Dr. Garrett King was born in Santa Monica and raised in Malibu, California until moving to San Diego for college. He attended UC San Diego, where he obtained his B.A. in Philosophy while playing for the men’s soccer team. Following graduation, Dr. King studied dentistry at UCLA where he received his D.D.S., graduating magna cum laude and as a member of the Omicron Kappa Upsilon dental honor society. At that time, he decided to complete a postgraduate residency in general dentistry at the VA Healthcare System in Long Beach, California.

Upon completion of his residency, Dr. King sought out a practice with which his personal philosphy aligned. In his search he was introduced to Dr. Carey Penrod, in whom he found a friend and mentor. Since then Dr. King has been enjoying his work in private practice, providing personalized and high quality dental care to anyone who seeks his services, shirking a one-size-fits-all approach for one more attentive. In his free time, Dr. King enjoys spending time with his partner Sará and daughter Dahlia, being with friends, traveling, surfing, reading and exploring art.
