CARE ESTHETICS MODESTO

I’ve been told that I have the sweetest, most pleasant patients. I wholeheartedly agree! Many of my patients have become my friends, and they are truly remarkable individuals. My workdays are kept interesting by serving a broad population and every member of the family, from toddlers to great-grandparents.

I aspire to be the type of dentist I would seek treatment from if I were a patient. By providing painless care customized to each individual’s goals and needs, I ensure that each individual has a positive experience and even greater results.

I began practicing dentistry in 2005, having been led to the subject by a passion for biology and science. I have always been so fascinated by how the human body functions, as well as the physics and engineering of dental materials and structures. I combine science and technical expertise with a desire to connect with my patients as a dentist.

There is a statement that goes, “You don’t know what you don’t know,” and I am aware that this is accurate. I am not the dentist I was upon graduation, and I recognize that I will improve as a dentist as I continue to expose myself to new ideas and technologies. I am dedicated to lifetime learning and am now pursuing a fellowship via the LVI Advanced Dental Esthetics and Neuromuscular Science. Additionally, I have finished the Sacramento Implant Continuum and am a member of a number of local study groups.

I was grew up in Idaho Falls, Idaho, and relocated to the Modesto area in 2007. My wife, Maryanne, and I have three boys, Ethan, Hugh, Warren, and a girl, Moira. When I’m not practicing, I always look forward to spending time with my family. We are active in our community’s 4-H programs and the Boy Scout Council. Additionally, I go camping for the weekend at least once a month—all year.

Dr. Woodruff in the Community

In 2015, I stepped down as a Valley Mountain Regional Center board member to spend more time with family. Being the father of a disabled child has been a blessing in my life. He has pushed me in areas that I would not have encountered on my own, and as a result, I have matured.

I am a believer that giving back to my community helps to strengthen it. Rather than simply being a consumer, I prefer to be a contributor. In addition to assisting programs that assist those with disabilities, I am also a:

• 4H Program Leader
• Boy Scout Unit Leader
• BSA Rio Del Oro District Chairman
• Executive Board Member for the local Boy Scout Council
• An active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
