Provider Bio

Our team is so special because they have remained with EG Ortho for so many years, had their kids, raised their families, brought all their kids in to be our patients, and still enjoy coming to the office every day!

We are all deeply committed to enhancing the lives of our patients by creating great smiles in a fun and positive environment. Our practice has been voted Best Elk Grove Orthodontist seven years in a row and been chosen as a Top Orthodontist in Sacramento Magazine.

I went to Oregon State University for my undergraduate degree and attended Oregon Health & Science University for my Doctorate of Dental Medicine — graduating with highest honors. I spent three years in the US Navy, including a one-year hospital general practice residency. Then I returned to OHSU to complete my orthodontic training before moving to Elk Grove and opening Elk Grove’s first full-time orthodontic practice.

I regularly attend continuing education courses through our local dental society, the California Dental Association, as well as state and national orthodontic meetings. This keeps our practice current and innovative.
