I am a dentist with advanced postgraduate training in Oral Medicine, having completed a CODA-accredited residency at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), where I also served as Chief Resident. My academic and clinical background focuses on the diagnosis and management of oral mucosal diseases, salivary gland dysfunction, orofacial pain disorders, and oral complications related to systemic conditions and cancer therapies. I have significant experience managing medically complex patients, including those with autoimmune conditions, immunosuppression, and head and neck cancers.
In parallel with my clinical work, I have consistently been involved in teaching and mentoring dental students, residents, and international trainees. I provide instruction in oral medicine, oral pathology, and diagnostic reasoning through both one-on-one sessions and group-based case discussions. My teaching approach is case-based, practical, and supportive—designed to build clinical confidence and deepen understanding of often challenging topics.
In addition to clinical topics, I offer guidance in writing scientific essays, abstracts, and research manuscripts. I have experience publishing in peer-reviewed journals and can help with literature organization, structuring arguments, and refining language for clarity and impact. Whether you're studying for exams, reviewing clinical concepts, or preparing a publication, I’m committed to helping you succeed with clarity, depth, and confidence.
