From there he graduated at the top of his class at Columbia University in New York City. He then moved to San Francisco to finish his residency at UCSF where he is now a part time faculty member.

I love helping our patients achieve their dreams of having the perfect smile. I love working in orthodontics because I feel I really get to know our patients and their families. In my spare time I love spending time with my 3 beautiful grandchildren. I love to spend time with family and friends, cooking and baking. My husband is a retired firefighter and we love to travel and we enjoy taking road trips in our restored 1946 Ford Woodie.

In my spare time, I enjoy exploring the beautiful Bay Area, volunteering my time in Bible education, and spending time with family and friends.
