Let's hear your origin story.
My parents always pushed me to become
a medical doctor. As the obedient child, I
volunteered at the hospital and began my
college career at Arizona State University
majoring in molecular biosciences and
biotechnology. Very quickly, I discovered
that I did not have the passion for molecular
biology and changed my majors to philosophy
and Spanish. Nevertheless, I continued the
path of being a premed student.
During a medical volunteer trip my
junior year, I unexpectedly rotated through
a dental hygiene station. This was my first
exposure to dentistry and I absolutely fell in
love. I realized that while I did not like being
in a hospital setting, I very much enjoyed
the patient interaction and lightheartedness
of dentistry.
I returned from this trip and focused
my efforts on learning the field of dentistry.
I began to shadow different dentists and
eventually became an assistant for a general
dentist, Dr. Daniel Kang, working part time
assisting in both the front and back office.
That time solidified my desire to go into the
field of dentistry. With Dr. Kang's guidance,
I applied to dental school and was accepted
at Harvard School of Dental Medicine.
During dental school, I explored all
the different specialties and found my
true passion in orthodontics. Because my
mother lived in Los Angeles at the time, I
accepted a position and graduated from the
orthodontics program at the University of
California Los Angeles.
You started a scratch practice
with your wife, a pediatric dentist.
How does her side of the office
benefit your side, and vice versa?
We call Christine's pediatric dental side
the "farm system" for our orthodontic side.
Most of her new patients are much younger,
in the up-to-age-7 range, and don't require
any orthodontic treatment at the moment. As
these patients become older, we can expect
some of them to become orthodontic patients.
On the flip side, some orthodontic patients
I see transfer their general/pediatric dental
care to our office due to the simplicity of
being under the same roof.
