From Submarines to San Diego – Meet Dr. Jamie
You can take the dentist out of California, but you can’t take California out of the dentist.
A Huge Fan of the Golden State
Dr. Michelle is a huge fan of the Golden State. Originally from Redondo Beach, she completed her undergraduate degree from the University of California at San Diego. She received her dental training from the UCLA School of Dentistry.
However, for her general dentistry residency, she traveled to the East Coast where she worked at a Trauma 1 Center in New York. This meant she saw a lot of emergency patients. While it was very valuable training, it also made her realize how much she missed the relationship-building that is the hallmark of family dentistry.
After her residency, she headed back to the West Coast to focus on family dentistry. Dr. Michelle is very familiar with family dentistry: both her dad and her brother are orthodontists!
A Fun & Enthusiastic Dentist for Kids
“I’m a California girl!” she says enthusiastically. “I also love treating kids—and as they’ll tell you, I also like hearing and telling silly jokes.”
She is a huge fan of the hiking and biking trails that wind throughout the San Diego area, which she enjoys with her boyfriend of five years.
“My favorite hiking trial is the Kwaay Paay Peak, a one-hour loop that takes me above the clouds,” she says.
Dr. Michelle speaks English, Spanish and Vietnamese. Visit her at our Downtown location…and be sure to tell her your favorite silly joke!
