Mommy Dentists in Business

Dr. Rhinelle Hirose's journey from humble beginnings in Oahu, Hawaii, is nothing short of inspiring. Raised in a single parent household with limited resources, she navigated public schools and community college, earning a scholarship to Hawaii Pacific University where she completed her bachelor's degree. She then graduated from the OHSU School of Dentistry in Portland, Oregon, in 2010.

Returning to her roots in Hawaii, Dr. Hirose dedicated four years to pediatric dentistry on the neighbor islands before transitioning back to general dentistry.

Dr. Hirose's professional trajectory includes diverse experiences in corporate, group, and private practices. Eventually, she took the bold step of purchasing her own practice, marking a remarkable chapter in her fulfilling career.
