Our Doctors
Dr. Carlos Mohamed
Dr. Carlos Mohamed is proud to be a native Texan! Born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley, Dr. Mohamed’s roots run deep in our community. He is a graduate from both Our Lady of Sorrows and Memorial High School. After graduating from Memorial, Dr. Mohamed attended the prestigious Trinity University in San Antonio where he met his now lovely wife, Paulina (little did he know, marrying Paulina would not only bring him three wonderful children, but the BEST office manager EVER!).
Continuing his San Antonio educational pursuits, Dr. Mohamed earned both his doctorate degree and certificate in pediatric dentistry from the University of Texas Health Science Center in San Antonio. As if graduating cum laude with a distinction in research was not enough, he voluntarily completed a Master’s in Public Health focusing his research on ensuring adequate access to care for underserved Texas communities.
In his free time, Dr. Mohamed enjoys spending time with his family. He is a self-proclaimed South Texas Pitmaster and if you’re lucky, he may share some of his delicious BBQ that he often makes for his staff as a token of appreciation for their hard work.
Dr. Patricia Becerra
After practicing as a general dentist for seven years, Dr. Becerra discovered her passion for working with children, leading her to further specialize in pediatric dentistry. She completed her pediatric dental residency at the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio.
Outside of her professional life, Dr. Becerra cherishes spending quality time with her husband and their two daughters. She also enjoys traveling and creating lasting family memories.
Dr. Daniela Pinto
Soon after graduating, Dr. Pinto married her high school sweetheart Ricardo Moreno. In her free time, she enjoys quality time with family, discovering new restaurants, and walks with her dog Nico.
