I was born and raised a Huskies, Mariners, and Seahawks fan across the water in Seattle. Growing up in the Northwest I grew fond of the great outdoors and enjoy camping, hiking, snowboarding, basketball, ping-pong, photography and raising my two dogs, Wookiee and Kongsoon. I received my doctorate from New York University College of Dentistry. My love for dentistry led me to participate in United Way's Community Resource Exchange dental mobile van for the homeless population, Smiling Faces Going Places (a dental van providing dentistry to underprivileged children), Oral cancer walk fundraisers raising awareness and doing screenings for oral cancer, and providing services to the community in various King County Public Health Dental Clinics around the region. Most recently I had the opportunity to treat the needs and desires of my patients in Palm Desert, CA doing significant smile makeovers and smile reconstructions. I also love gadgets and dental science is advancing all the time which allows me to employ the newest technology and techniques to provide the most up-to-date care for my patients. Currently, I am also advising on a University of Washington research team for a new dental technology. I am versed in all phases of dentistry including certifications in tissue laser dentistry (by the World Laser Institute), oral surgery, Invisalign and implants. I have also been awarded as a Fellow by the International Congress of Oral Implantologists. More importantly, I believe in giving ethical and honest treatment to all of my patients.
