  • Santa Clarita has been my home for over 30 years, and I love living here and serving this community! I am from Lima, Peru, where I did my dental training at Cayetano Heredia University. After completing my DDS I moved to the United States to attend the University of Alabama at Birmingham for both my orthodontics residency and Master of Science in Oral Biology. Following my educational years, I worked in Cincinnati, Ohio for two years prior to coming to California and eventually finding a home in Santa Clarita. My three kids all grew up here and I can’t believe one of them is now working with me! I truly love my job and my patients, and I am so grateful to be able to do what I do!

  • I was born and raised in Santa Clarita and I am proud to call this city my home. I went to Hart High School before attending college at USC. After college I went to UCLA for my dental training, and then the University of Michigan to specialize in orthodontics. I’m excited to be back home in Santa Clarita and to work at this practice with my mom. Being able to learn from her is priceless, and we’re ready to team up and be the best orthodontists we can be for our patients!
