Dr. Patricia de Graw-Schwartz and Staff
Hello! I am Dr. Patricia de Graw-Schwartz. I have been taking care of patients’ dental needs in Orange County since 1995. Even though I grew up and lived in various parts of the world, including Boston, Massachusetts; Barcelona, Spain; and Hamburg, Germany, I have chosen to settle with my family in the city of Orange. Welcome to my website!
Let me provide some insight into my education background. I graduated with my Doctorate Degree in Dental Surgery from Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois, Class of 1994. Prior to this, I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology from the University of Colorado at Boulder and one in Medical Technology from the University of Colorado, Health Sciences Center.
My personal mission is to provide comprehensive dental services to families in the community in a genuine, professional and caring environment. This includes routine maintenance exam and cleaning, restoring decayed teeth and eliminating pain, replacing missing teeth which may include implants, and cosmetic procedures.
My staff and I believe that building a foundation of trust by treating our patients as special individuals is vital to our success. We understand how uneasy some patients may feel about their dental visits, and how we can make a difference by providing a relaxing and positive experience. Our entire team is dedicated to providing you with excellent, personalized care and service to make your visits as comfortable and pleasant as possible.
Thank you for visiting our website today. We look forward to serving you. If you have any questions or would like to schedule a complimentary consultation, give us (your dentist in Orange Ca) a call at (714) 282-2490
