Meet Us
Kevin J. Snaer, D.D.S.
Throughout my career, I have enjoyed providing positive experiences for my patients so that they can grow into adults who have positive attitudes about dental care. I appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with parents to meet their goals for their child’s dental health. Preventing serious dental problems in very young children allows us to avoid difficult treatment situations, so that we can simply enjoy fun visits.
My father started the practice in 1960. As a teenager, I began working at the front desk on Saturdays and school vacations. I saw how my dad loved pediatric dentistry. I felt happy to be a part of it, and it was then that I committed myself to this profession. After my time at USC (college, dental school, and pediatric residency), my position in the office changed from receptionist to dentist. I had the great pleasure of working with my dad until he retired in 2010. I have lived in this community my whole life, so it is personally rewarding for me to continue the tradition of this practice.
To be recognized as a specialist in pediatric dentistry, a certification from a two year residency program is required. However, board certification is elective. Only those who are truly committed to maintaining the highest level of continuing education are able to become a Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry. As a Diplomate, I know that my patients benefit from the highest standard of pediatric care.
My kind, beautiful, and talented wife Shannon is on hiatus from her career as a first grade teacher, so that she can devote her time to caring for our four wonderful children.
Gary Liu, D.M.D.
Dr. Gary is a board-certified pediatric dentist who is known for his friendly, light-hearted personality. He earned his dental degree from Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California in 2018, and completed his pediatric residency from the prestigious University of Southern California (USC) in 2020.
His expertise in treating patients who require nitrous oxide sedation or general anesthesia is a valuable asset to our group. These skills provide safe, effective and humane care for very young children as well as those with special healthcare needs.
Prior to finding his true calling as a pediatric dentist, Dr. Gary submerged himself in marine biology, getting his Bachelor of Sciences at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) and his Master of Sciences at the California State University, Los Angeles (CSULA).
His love for nature and the environment allowed him to explore the Pacific Coast, which eventually paved the way to finding his true love: helping children achieve health and confidence through pediatric dentistry.
Dr. Gary’s approach to pediatric dentistry is conservative and preventative in nature—he focuses on children and parents’ needs by cultivating comfort, trust, and confidence in a safe environment.
He strives to make each visit enjoyable, fun, informative, and personal for each patient’s unique needs, and his goal is to create a positive dental experience at each visit.
Dr. Gary loves getting involved in the community through education, social media, and volunteer work at the Special Olympics. His hope is that children’s triumphs and successes in the dental office can translate to triumphs and successes in their personal lives, too.
Dr. Gary loves learning about science, technology, and quirky facts. In his free time, he collects Pokémon cards, mountain bikes, and maintains Yelp Elite status by being adventurous with his appetite.
He currently lives in Los Angeles, and enjoys his bohemian chic residence decorated by his lovely wife. He looks forward to meeting all the wonderful families of his patients.
