I come from a family of dentists, yet I didn’t have the best of teeth and went through a fair share of problems and procedures. Since then, I have tried to make getting dental care comfortable, simple, and as gentle as possible.

I am originally from Boston and graduated from Georgetown University in Washington DC. I have been in Santa Maria since 1978. I have always had a passion for cosmetic dentistry and strive to deliver beautiful smiles without shots and without grinding down teeth.

I grew up in a few different places when I was young, from Taiwan to South Africa and then to Ohio where I finished high school and college at Purdue University. I went to NYU College of Dentistry and simultaneously finished a surgery and implant fellowship. Our family relocated to the Central Coast in 2022. In my spare time I like running as well as spending time with my wife and son and our 2 canine babies: a shiba inu and border collie.

I’m a graduate of the University of Buffalo School of Dentistry in New York. I have been in Santa Maria California since 1997 and have been practicing in town for almost 20 years at a location close to St. Mary’s Church. I try to make dentistry as relaxed and gentle as possible. I really enjoy travelling and taking a lot of photos.
