Kalani R.Being environmentally responsible is something I deeply believe in. My dream has always been to combine my love of dentistry and being green. Taking over Dr. Fred’s office is bringing that dream into reality. The training I received at the prestigious Pacific Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco has given me skills to provide exceptional dental care. It is my sincere belief that I will continue to provide the same to all our patients in the comfortable setting of our state of the art facility. I am an avid diy person with passion for photography, reading and traveling. My husband and I hiked first time in Yosemite 10 years ago and we are as much in love with its beauty today as we were back then. On my off days you will find me reading and running behind my 2 active boys.
For me, dentistry is more than a profession; it’s a calling that enables me to create a meaningful difference in the lives of my patients. I believe that compassionate care, combined with expertise, can elevate your dental experience and help you feel truly cared for. My goal is to be the dentist you can trust for exceptional care tailored to your individual needs.
As an avid learner, I am committed to staying at the forefront of advancements in dental technology and techniques, ensuring you always have access to the best and most effective treatment options available. Beyond clinical expertise, I bring a creative touch to my work, rooted in my passion for art—I enjoy painting landscapes in oil, which complements the precision and artistry dentistry demands.
I am a proud graduate of the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry in San Francisco and have called the Bay Area home for over 15 years. When I’m not in the office, I cherish spending time with my husband and our two wonderful children.
I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve a healthy, confident smile!
