Dr Oki’s philosophy: to provide compassion as well as quality dentistry appropriate for the elderly population.

A Graduate of OHSU School of Dentistry in 1994, Dr. Oki has been with GDG for many years.

A graduate of Southern Illinois University Dental School in 1996, Dr. Shakiba has worked mainly in community and nonprofit clinics. His goal is to contribute to the world in positive manner, " I am honored to be at GDG working with such a distinguished and compassionate staff that is dedicated to treating the underserved geriatrics and non ambulatory patients. "

Before moving to Washington State in April 2007, Dr. Mike Janich, a native California surfer and a graduate of University of Southern California Dental School in 1984, had been working in a non-profit children’s dental clinic after retiring from over 20 years of private practice in 2005.

"Helping people is what life’s all about and it’s a privelage to be part of the team at the Geriatric Dental Group to provide dental care for our well-deserved patients who might otherwise not be able to afford it."

In his spare time, Dr. Mike enjoys hanging out with his wife, Laura, in their log home in Enumclaw, and sitting out on the porch and playing guitar for their two dogs...and also flying to California or Mexico to catch an occasional perfect wave.

Dr. Miki, as she likes to be called, grew up in the South Seattle/Renton area. Graduating from Renton High School in 1993, she volunteered at Seattle Keiro Nursing Home and Harborview Medical Center. Dr, Miki went to Duke University in Durham, North Carolina and received a Bachelor’s of Science degree in Psychology with a minor in Japanese and Chemistry in 1997. She then attended Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, graduating with a DMD (Doctor of Dental Medicine) in 2004. With more people living longer, her main focus is on preventative dentistry. Her interests include esthetic dentistry, composite restorations, fixed and removable prosthodontics such as crown and bridge work and dentures.

Dr. Miki enjoys spending her free time with her newborn daughter and husband, who is also a dentist, as well as her little Yorkshire terrier, Scrappy.

Dr. Parastu Mirmonsef graduated from Virginia Commonwealth’s School of Dentistry with a DDS in 2003. She and her husband have their own private practice in Gig Harbor, Washington, Sound Choice Family Dental.
