A. Gavin McClure, DDS
Fast forward to the present day and I still really enjoy problem-solving and fixing things, both prerequisites for the technical side of dental practice. In 1985 I graduated from UC San Diego with a degree in Biochemistry and Cell Biology and then in 1990 matriculated with honors from the UC San Francisco School of Dentistry. For the next four years, I worked in public health at the Sacramento Urban Indian Health Project while maintaining a part-time associate position in a private practice in Davis, California. In 1994, suffering from one too many sweltering Sacramento summers and topographical boredom, I relocated to beautiful Santa Cruz. Married and with a grown son, I count my blessings daily that I am able to work where I live in this beautiful place with clean air, a dynamic downtown, and an interesting, ever-evolving community.
My practice philosophy revolves around attentiveness to the needs of our patients. From this understanding develops the foundation for the trust and confidence necessary to provide service with integrity and satisfaction. I am committed to lifelong professional education and application of sound science to bring the best that modern dentistry has to offer to my daily clinical practice. I am a member of the American Dental Association (ADA), California Dental Association (CDA), Monterey Bay Dental Society (MBDS), and the Academy of General Dentistry (AGD).

Ruth

I am married with three grown children and four grandchildren. My time is divided between my career as a Registered Dental Hygienist and my passion as a fine artist. When I am not working on painting, I love to snowboard, hike, and backpack with my husband. To see examples of my art go to: ruthcarrollfineartist.com
