Adriana Ustarez-Oji, DDS
Dr. Adriana Ustarez-Oji, also known as Dr. Addie, grew up in Los Angeles. She wanted to become a dentist at the age of thirteen, after going to her mother’s dental assisting classes during the Summer of 1993. She went on to obtain her B.S. degree in Biological Sciences from California State University, Los Angeles and receive her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of California San Francisco. Thereafter, she completed a General Practice Residency at Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno, California.
As a resident, Dr. Addie fell in love with the people and the lifestyle of the Central Valley. Following residency, she decided to practice as a family dentist for Family Healthcare Network in Visalia where she spent five years. While working at FHCN, Dr. Addie realized that she enjoyed dentistry most when working with children. As a result, she returned to residency at UCLA where she completed her training in Pediatric Dentistry. Dr. Addie is a member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry and board certified with the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
Dr. Addie is mommy to Owen, Chloe, Nora and wife to George. They mean the world to her. When Dr. Addie is not in the office, she enjoys creating new memories with her family. As a mom, she understands first hand that children are a parent’s most prized asset and as such, she treats every child under her care as if they were her own. It is a goal of Dr. Addie that all children have access to quality oral healthcare in a nurturing and caring environment.
