Find a Doctor

My commitment to dentistry started in Brazil where I received my DDS. I continued my education at Loma Linda University in the US. As a healthcare professional I believe that preventive care and education are the keys to optimal dental health. I will strive to treat all my patients as special individuals and hope to always fulfill their needs by building a trustworthy relationship. I believe that this can be accomplished by encouraging all patients to understand and be involved in their treatment in order to achieve the best results. I feel blessed to be a part of the improvement in their self-esteem and overall health.

I started working as a Physician Assistant for Clinicas in August of 1994. I have enjoyed providing medical care for our patients and it has been exciting watching Clinicas' growth. It is a pleasure to serve the patients of Clinicas del Camino Real, Inc.

My treatment philosophy is to educate my patients on how to better maintain their oral health and share with them the possible treatment options available to them, in order to help them make well informed decisions regarding their oral care. I focus greatly on preventive dentistry and health education. I am happily married and have three beautiful daughters. After work, I focus on my family and love to cook and travel.

They say “time flies when you are having fun” and for me the years have gone so quickly. I have enjoyed the last 24 years, yet they seem to have passed in a flash. I love family medicine because I am able to make lasting relationships with my patients and meet different people every day. I have traveled to different parts of the world and treated patients from very different backgrounds and cultures. What I have learned through my experiences is that everyone wants to feel good, not only physically but emotionally as well. Therefore, I believe in treating the whole person - the physical, the emotional, and the spiritual. I look forward to meeting you.
