Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry
Dr. Joseph Shilkofski
Dr. Joe, as he prefers to be called, began his academic journey on the East Coast, earning his undergraduate degree from the University of Vermont and his doctorate from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine. He later continued his training on the West Coast, completing an Advanced Endodontics residency at the Herman Ostrow School of Dentistry of the University of Southern California. Now serving as our endodontic specialist, Dr. Joe focuses on providing expert root canal therapy and microsurgical endodontic care with precision, compassion, and attention to detail.

He is also an active member of the American Dental Association (ADA), California Dental Association (CDA), and Orange County Dental Society (OCDS), American Association of Endodontists (AAE), reflecting his dedication to advancing the field and maintaining the highest standard of care. His decision to pursue dentistry—and eventually specialize in endodontics—stems from his lifelong love of working with his hands and creating with purpose. “I guess I just like anything where I can work with my hands to express myself,” he says. Whether it’s tinkering on motorcycles, building furniture, or welding, Dr. Joe enjoys bringing ideas to life and takes pride in the details of every project. When he isn’t in the operatory or the garage, you’ll find him spending time with his wife and kids outdoors—dirt biking, snowboarding, surfing, or exploring new trails together.
