Dr. Matthew Yuen grew up in Alameda, CA. He has an older sister and two younger brothers and loves his niece and nephew. He played almost every sport and growing up wanted to become a professional baseball player.

Pro sports weren’t in the cards for Dr. Yuen, so he went to UC Davis and majored in Exercise Biology and minored in Technology Management through the UC Davis Graduate School of Management. He gained experience working in dental offices for a couple years before attending the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco. Upon earning his D.D.S. degree, Dr. Yuen also completed a General Practice Residency at the McClellan VA serving veterans. Dr. Yuen has a passion for learning and education and has tutored microbiology, physiology, pre-clinical dental technique, and most of all helped teach the anatomy course at UC Davis and in dental school at the graduate level. In order to continue staying up to date on the best techniques and materials to providing the best possible patient care, he takes hundreds of hours of Continuing Education courses each year. He has been on several overseas dental missions trips and volunteers whenever he can in community service events. Dr. Yuen strives to provide gentle, comprehensive care for patients to make them comfortable in the dental office and to treat them like family.
