Patricia Ramos was born and raised in Southern California. She migrated north to study at Pacific Union College, where she earned her Bachelors of Science in Biology. Although she loved the Bay Area she decided to move back to Southern California where she studied at Loma Linda University and earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 2008.

Dr. Patty had a difficult time with the dentist as a child after experiencing a traumatic procedure. However, her family was blessed to have found a very patient and gentle dentist early on that helped her overcome her fears. Her experience sparked an interest in anesthesiology. It seemed the perfect fit to provide this service for fearful patients of all ages and help them avoid being traumatized as she had been. She finished a hospital based residency in Dental Anesthesia at Loma Linda University in 2012 and is a Diplomat of the American Dental Board of Anesthesiology. She moved back to Northern California in 2012 and practices as a mobile anesthesiologist in offices all over the Bay and surrounding areas.

Dr. Patty is extremely gentle, patient, and kind with all her patients. She loves her work and her experience uniquely qualifies her to empathize with patients who require sedation or general anesthesia for their dental procedures.

She is an active member of:

• American Dental Association
• California Dental Association
• Southern Alameda Dental Society

When she’s not caring for patients she enjoys spending time with her family, eating, cooking, and traveling.
