Dr. Kirsten Rittenbach brings us a depth of surgical skill and passion for patient care that was refined in the Bay Area. Receiving her B.A. in Chemistry from St. Olaf College, MN, she then completed her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS), Doctor of Medicine (MD) and oral surgery residency at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). With extensive training in the full scope of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Dr. Rittenbach’s clinical interests are dentoalveolar surgery (including implants and bone grafting), pathology, TMJ disorders, trauma, and women’s health issues particularly pertinent to oral health. In every surgery and consultation, patient safety and comfort are her priorities.
