Born and raised in Scotts Valley, California, Dr. Elena’s interest in dentistry formed at a very young age. She grew up observing and eventually assisting her father in his own dental practice prior to attending dental school. She graduated from Santa Clara University with a bachelor’s in religious studies and went on to complete a master’s in biomedical sciences at Barry University in Miami. With dentistry in her future, she completed her Doctorate of Dental Surgery from the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco. In listening carefully to her patients, her goal is to provide patient-centered, comprehensive care through a minimally invasive, gentle, and integrative approach. She strives to remain at the forefront of a continuously evolving field and is completing advanced training in neuromuscular dentistry at the Las Vegas Institute for Advanced Dental Studies. Dr. Elena enjoys giving back to her local community and has volunteered at events like Monterey County Stand Down, Project Homeless Connect in San Francisco, and CDA Cares in Solano. Her passion for dentistry, combined with her love of travel, has led to two dental mission trips to Fiji and a dental mission trip to Peru.
