Dr. Lynn Yamamoto graduated from Washington University in St. Louis in 1983. In 1984, she completed a general practice residency at Southern Illinois University, Alton, Illinois. She has completed mastery courses at Seattle Institute for Advanced Dental Education. Lynn purchased the practice from Dr. Larry Feist in 1985, and practiced solo until 1995, when Dr. Steven Lee joined. The two met on the Dental Health Committee for the Sacramento District Dental Society, and had done a Flying Doctors trip to provide dentistry to the village of Bacadehuachi, Mexico. On that trip they found that they had similar philosophies and values.
She is a fellow of the Academy of General Dentistry and a faculty mentor at the Scottsdale Center for Dentistry. She is a member of the American Dental Association, California Dental Association and Sacramento District Dental Society. Prior to dental school, Lynn worked as a researcher for the Statewide Pollution Research Center, and did independent biology research at University of California, Riverside.
Dr. Yamamoto returned to her native Sacramento, to enjoy the long, hot summers, which she loves. When not working, you can often find her dancing hula, knitting or reading. She shares her love of reading by volunteering with the Sacramento Public Libarary Adult Literacy Program. You can also find her seeking out and petting other peoples’ dogs, as she waits to adopt another furry companion.
