Philosophy of Care:

1. Treat patients like family with gentle, friendly care and providing the best dental experience.
2. Treat patients with compassion and being sensitive to their needs/respecting their preferences and engaging them in decision-making and explaining treatment procedures in easy to understand language.
3. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I believe in educating patients, demonstrating and motivating them so they can take care of their own oral health with regular dental check-ups is the key to preserving their teeth for life.
4. Provide comprehensive and quality dental care to improve the quality of life and overall health of the underserved community.
5. I come to work with a positive attitude knowing that each day is an opportunity to make a difference in the patient’s lives

What I love about working at SNAHC:

1. Being a multi-disciplinary clinic, SNAHC provides a patient-centric dental home and holistic/comprehensive service by integrating medical, dental, and other services.
2. Working with a collaborative, dedicated staff who are committed to quality improvement to enhance patient experience/satisfaction.
3. The organization/leadership team is very supportive and acknowledges hard-work and encourages professional growth/development
4. As a teaching facility, I have the opportunity to mentor/supervise 4^th year UCSF/WUHS dental externs in treating our patients as part of their clinical learning experience in a community/public health setting.
5. Work-life balance/job satisfaction with opportunities for professional growth and career advancement.
