Experienced Watsonville Dentists You Can Trust 

My passion is to create possibilities and enhance lives, one smile at a time. It is so exciting to help my patients achieve their dream smiles, especially when they never felt it was possible. When patients express their trust in me, that’s rewarding. To me, being a dentist is the perfect marriage of art and science. Every day I get to help people not only to be healthier but to look and feel better in the process. My mission is to listen to each individual’s concerns and create possibilities to achieve his or her personal goals.

Watsonville Dentist with Strong Roots in Education and Community

I graduated from Fresno State with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. I then went on to the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), where I obtained my dental degree (DDS), followed by a Residency in General Dentistry (GPR), at University Medical Center in Fresno, CA.
In 2006 I moved from Fresno to Watsonville to join Dr. Lee Williams at this practice, named Green Valley Dentistry at the time. Here in Watsonville I found the ideal place to raise my children and serve my community.

I feel very lucky to work with such an excellent team. I’m constantly impressed by their ability to connect with patients of all different ages and backgrounds. They bring a personality and understanding to our practice that makes it a delightful place to wake up and go to work every day. I truly appreciate their hunger for growth and great attitude, as well as their desire to deliver excellence to our patients.

Continuous education keeps my knowledge and skills on the leading-edge of dentistry and stokes my passion for dentistry and wellness. I am committed to continuous growth and learning to better serve our patients.

Throughout the year I participate in lectures and seminars, attend multiple meetings, and avidly study the latest journals. Staying up to date with new techniques and materials, as well as technological innovations, ensures I am offering patients proven, safe, and effective care.

Among my continuing educational highlights, I am a:

• Spear Education Alumnus
  Orthodontics Diploma from The United States Dental Institute.
  Qualified Dentist, American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine
  Fellow at The American Sleep and Breathing Academy
  Vivos Institute Alumnus and Qualified Provider.
  Tmj and Neuromuscular Dentistry Provider.

Watsonville Dentist with a Heart for Family and Life Beyond the Office

I grew up in Michoacan, Mexico. My family and I moved to California in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and it was here in California that I decided to become a dentist. I am forever grateful to this country for the opportunity it gives to everyone to pursue their dreams. I have two children, Alex, who is now attending Cabrillo College and Kirsten at Aptos High School.

When I’m not at the office, I like to spend time with my kids at home or taking a walk with them. I also enjoy working on my fruit three orchard, walking my dog Rocky, reading a good book or playing my guitar. I also like watching basketball and football, and follow the San Francisco 49rs, Golden State Warriors and Fresno State bulldogs.
