My name is Christopher Ivanoff, DDS. I am a Los Angeles native and I pursued my education at UC San Diego and then at University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry. When I am not practicing dentistry, I love to surf and immerse myself in the great outdoors. Outside of the office you can likely find me in the water at Ocean Beach. I feel fortunate to be a part of a team filled with dedicated and talented individuals, and I am committed to providing compassionate care and helping you maintain your dental health for a lifetime of smiles.
My name is Erin Tracey, the office operations manager of Mount Tam Dental Care. I have known and worked with the owner, Dr. Darren Wong, for three years now. I have worked in the dental field for about nine years. In the past I did front office duties as a scheduling coordinator and insurance/treatment coordinator. Within my nine years of working in this field I mainly focused my skills as a dental assistant for most of the years. Now I do all of these things for this incredible office as the office operations manager. I focus on giving our patients nothing but the utmost best quality of care with five-star customer service experiences. I am from Oklahoma and outside of the office I love to spend time with my family and connect with nature.
Hello my name is Anabel, your exceptional dental office receptionist here at Mount Tam Dental Care. With over five years of experience in the dental field, I excel at managing appointments and ensuring our office runs smoothly. I am the friendly face you’ll see when you walk in through the doors and the reassuring voice on the other end of the phone. I am committed to providing an outstanding patient experience and I am always ready to assist with any questions or concerns.
Hello, my name is Dr. Darren Wong. I was born and raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, where my family is 4th generation. When I’m not fixing people’s smiles, I enjoy surfing, cooking, making sushi and doing yoga.
I attended the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where I earned my degree in business with a major in finance. During my time at UH Manoa, I became extremely interested in investment and bond trading, and I worked for five years as an assistant bond trader at Hawaiian Trust Company and Bank of Hawaii.
After my time in the investment field, I decided to pursue a career in the medical or dental field and returned to school to complete my prerequisites. I attended the University of California, San Francisco, and graduated with my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 2001.
I have been working as a general family dentist for over 23 years—first as an associate, then as a private practice owner. I love the art of dentistry and the fact that I can make a difference in someone’s life by maintaining and improving their smile and overall oral health. I am committed to my ongoing development and education and understand that there is always something new to learn. I am proficient in general family dentistry, including implant surgery, orthodontic Invisalign treatments, sleep apnea dental appliances, and now aesthetic and therapeutic Botox and dermal fillers.
I have been so lucky to have such a great support system in my wife, Dr. Amanda Wilson, an orthodontist who grew up in the East Bay of Northern California. She was my classmate at UCSF, and we graduated together in 2001. We have two lovely children: Evan (18) and Olivia (15). Both were born and raised in Hawaii and attend ‘Iolani School. Taking after their dad, both are water sports enthusiasts and love to swim, surf and hang out at the beach. Evan and Olivia are also accomplished swimmers, having earned both state and national recognition, as well as state championships. Evan recently graduated as one of the valedictorians at ‘Iolani School in June 2024 and is taking a gap year to pursue his dreams of swimming in the 2028 Olympics in Los Angeles while studying at MIT. Olivia is a sophomore in 10th grade and is enjoying being a teenager with a demanding swim practice and school schedule. She is super excited to get her driver’s license in March 2025.
I am so grateful for the opportunity that Dr. Holly Downes has given me. I look forward to continuing to care for both new and returning patients in Mill Valley, just as she has done for the past 40 years. I will do my very best to meet all of your dental needs for many years to come and hope to expand this practice into one brimming with the aloha spirit. Welcome to our Ohana.
I look forward to meeting all of you soon.
With Warm Aloha,
Dr. Darren Wong
