Dr. Capino was exposed to dentistry at the young age of 3, being babysat after school at her mother’s dental offices. At the age of 14, she found her passion for dentistry while volunteering at her autistic siblings’ special education schools. She noted that her siblings’ classmates were unable to find dental care due to their disability and/or medical condition(s), which inspired her to bridge the gap between the dental and disabled communities. She earned her Doctorate in Dental Surgery from University of California, Los Angeles in 2022, where she founded and served as president of the UCLA Special Patient Care Club. Her mission in creating this club was to increase interactions between future dental care providers and self-advocates in hopes of encouraging more dentists to provide care for this underserved demographic. After dental school, she completed a General Practice Residency at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center in Downey, CA, which enabled her to focus on the disabled community. Dr. Capino is an active advocate for those with disabilities and is dedicated to ensuring that her patients are provided with the utmost quality of care.
