JANE CHOI, DDS
Dr. Choi, an east coast transplant, started her dental journey in forensic dentistry as an undergrad studying skeletal remains in North Carolina. She decided that she’d much rather interact with living people, so she completed her dental doctorate with honors at the UNC School of Dentistry in 2010 and continued her post-grad training at the VA Medical Center in Long Beach. Along the way, she filled her passport with dental mission trips to Guatemala and Honduras and surgery externships in Brazil and South Africa. To share her passion for dentistry, she taught as an instructor at the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry. She continues to stay at the cutting edge of dentistry through continuing education; she has completed the UCSF Dental Sleep Medicine residency for treatment of obstructive sleep apnea with oral appliances and completed a Mastership in Biomimetic Dentistry to provide patients with ethical, long lasting and conservative restorations.
When she doesn’t have her hands in people’s mouths, Dr. Choi and her husband wrangle their two kids to find the best playgrounds in SF.
