Dr. David Cartago has over 25 years of experience as a dentist. He graduated from Centro Escolar University Dental School in the Philippines and was a dental professor at the same university for a full decade. There, he was a tenured Professor in Dental Materials and Restorative Dentistry, was a Clinical Instructor, and also took lead in the university’s dental mission projects – where him and his students travelled to different parts of the country to administer dental care to the poor. After his stint in the academic world, he continued his studies at the University of California in Los Angeles Dental School. There, he focused on both restorative dentistry and also completed a continuum on performing the more extensive root canal treatments. Dr. Cartago is known to have the most gentle touch (just read the dozens of his online reviews!) and prides himself on the painless dentistry that so many of his patients are happy to receive. However, his true passion is in the kitchen. He loves to cook cuisine from all parts of the world and couples that passion with world travel. At home, he enjoys hanging out with his two sons, Ryder and Taylor, and working on his fitness with his wife and business partner, Charmaine.

Charmaine M. Kennedy, JD
Founding Partner
Charmaine is often referred to as Dr. C’s right hand woman. They are life and business partners. Her previous business experience and extensive academic background shapes much of the company’s current principles and protocols. At the practice, she is responsible for growth and expansion, patient retention, hiring staff and making sure that the office stays solvent, amidst at times, a challenging environment for small businesses. Charmaine spent a portion of her undergraduate studies at the prestigious Oxford University. She went on to earn a double bachelors degree in Politics and Philosophy from the University of San Francisco. After college, she earned a law degree from the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) Hastings School of Law. During that time, she was also a visiting student at Universite de Roma, Italy, where she completed courses in International Business Law. Her true passion, however, is being a mother and raising her two smart and vibrant little boys – Ryder & Taylor – and teaching them the values inherent in maximizing personal potential, holding compassion and showing gratitude - a combination, that she believes, leads to a balanced, healthy life.

Shelly K. Baraceros, MA
Managing Partner
Shelly runs the internal operations for Perfect Smiles Family
Dentistry. She is responsible for overseeing the day to day
operations for all of the practices and focuses much of her time
drumming up new ways to streamline and digitize the company’s
operations. Shelly is also primarily responsible for overseeing
the company’s finances and her Masters in Math from Stanford
University has proven to be helpful in that regard. She is also
the Marketing guru and she is responsible for the aesthetics
placed onto the website, magazine ads, postcards and even TV
commercials. However, finance, management and creativity is not
her only talent. Because teaching is her true profession, she is
responsible for training new staff members on policies and
office protocols.
Shelly spent two years as an
undergraduate student at the University of California at Davis
studying biology. She eventually earned her bachelor’s degree at
the University of San Francisco. Immediately after graduation,
she applied, and was admitted to several prestigious Masters
programs across the nation, including NYU, Cornell University
and UCLA. She eventually accepted Stanford University’s offer
for admission and earned a Masters Degree in 2000. Before going
into business with Charmaine (her sister), Shelly spent the
first few years of her professional life teaching Math at inner
city schools in Washington D.C., Maryland, Virginia and the Bay
Area.
Shelly is married to Captain Rey Baraceros of the
U.S. Army and they have three bright and athletic children –
Jeslyn, Emily and Bryson Kennedy.
