Meet Dr. Andrea Aduna
Born in Marin and raised among the rolling hills of Sonoma County, Dr. Andrea Aduna's journey to pediatric dentistry began with a simple yet profound experience - volunteering at a children's physical therapy clinic in Santa Rosa. It was here that she first discovered her calling: helping children thrive through healthcare.
Dr. Andrea's academic journey reflects her commitment to excellence and holistic patient care. At Bowdoin College in Maine, she uniquely combined Biology and Visual Arts degrees, developing both the scientific precision and creative approach that distinguishes her practice today.
At the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, Dr. Andrea distinguished herself through her dedication to pediatric-focused public health initiatives, graduating with Honors in Community Oral Health.
In 2019, Dr. Andrea returned to her Bay Area roots, bringing with her a wealth of specialized knowledge and experience. She founded Poppy Kids Pediatric Dentistry in 2022, creating a practice that reflects her vision of comprehensive, compassionate pediatric dental care.
