Originally from Orlando, FL, I graduated from the University of Florida College of Dentistry in 2010 and went on to complete a one-year advanced dentistry program at the VA Medical Center in Birmingham, AL. I then returned to Orlando and practiced as an “exodontist” (tooth extraction dentist) at a community clinic in Orlando, FL while growing my own emergency-based dental practice focusing on extractions and IV sedation. After the birth of my son in 2019, my wife and I decided to move to San Diego for a change of scenery and to spend more time outdoors. I now divide my time between my office in Orlando, FL and Dr. Zak Dental Clinics in San Diego, CA. I devote at least 100 hours per year to continuing education focused on oral surgery and the safe administration of IV conscious sedation. I am a firm believer in the Golden Rule and strive to treat all patients with understanding and compassion.

I really don’t know the importance of going to the dentist, since I only know about cleaning. Through a virtual appointment, Dr. Maysam explains how the teeth deteriorate and how to save them, while Kenna gave detailed insurance coverage. It’s scary to have this work done, but I will be responsible for my teeth from now.
From check-in to check-out everything went ok. This place uses modern technology from consent, x-rays and equipment. Savanna was nice and helpful and everyone’s favorite was Dr. Olsen, he’s a Superhero doctor.
Great experience! Staff was kind and attentive. I have been getting my teeth cleaned with Lucia for a long time now and she never disappoints. Apart from her great attitude and professionalism, she leaves my teeth looking and feeling amazing! Thank you very much for that!
My experience at Dr. Zak Downey Dental was spectacular! Dr. Nadia and her assistant Cielo filled in a gap I had in my right front tooth and my smile has never looked better. I left the office feeling well cared for and satisfied with my overall visit.
Extremely friendly staff! Painless experiences with all types of dental care. I especially love the sturdy new chairs in the lobby
