Dr Jamie Paychev

It has always been my goal to share my enthusiasm and expertise with my community. In 2022, I was honored to be chosen by Dr. Walker to carry on her practice as she takes the next step in her career as a full-time faculty member of her alma mater, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. I welcome the opportunity to meet new and existing patients at 150 Middlefield Road in Menlo Park. I attended University of the Pacific, Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco and earned my DDS with Honors and an award for clinical excellence. Some leadership roles I took on include being Editor-in-Chief of the CDA Pacific newsletter and serving on the board of the U.O.P. Esthetics Club. I also led mission trips to Jamaica with 50 classmates and faculty, and it was here that my dedication to giving back to underserved communities was founded. Opportunities to serve have come up as a military dentist as well as through private organizations, and it is my goal to go on at least one mission trip per year. I was born and raised in the Bay Area and from very early on in life, I knew I wanted to make a career out of improving the health of others in a way that is personable, technical, and artistic. I graduated from University of California, Santa Barbara, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences degree while enjoying the sunshine playing beach volleyball. I also worked part time as a dental assistant and in the Army Reserves. Following college graduation, I was commissioned into the Army Medical Corps and later the Army Dental Corps. It has been a privilege to serve both my country as well as my community through the Army Reserves, which allowed me to also work in at a dental office in Palo Alto. As much as it saddens me to leave my former dental family, I am looking forward to all the new relationships I can build with patients here. When not at the office, I spend my time on adventures with my two Goldendoodles, playing volleyball, skiing, and biking. I also am a member of the International Team for Implantology, American Dental Association, California Dental Association, and the Mid-Peninsula Dental Society where I attend regular courses to stay abreast of medical and dental findings, new techniques and equipment.
