Dr. Ahlfeld came to San Francisco in 1973. He grew up in Florida and earned his Doctorate of Dental Surgery in 1968 from the University of Maryland, the nation’s first dental school. After practicing General Dentistry in the United States Army and privately for several years he realized that treating children was his calling. After two years of additional study at the University of California, San Francisco, graduated with a Certificate in Pediatric Dentistry in 1978.
Dr. Ahlfeld practiced privately until 1983, when he began teaching Pediatric Dentistry full-time at the University of the Pacific, School of Dentistry in San Francisco. As a Professor, he was active in promoting dental and other health initiatives in San Francisco. He retired as an Associate Professor in 1998. In that same year, Dr. Ahlfeld joined his long-time friend, Dr. Raymond Katz in private practice in San Francisco.
Besides his forty+ years of practicing and teaching Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Ahlfeld has pursued his long time interests in sports (Go Giants!) and photography and still has his first camera, a 1950 Brownie Bullet.
Dr. Ahlfeld is now enjoying watching his family grow and flourish in the Bay Area and spends much of his free time with his wife, daughter and two young grandsons, shuttling between the Bay Area and a second home near Mount Shasta.

Dr. Miyon Young lives in San Mateo. She has two little children of her own, a boy and a girl. They help her understand on a deeper level not only her pediatric patients, but her patients' parents as well.

Dr. Young enjoys her time with her children and volunteers at their school on the days she is not in the office.
