My undergraduate work was in Anthropology and Pre-dental from Cal State Fullerton; BS in health sciences and DDS were earned at UCSF; my MS in Oral Biology and specialty residencies for Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics are from UCLA. I am a practicing orthodontist in Irvine for 20 years and voluntary faculty for USC's Pediatric Dental Residency Program where I teach interceptive orthodontics. For years I have had an interest in health informatics as well as information systems and technology. My office has always been state of the art with the technology available. I love learning for learning sake, but do hope to take some of this information and use it to benefit dentistry.
