Dr. Rita was born and raised as a first-generation Lebanese American in Los Angeles, California. As a young teen interested in a career in healthcare, she was determined to become a dentist after shadowing her cousin in Lebanon during a day in dental school. Drawn to the combination of art, science, and compassion, Dr. Rita knew that dentistry was her calling.
Since then, she has made the most of her academic career. She has received recognitions including the Presidential Scholarship at the University of Redlands and multiple Dean’s List awards at the University of Southern California School of Dentistry. She has a servant’s heart and has helped organize mobile dental clinics for underserved communities in California, Mexico, Panama, and Thailand. In her spare time, Dr. Rita enjoys ballet, eating at new restaurants around town, and traveling abroad.
She strives to deliver excellence in technique and patient care. “I hope to enhance how you approach your oral health while making you smile during our time together.”
