Dr. Toshi Hart is a private practice dentist in Stanislaus County. Since immigrating to San Francisco at the age of 4 and being a beneficiary of public health services herself, she has held public health and service close to her heart. Two years after graduating from the University of the Pacific School of Dentistry (with honors) she became the founding director of the Alliance Dental Clinic in Healdsburg, CA – a position she held for seven years. The Alliance Dental Clinic served a primarily migrant farmworker population and their families. One year following the opening of the dental clinic, she was awarded Department of Health & Human Services Regional Dentist of the Year. For many years Dr. Hart has been active with the Stanislaus Dental Society and the California Dental Association’s Cares program. Annually she provides oral health education and screenings in the Modesto City and Stanislaus County schools. She enjoys classical music and golf and is inspired when she hears children say they want to be dentists when they grow up.
