I am originally from Southern California and graduated from University of the Pacific in Stockton, California. I graduated in 1999, in San Francisco at the University of the Pacific, Dugoni School of Dentistry, followed by a residency program in Advanced Education in General Dentistry at the University of California, San Francisco. I have completed my advanced training in hospital dentistry, Endodontics, Prosthodontics, Implantology, Oral Surgery, Oral Pathology, and Temporomandibular Disorder. In 2015, I earned my Fellowship in Dental Implantology from the International Congress of Oral Implantologists.
I am passionate about dental health and enjoy practicing dentistry. My oral health care philosophy includes treating whole patients, not just oral disease. This approach allows me to provide a health-focused dental practice and achieve balance by promoting stability and harmony in all aspects of life: physical, social, emotional, spiritual, and intellectual.
I am active in continuing education and always exceed the amount required by the American Dental Board. I believe in giving back to the community by volunteer work and educating our children about dental health. Outside of the office, I love spending time with my husband, two sons and my daughter. I also enjoy hiking, camping, traveling, and have an avid interest in the latest food fad (foodie).
Thank you for visiting our website, and it would be a privilege to serve you.
I mostly grew up in the Bay Area and graduated from University of California, San Francisco School of Dentistry. I also obtained the Master in Public Health with an emphasis in Sociocultural Diversity & Health from the University of California, Irvine. Applying my personal goal to bring gentle and exceptional dentistry to all, I served multiple years providing dental care and education to the many underprivileged communities of Green Bay, WI. Returning to my home in California, I am excited to continue my passion here in Petaluma, CA.
My combined background of public health and dentistry has taught me to address dental diseases as a systemic issue by educating my patients to better understand their oral health. My treatment philosophy prioritizes saving natural teeth structures and provides dental care necessary for the health and welfare of my patients.
Aside from dentistry, I enjoy traveling and exploring the world with my wife. Recently, we visited the Hokkaido region of Japan to experience the Sapporo Snow Festival and the unique drift ice walk. I am also an avid visitor at many of the US National Parks with a lifetime goal of visiting all the parks in the country. My favorite hobbies include deep sea fishing, basketball, cooking, and hiking.
It would be a great pleasure to meet you and I look forward to serving you in the near future.
Hello there! Welcome to our website.
Due to the fact that I wear multiple hats, which include (but are not limited to) receptionist, insurance and financial coordinator, schedule coordinator, and office administrator, I will probably be your first contact with our office. I have worked in dentistry for about 30 plus years, but I do not let my job interrupt my social schedule or hobbies, which include boating and travel.
It is my mission to be devoted in providing excellent customer service so your experience is a positive one. Your comfort is our priority.
I’m looking forward to hearing from you. Call me anytime!

Hello,
I’m Laurie, my dental career started out as an administrative assistant, greeting and helping patients make their appointments. I later received my dental assisting degree and assisted the doctor chair side for many years. Now, I am back to the front assisting patients with their appointments. In my spare time, I love to spend time with my family and go camping. I will be one of the first to greet you when you call the office. Thank you for visiting and I hope to talk to you soon.

I am Ranjana Shrestha, Registered Dental Hygienist. I am originally from Nepal, and have been here since 2008. I did my hygiene schooling at Indiana University of Dentistry (IUSD) and graduated in 2014. I moved to California in 2017. My passion is education about the oral health and goals of patient care and comfort. Besides hygiene, I love to spend time with my daughter Sophie and my husband. I enjoy hiking and watching movies, as well.
Hi, I’m Sean Gronberg, a Registered Dental Hygienist. I switched my major from Civil Engineering to Dental Hygiene in 2014. I graduated from the Santa Rosa Dental Hygiene program and have developed a passion for serving my community and providing health education. I was given much inspiration and encouragement from my grandfather. He had been a Dentist for Public Health with the coast guard on the west and east coast, and later transitioned to dental materials research. One of my greatest joys is to help someone achieve health and the smile they seek. I am a Sonoma county local, born and raised. During my free time I enjoy hiking, spending time at the lakes, and all around enjoy the wonderful opportunities our county has to offer. I look forward to being your dental hygienist.
I joined Dr. Chan’s office in 2021 to assist with the front office and have since transitioned into dental assisting. I enjoy learning new things every day, and dentistry not only allows me to work with my hands, but also care for our patients. I live in Petaluma with my husband, 10 year old daughter, and 3 year old son. I enjoy spending time outdoors and exploring new places with my family. I am excited for my future growth in the dental profession with this great team. I hope to see you as a patient.
