Miyasaki

Born and raised in Sacramento, California, and attended dental school at the University of Southern California where I graduated in 1987. During those 30 years, I have been very fortunate to have experienced many different aspects of the dental profession. For 27 of those years, I have been involved in education, mostly in live-patient treatment programs, which I consider the best way to learn. I have had the opportunity to travel and work with my dental colleagues internationally, and I always enjoy seeing that no matter where dentists practice, such as India, Russia, Lebanon, Albania, Mexico, or Australia, they are all very much alike. I have always been an active practitioner, but I returned to Sacramento 5 years ago to be closer to my family and then purchased a practice 3 years ago. I have also been an editor-in-chief of a dental magazine and have been involved at an executive level with many dental companies over the years. Dentistry has been much more and given much more to me than I would have ever thought. I must say, I have loved every day.
