About Jamie M. Paychev, DDS

Ever since graduating from Saint Francis High School, I knew I wanted to dedicate my life to improving the health of others in a way that is personable, technical, and artistic. Dentistry quickly became my passion and then my career. I graduated from University of California, Santa Barbara, where I earned my Bachelor of Science in biological sciences while enjoying the sunshine playing beach volleyball. I joined the United States Army Reserve in 2012 and commissioned following college graduation into the Army Medical Corps. Then it was off to dental school. I attended the University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco and earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery with honors and an award for clinical excellence. In college, I led mission trips to Jamaica with 50 classmates and faculty, was editor-in-chief of the CDA Pacific newsletter, and served on the board of the U.O.P. Aesthetics Club. I am blessed to be returning to my family’s dental practice to share my enthusiasm and knowledge with the community I grew up with. My family found a dental home at McKenna Family Dentistry. It has shaped my understanding of what a dental office experience should be like. While providing the highest quality of patient care, I also love that we offer therapy dogs for patients to help lighten the spirits in the office. When not at the office, I spend my time on adventures with my two Goldendoodles and playing and coaching volleyball. I also serve as a member of the American Dental Association®, California Dental Association, Mid-Peninsula Dental Society, and the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry.
