Diplomate, National Dental Board of Anesthesiology

Fellow, American Dental Society of Anesthesiology

As a board-certified dentist anesthesiologist, I specialize in bringing hospital-grade general anesthesia and IV sedation directly to the dental office. My focus is to ensure every patient, particularly those with dental anxiety, special needs, or complex health histories, can access the care they need in a comfortable and safe setting.

I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the Loma Linda University School of Dentistry. Following graduation, I pursued extensive training in anesthesiology. This included programs at Riverside County Regional Medical Center, where I focused on Anesthesiology and Internal Medicine, as well as at Loma Linda University Medical Center and the Surgery Center for Dentistry at Loma Linda University.

My experience includes providing anesthesia for thousands of patients during various dental procedures, such as implants, extractions, root canals, and periodontal surgeries. I am dedicated to caring for patients of all ages, but I hold a special interest in pediatric dentistry. Being a father to three children has given me a deep appreciation for the importance of creating a gentle and reassuring atmosphere for young patients and their parents.

My mission is to deliver safe, compassionate, and personalized anesthesia care. I am committed to helping every patient overcome fear and receive necessary dental treatment with comfort and confidence.
