Meet The Team

Why I like being a Dentist?

It definitely starts with the opportunity to serve my patients by helping them maintain and improve their daily oral health.  The chance to create healthy smiles and improve the quality of their lives is key. I love empowering my patients and giving them smiles they are proud of.

Dentistry also gives me the chance to be creative by using both my scientific and artistic talents. I love learning and working with new dental technologies and how it leads to the advancement of dentistry. I thoroughly enjoy implementing this for my patients.

In being a dentist I have the chance to be a leader in the community and to earn valued respect from family, friends and colleagues.

Kathy Dos brings 27 years dental experience to the Aloha Dental Group. She loves getting to know all of her patients and making them feel “at home” in her waiting room. Her motto is there is “no insurance claim” she won’t tackle! When not at the Aloha Dental Group office you can usually find her watching a sporting event, listening to music or escaping to a beach. Her greatest pleasure however, is being mom to Kevin and Kyle.
