ADVANCED DENTISTRY - Key Persons

A bay area native to the core, Dr. Khouri was born in San Jose and lived here with her parents and younger sister until the age of 18. After high school, she left to begin her undergraduate education at the University of California, Berkeley, where she graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Cell and Developmental Biology. While there, she also became heavily involved in the pre-dental organization on campus and continued developing her long-standing passion for dentistry. Dr. Khouri went on to get her Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of the Pacific in San Francisco, graduating with high honors in the summer of 2017. She was employed by Dr. Woodlief soon after and was fortunate enough to get the chance to work in an atmosphere that not only allows for clinical growth and excellence, but also promotes a positive relationship among the doctors, patients, and staff. Dr. Khouri understands that dentistry is a profession that serves the patient, and that it is essential to be up to date on the latest technologies and dental research in order to provide patients with the highest quality care-the care they deserve. Dr. Khouri looks forward to continuing to grow in the field in the environment Dr. Woodlief has created, as well as forming a close and trusting relationship with every patient that walks through the door. In her free time, Dr. Khouri enjoys reading, watching movies, playing the piano, working out, and game nights with family and friends. She also enjoys watching and playing sports, in particular, soccer and tennis.

A father and proud family man, Dr. Woodlief is compassionate and community-driven. Patients know him and his team as caring, respectful, and detail-oriented-down to the last tooth. "I was born in San Francisco and have lived in San Jose for more than 20 years. My family is extremely important to me, and I am very proud of them! My only son works for the Graduate School of Public Health at the University of Washington in Seattle, where he is pursuing his PhD. My older brother recently completed his bachelor's degree in geography. I am a dedicated uncle to my teenage niece and nephew, the children of my youngest sister and her husband. We all work hard, and when we vacation together every year, we like to play as hard as we work! I enjoy being active in my community and volunteer frequently at local elementary school health fairs to talk about good dental health. Previously, I was a staff member at Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford."
