Meet Dr. Rodriguez

Dr. Maria B. Rodriguez was born and raised in Venezuela, where she obtained her general dentist degree in 2006 from the prestigious Central University of Venezuela. After practicing for two years, her passion for learning and desire to specialize propelled Dr. Rodriguez to start a three-year orthodontics residency, that then enabled her to obtain a Master’s degree in 2011 with honorable mention from the Central University of Venezuela.

She then continued to practice dentistry and orthodontics for five years, mainly in private practice, as well as working part-time as an ad-honorem faculty at the Oral Radiology Department of the Central University of Venezuela.

She moved to the United States and went to UCSF Dental school for two years to obtain her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree in 2016.
