Meet Dr. Melissa Hamel
Dr. Melissa Hamel was born in the Philippines and moved with her family to San Francisco at the age of 12. Early in high school, she developed a great interest in dentistry after being inspired by her family dentist who valued patient education, comfort, and quality care. She pursued this by getting accepted into the highly competitive six-year accelerated dental program at the University of the Pacific where she earned her undergraduate Bachelor’s degree in 2005 and Doctorate Dental degree in 2008. She was then accepted into the University of the Pacific’s postgraduate Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency program where she learned from San Francisco Bay Area’s renowned dental specialists.
Dr. Hamel is dedicated to continuous learning and staying at the forefront of dental advancements. She regularly attends professional courses and workshops to expand her knowledge and refine her techniques. This commitment to lifelong learning is driven by her desire to offer her patients the most advanced and effective treatments available.
