Dr. Adam Pakman

Dr. Pakman is committed to delivering personalized, compassionate care centered on trust, communication, and clinical excellence. He believes exceptional dentistry begins by building genuine relationships and ensuring every patient feels heard, respected, and confident throughout their experience.

Originally from the San Francisco Bay Area, Dr. Pakman was raised in a diverse community that fostered his appreciation for different cultures and meaningful human connection. Those experiences continue to shape the way he practices today. Fluent in English, Spanish, and Russian, he enjoys connecting with patients in their preferred language, helping create a comfortable and welcoming environment for individuals and families from all backgrounds.

Dr. Pakman earned his Bachelor of Science in Biological Sciences with a concentration in Physiology from California State University, East Bay before receiving his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree from the Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco, California. During his dental education, he developed a patient-centered philosophy rooted in empathy, integrity, and evidence-based care.

Long before becoming a dentist, Dr. Pakman spent nine years competing in gymnastics and five years playing competitive water polo. These experiences taught him the value of discipline, resilience, leadership, accountability, and teamwork—principles that continue to guide both his clinical practice and his commitment to continual growth.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Pakman enjoys traveling, spending time outdoors, staying active, and exploring new cultures. He believes that experiencing new places and meeting new people broadens perspective and strengthens his ability to care for patients from all walks of life.

For Dr. Pakman, dentistry is about far more than treating teeth. It is about improving quality of life, restoring confidence, and helping patients achieve healthy, beautiful smiles they are proud to share.
