Professional Education And Experience

I am a proud graduate of Punahou School, the University of Washington and its School of Dentistry, serving as a faculty instructor on implants and restorative dentistry. With over 15 years in private practice, I love what I do.

 

What Sets You Apart?

My passionate commitment to the best outcomes in dental care includes contacting my patients following procedures to check on their overall well-being. I believe effective treatment extends to identifying my patients’ concerns and calming their fears. Communication is essential for a strong doctor-patient relationship to improve health outcomes by ensuring clear understanding of patients’ dental needs and meeting their priorities. In 2018, Honolulu native and fellow graduate of UW’s School of Dentistry Dr. Lauren Weiss joined our dental ‘ohana. Our growing team has increased our accessibility to provide skilled and compassionate dentistry.

 

Contribution to the Community

In honor of the dedication of my mentors, Drs. William Vogt and Walter Ching, I continue their mentorship tradition by sharing my knowledge with others who aspire to have a career in dentistry. Coaching Punahou’s intermediate football team is my small way of giving back to a school that gave me so much.

 

I’m so very grateful to have an awesome partner like Dr. Lauren Weiss. Having her help in delivering high-quality dental care to our patients has been a dream come true. Together, we look forward to serving you the best dental care possible. Mahalo!
