Meet the Doctors

Meet Dr. Adams

I’ve always felt extraordinarily lucky to be a pediatric dentist. It’s more of a passion with me than a profession. Perhaps where others find their “work” as a means to earn an income to enable them to lead the kind of life they would like to enjoy, pediatric dentistry is an integral part of what I enjoy most out of life.

Meet Dr. Hurng

Dr. Jon’s care philosophy is to provide positive team-based care for his patients, implement goal-oriented approaches toward prevention and management of oral health disease, and empower patients and their parents through oral health education. Dr. Jon believes that quality pediatric dental care should be accessible, consistent, and most important enjoyable!

Meet Dr. Susan

Dr. Susan Ku grew up in Palo Alto, CA and is thrilled to serve the incredible families back in her hometown! Dr. Susan believed that each child is special and strives to provide personalized care in a warm, inviting, and fun environment.
