The doctors of
Pediatric Dental Specialists—Drs. Cortez, Planells and Sanchez—are actively involved in many community-service activities, charitable organizations and child advocacy endeavors because they believe strongly in giving back. Living out of the philosophy, “From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded; and from the one who has been entrusted with much, much more will be asked.”
The doctors go to great lengths to ensure that their specialty is being used to the fullest to educate, advocate and care for all children in our community. They also participate in dental missions around the world, serving children in need. During their entire careers they have and continue to donate many clinical hours each year volunteering at dental clinics, mobile dental clinics, special events and dental missions.
Some of the education aspects of their service include being advisers to the Children’s Dental Health Clinic, Head Start Program and the Stramski Center. Lecturing at USC and UCLA schools of dentistry and many dental organizations are part of their dedication to mentoring and caring for the profession.
The doctors are very involved in their professional organizations, spending many hours as leaders working to inform our lawmakers of the condition of oral health care in our children and to promote change.
Not only are our doctors involved but they encourage and inspire
their staff to reach out wherever possible to do the same.
