Office Tour

This is the office that I stumbled upon, in June of 2007, quite by accident, and ended up owning it by sheer luck! Of all the good things that have resulted from acquiring this office, the foremost are that I now am closer to home, have some work-life balance in my life, and have the time to be part of and see my son, now 11, grow into a young boy! Did I mention that my son was born in San Ramon, not quite a mile away in the San Ramon Regional Center? I am looking forward to being in my beautiful office and in this vibrant community for a long time! My office is spacious with abundant natural light streaming in from our numerous wall length windows! The office reflects the character and personality of its owner - the vibrant colors of the business offices, the soothing green of the reception, the sky blue of the consulting room and the intimate pink of the my favorite operatories are a testament to the art in my life! And why not? It is well known that dentistry is a perfect blend of art and science, with a dash of structural engineering thrown in for good measure! I have been blessed with some extraordinarily talented folks in my core team. Ricardo (Granados) is a highly accomplished assistant and has been with me for more than 5 years. He loves surgery but is as careful and gentle as a Parisian florist creating an exquisite wedding bouquet. Vicki (Drush) is my hygienist but she is as knowledgeable and experienced as any associate I may have wanted to hire. Vicki’s demeanor is as re-assuring to a child as a shallow wading pool – warm, welcoming, safe and secure. Her knowledge is as deep as the diving end of a pool in an Olympic meet – broad enough to answer any questions and deep enough to make an adult feel secure in her skilled hands. Me, I am my mission – I want to revitalize my patients’ lives and rejuvenate their smiles in an environment conducive to trust, excellence and long lasting relationships.
