Periodontist

My journey to becoming a periodontist began on the beautiful volcanic island of Jeju in South Korea, where the ocean views and natural wonders shaped my early appreciation for both beauty and resilience. Life took an adventurous turn when my family relocated to California, trading one coastal paradise for another.

My academic path led me to UC Davis for my undergraduate studies, where I embraced the quintessential Davis lifestyle, navigating the campus and town on two wheels. Those years spent pedaling between classes taught me the value of balance, efficiency, and occasionally, the importance of good brakes.

The pursuit of dentistry took me across the country to the University Of Maryland School Of Dental Medicine, the world’s first dental school. I was drawn to its rich history and renowned integration with the shock trauma center and medical school, perfectly aligning with my surgical interests.

My specialized training in periodontology and implantology was completed at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine, where I developed comprehensive surgical skills and a deeper understanding of oral health’s connection to overall well-being.

When I’m not focused on restoring smiles and oral health, you might find me wandering the streets with my camera, capturing unscripted moments of everyday life through street photography, or tending to my saltwater aquarium.

I believe that the best dental care combines technical excellence with genuine human connection. I look forward to getting to know you and helping you achieve optimal oral health with a treatment approach that’s as unique as your smile.
