Meet Jaclyn Pak, DDS

Dr. Jaclyn Pak is a Sacramento-area native, raised nearby in Fair Oaks. She attended Mira Loma High School prior to heading to sunny UC San Diego where she obtained her Bachelors of Science degree in Physiology/Neuroscience. Dr. Pak then headed to Los Angeles where she received her Doctor of Dental Surgery and Masters of Science in Oral Biology degrees at UCLA School of Dentistry. She was active in both academic and social extracurricular activities. She spent many years conducting systematic review research on endodontic outcomes which led to multiple scientific paper publications in peer-reviewed journals. When she was not in the research lab, Dr. Pak enjoyed serving as ASB social chair to organize events for the dental student body. Dr. Pak’s adventurous spirit and desire to keep learning led her to Honolulu, Hawai’i where she spent an additional year of training and completed a General Practice Residency at The Queen’s Medical Center. Here, she received one on one training with various dental and hospital specialists, giving her experience with working on the sickest of patients often times in emergency situations or in preparation for major surgeries.

As she had always hoped for, Dr. Pak returned to California following the completion of her training. She worked in private practice for 2 years in the Sacramento area prior to working in public health for 3 years in rural northern California. Dr. Pak and her husband, Nathan, finally settled down in Granite Bay where they reside with their 2 boys, Caleb and Noah. She has a large support network in Placer County, as her father, siblings, nieces and nephews, and many of her aunts and uncles reside in the area.

When she is not in the dental office, Dr. Pak enjoys spending time with her family. She is passionate about cultivating relationships in life and sharing her love of traveling, cooking, and the outdoors.
