Meet Dr. Navarro

Alejandra Navarro, D.D.S., M.S.
Orthodontist
Dr. Navarro grew up hearing from her father, also an orthodontist, about the satisfaction he received from creating beautiful smiles in her hometown of Guadalajara, Mexico, where Dr. Navarro also initially practiced as an orthodontist. Dr. Navarro fell in love with the Bay Area while completing an Orthodontics Fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). Following her appointment as Adjunct Instructor at the UCSF Department of Orthodontics, Dr. Navarro chose to pursue full United States licensure, and completed a DDS, an orthodontics residency, and a Master of Science in Oral and Craniofacial Science at UCSF.

Prior to her UCSF training, Dr. Navarro had also completed a DDS, an orthodontics residency, and a Master of Science Degree in Oral Biology, all at the University of Guadalajara. In other words, Dr. Navarro is an orthodontist "twice trained!"
