Renton, Washington, United States
I am a general dentist committed to providing comprehensive, patient centered care with an emphasis on clear communication, trust, and long term outcomes. I believe that great dentistry begins with strong patient relationships, and I prioritize taking the time to thoroughly explain the “what,” “why,” and “how” behind every diagnosis and procedure so patients feel informed, comfortable, and confident in their care. I earned my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based dentistry and multidisciplinary treatment planning. I further advanced my clinical training through an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency at HealthPoint Tukwila, where I gained extensive experience managing complex cases and treating diverse patient populations. This experience strengthened my skills in restorative dentistry, endodontics, prosthodontics, removable prosthetics, and oral surgery, while refining my ability to develop comprehensive, patient specific treatment plans. Currently practicing in a high volume private practice setting, I routinely perform a wide range of procedures including crown and bridge, endodontics (including molars), surgical extractions (including most third molars), and removable prosthetics. I have also incorporated implant dentistry into my practice, with experience in both placement and restoration. To further develop my implant skillset, I have completed advanced training through the Hiossen Implant Master Course and a year-long Implant Pathway Program, where I am also a Fellow. In addition, I have earned my Fellowship in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (FICOI). I continue to build on this foundation through ongoing continuing education and hands on training. Working with diverse communities, including a large Vietnamese patient population, has further strengthened my ability to deliver culturally competent and personalized care. I adapt my communication style to meet each patient’s needs, ensuring they feel heard, respected, and supported throughout their treatment journey. Outside of clinical practice, I remain committed to service and outreach. My participation in a humanitarian dental mission in the Dominican Republic reinforced my dedication to improving access to care and addressing oral health disparities. I am always open to connecting with other clinicians and professionals who value growth, collaboration, and delivering high-quality dentistry.
