Dr. Roony, a dynamic pediatric dentist, hails from the Bay Area and boasts an impressive range of accolades. Graduating as valedictorian from high school, he pursued a degree in general biology at UC San Diego before commencing work as a pharmaceutical consultant. His passion for dentistry led him to attend Tufts University School of Dental Medicine, and later to complete an Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD) residency at the University of Connecticut (UConn). During his residency, he specialized in providing dental care to a large special needs population in the greater CT area. Dr. Roony then completed his pediatric residency at Case Western in Cleveland, OH. He now resides in San Luis Obispo and works for two practices owned by a non-profit.

In undergrad, Dr. Roony was a College Bound academic counselor for a caseload of 150 students and then spent a year working in the biotech industry where he edited and sorted through hundreds of resumes and job applications everyday.
