Working at ICHS gives me an opportunity to work with underserved patients that come from a diverse background.
I believe in not just treating my patients by cleaning their teeth but also by educating them with life style changes for healthier overall wellbeing.

ICHS provides a very rewarding and enjoyable work environment. I love working with our patients. They are very kind and appreciative of our care.
Treat patients the same way you would treat your family member. Communication is important, and a patient’s opinion is essential to providing the best care possible.
I vacation any time of the year except summertime. That’s because Seattle has such amazing outdoor opportunities. I go kayaking, fishing, and take the dog out whenever I get the chance.

I enjoy working in mission-focused healthcare, helping the Asian American as well as neighboring community, and establishing relationships with my patients and the staff at ICHS.
I try to treat each patient as a family member providing the best oral healthcare possible. I will do my best to explain all treatment so you understand exactly what is needed and what your options are, with the help of ICHS staff. I want you to leave happy and satisfied with your oral healthcare, knowing that we care about you.
I played college soccer. I love sweets, especially chocolate. I like to watch documentaries, YouTube, and European soccer.

I love working with a diverse population. You never know who will walk in and what story they will bring.
I try my best to always put myself in the patient’s position to understand what their needs are. Then I take the most conservative approach first to get them what they need.

As a son of immigrants myself I understand the value of being able to find care for the family in an unfamiliar environment. It was difficult for my parents to communicate their needs to doctors who did not speak their language. ICHS provides this for its patients and it is an honor to work here.
All patient care should come from a place of compassion.
I am a big fan of Scandinavian film and music from the UK. In my spare time I enjoy cooking for my family and I paint when my kids allow it.

I love the cultural diversity at ICHS. Being bilingual myself, I feel I can relate to many people at my work, including the staff I work with and the patients I serve. Through the few years I have been at ICHS I realized there are many underserved people who can use my help. This is one the most challenging positions since I have been a dental hygienist but is also one of most rewarding and I have learned a lot here as well.
Help patients be at ease by being approachable and establish trust and respect with each and every patient.
I like to be active so I love outdoors activities.
