Dr. Erwin has practiced dentistry for over 37 years and is considered one of America’s foremost experts on rejuvenation dentistry. A 1967 graduate of the Loma Linda University College of Dentistry, he continued his post-graduate education with advanced residencies in Surgery, Implants, Aesthetics, Advanced Reconstruction, Head and Jaw Pain, and Nutrition at UCLA and USC, as well as Loma Linda. Dr. Erwin also holds a Masters of Science Degree in Biochemistry and Human Nutrition from Bridgeport University and has completed additional studies in Acupuncture, Trigger Point Therapy and other complementary Biological therapies. A former instructor of dentistry and basic sciences at both USC and Loma Linda, Dr. Erwin is currently a member of the American Dental Association, Academy of General Dentistry, California Dental Association, San Fernando Dental Society, International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine, Holistic Dental Association and the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology.
 Dr. Ali Sarvestani, a Certified Traditional Naturopath and Doctor of Chiropractic, is the newest member of our team. After earning his DC from the Southern California University of Health Sciences in Los Angeles, Dr. Ali worked Kinesiology at the CSU Northridge. There, he specialized in rehabilitating individuals suffering from spinal cord injuries, the effects of Stork, Multiple Sclerosis, and Parkinson's Disease, as well as those with neuromuscular skeletal disorders. Dr. Ali is certified in Functional Blood Chemistry and Functional Endocrinology to treat imbalances within the body through clinical nutrition and body detoxification. "My primary goal,” he says, “is the prevention or delay of the onset of chronic degenerative disease. I believe in using 'bio-identical' supplements to help slow the aging process."
Cheryl has been a part of Dr. Erwin’s team almost from the very start. In 1992, after sixteen years working in our exam rooms and lab, she moved to the front where she continues to run our office’s daily business. Thoroughly understanding all aspects of the practice, Cheryl takes great satisfaction in serving Dr. Erwin’s clientele and admires the doctor’s own tireless commitment in keeping up to date with biological dentistry’s latest developments and providing his patients with exceptional care.
Karina is a Bryman College graduate in Dental Assisting who has worked for Dr. Erwin since 2005. Though you’re most likely to see her assisting the doctor at chair-side, you may also see her at work in the front office or lab, as we are each part of a team committed to you and your health. Karina especially enjoys working with the wide variety of patients we see, from those seeking cosmetic dentistry to those having toxic dental materials replaced with biocompatible alternatives.
Lisette has been a part of Dr. Erwin’s team since 1998. She, too, is a Bryman graduate in Dental Assisting and works in all areas of our office. A lifelong learner, she regularly builds upon her skills and knowledge with further training, keeping up to date with the rapid changes in this field. She highly values the personal approach of Dr. Erwin and his commitment to practicing the most natural, least invasive type of dentistry possible.
Theresa is our Registered Dental Hygienist and Oral Health Educator. A graduate of USC, she has been a part of Dr. Erwin’s team from the very beginning. She takes great satisfaction in seeing patients holistically regain their health as she works with them, providing their regular hygiene and showing them how to take control of their total health through improved dental health. Theresa deeply admires Dr. Erwin’s commitment to treating the whole person and is proud to be a part of his practice’s mission.
