I graduated from UC San Francisco Dental School and have been providing quality patient centered restorative dental care since 1982. Over the years, I have completed extensive advanced training in orthodontics, endodontics, dental implants, sleep disordered breathing, oral conscious sedation and comprehensive restorative care. However, there was always a group of patients that had orofacial pain (OFP) that were not completely addressed by traditional medical or dental care. These patients had real pain but could never find someone to see them as a whole person but rather a collection of symptoms. This is why I sought training at UCLA, the premier OFP program in the nation. I am currently the Assistant Director of the UCLA Postgraduate Orofacial Pain and Sleep Medicine program and as such, I am involved in research and instruction working with pain psychologists, neurologists, neurosurgeons, physical therapists and complementary medicine specialists. I am also the co-director of the UCLA TMD/Orofacial Pain Mini-Residency program that is involved in actively training general dentists and specialty residents to help patients with orofacial pain. I grew up in Sacramento and attended American River College before transferring to UC Davis. I attended UC San Francisco School of Dentistry and graduated in 1982 before moving back to Sacramento. My wife, Carmen, and I have been married for over 38 years, have three children and two grandchildren. We have lived in Roseville for over 25 years.
