A lifelong connection to this community.

I have practiced in the Bay Area for 15 years and believe my job is to guide patients through the best decisions for their optimal oral health and to provide conscientious and trustworthy care.

I was born in Palo Alto and completed all of my training in the Bay Area. I perform a broad array of procedures and am continually updating my knowledge on the latest techniques and protocols by attending courses around the country to help my patients achieve their best oral health.

I enjoy volunteering my time at free clinics such as Give Kids a Smile, Berkeley Free Clinic, Special Smiles for the Special Olympics and Veterans Oral Health Fair. In addition to owning Palo Alto Oral Health, I serve as a Subject Matter Expert for the Dental Board of California, am a Board Member for the Mid-Peninsula Dental Society and am an active member of the Dental Artificial Intelligence (AI) Council.

Outside of the office, I enjoy spending time with my daughter and bernedoodle, going to the gym, hiking, golfing, and trying to find the best ramen in the Bay Area. I live here in Palo Alto with my loving wife, Tanya, a breast oncologist.
