Dr Patel has recently joined our team, but he has been involved in dentistry for the last 13 years. Being a partner he is committed to your long term oral health and experience at the office. He is now setting his roots in the Bay Area.

Dr Patel is licensed to practice in two countries. He completed his BDS in London, at the Royal London Hospital in 2010. There he operated two offices. In 2016 he wanted to challenge himself and begin a career across the pond. He too attained his DDS at the University of the Pacific under the mentorship of Dr Hakim in 2018.

His hard work has been rewarded by induction into Tau Kappa Omega. The dental school organized its Tau Kappa Omega dental honor society in 1927 in an effort to promote honor and service to the alma mater. Doctors are admitted on the basis of ideals, scholarship and character. Dr Hakim is also a member.

His clinical services have been recognized as he was a finalist at the prestigious Dentistry Awards for the Best Young Dentist in the UK 2012. His offices have gone on to win several other accolades.

He has a proven passion to deliver high quality care. He loves to use conservative dentistry to achieve healthy, functional and brilliant smiles. He has special interest in full fixed and invisible orthodontics (using a combination of clear/traditional braces and clear aligner therapy) in order to practice ethical and non-invasive dentistry. He has also developed a passion for implant dentistry.

Outside of the office, Dr. Patel spends as much time with his friends and family as possible. He is fully involved with a local cricket team in Fremont. He remains an avid fan of his boyhood team, Liverpool Football Club. Aside from sports he is a big movie buff.

Dr. Hakim received his undergraduate degree from San Jose State in 1987, followed by his doctorate in dentistry in 1991 from the University of the Pacific. Dedicated to furthering his business acumen, he received an MBA from the University of the Pacific in 1999.

Shortly after graduating from dental school, a perfect opportunity arose to buy a small private practice in scenic, family-friendly San Ramon. Having since moved locations and grown this practice to a strong community, Dr. Hakim has been providing high-quality dental care to many loyal patients since 1992.

A smaller private practice is ideal for Dr. Hakim because he feels it is the best environment in which to provide one-on-one, personalized care. He believes in a holistic approach, which means he is not only committed to maintaining and improving patients’ oral health but is concerned about their overall health. An integral part of that philosophy involves an emphasis on prevention and early detection, so for instance, decay can be kept to a minimum and patients can retain the majority of their natural tooth structure. Whenever possible, Dr. Hakim uses minimally invasive dental (MID) procedures.

Outside of the office, Dr. Hakim spends as much time with his incredible wife and two children as possible. He’s a diehard golfer and takes up the occasional basketball or soccer games, as well. He loves traveling, fishing, and enjoying the gourmet dining throughout San Ramon.

Now, he’s living out his dream, serving patients from all over the Bay Area and surrounding communities.

In 1989, Dr. Broschinsky graduated from dental school and has practiced professionally ever since. He worked in downtown San Francisco for over eight years before setting up shop in San Ramon. Next year, 2019, marks his 30th year as a dentist, an important milestone to Dr. Broschinsky and his supportive staff.

Dr. Broschinsky’s passion for dentistry is continually growing and he’s always keeping up with the latest technology in the field. He offers his patients the best options concerning their dental health, including services that can restore and improve smiles — such as veneers, crowns, dentures, and implants. At every stage of treatment, the wellbeing and comfort of his patients is his top priority.

His friendly, calm, and relaxed attitude has convinced countless patients that there’s no reason to be afraid of the dentist anymore. Dr. Broschinsky creates a positive experience that makes each patient leave with a smile.

Outside of the office, Dr. Broschinsky enjoys spending time with his family, playing the piano, writing music, or teaching his dog Lola new tricks. He and his son recently started taking Tae Kwon Do and together they enjoy learning new moves at their weekly lessons.
