Get to know Dr. Mike.
Michael grew up in Southern California and, from a young age, his father encouraged him that he “would make a great dentist”—and he has! He earned his DDS from USC in 1988 and soon after moved to Redding with his wife, Julie, to begin their life in the Northstate. More than 35 years, four sons, four daughters-in-law, and five grandchildren later, Mike and Julie are still proud to call Redding home for life!
Dr. Mike has loved caring for generations of local families and treasures the relationships he has built with his patients over the years. He was especially grateful when his son, Dr. Jon, joined the practice in 2019, followed by his son, Dr. Adam, in 2024. Today, working alongside his sons and longtime team members, Dr. Mike enjoys seeing the practice continue to grow while carrying on the family tradition of caring for the people of Redding.
“Best Dentist I have ever had and as long as he is still in practice he will be the only Dentist I ever have.
