I had an old crown which needed replacing. Dr. Park explained the treatment and made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. She is remarkable! Her staff is also fantastic and most helpful. Thank you, Dr. Park and staff!

Our Dental Family

Lynda

Front Desk

Lynda is the first face you see when you walk into the office. With over 30 years of dental administrative experience, Linda will always be there for you — from answering insurance questions to checking how you are doing after dental procedures.

In her free time, she loves spending time with her 4 children at home (while 4 other boys are in the military), 4 cats, 4 dogs, and friends!

Charles

Registered Dental Hygienist

Charles has been a dental hygienist for over 29 years, and loves what he does. If there is anything he would like to bring to the chair, it is teaching patients good habits on homecare and the ability to floss correctly. In spare time he loves to spend time with his family and loves anything to do with water (fishing, boating, scuba diving, floating.) Costco and Disneyland are his favorite happy places, but he doesn’t get the floss at Costco. Ask him why the next time you come in!

Maryam

Registered Dental Hygienist

Your oral hygiene coach! With over 20 years of experience, she’ll gently clean your teeth and help you improve your gums and health.

Her hobbies? Spending time with her loving daughters and family.

Our patients’ smiles, our greatest joy
