Welcome Cecilia Serrato DMD!

Aloha ‘Ohana!

We would like to welcome Cecilia Serrato, DMD to our Ko’olauloa Health Center family.

Cecilia grew up in Salt Lake City, Utah where she completed a bachelor's degree in Human Development and Family Studies, with a minor in Pediatric Clinical Research, both from the University of Utah.

She then attended dental school at Roseman University of Health Science where her passion grew deeper for the blend of art and science found in dentistry. During her training at Roseman University of Health Sciences, she trained as a general dentist in diagnostic, preventive, and operative dentistry, as well as pediatric dentistry, periodontics, prosthodontics, endodontics, and oral surgery.



Cecilia’s inspiration to become a dentist came after she had her mouth rehabbed as a young adult. The lack of access to dental care in her childhood led to the need for significant dental work. The rehabilitation of Cecilia’s mouth had an incredibly positive effect on her life, and from that moment on she wanted to be able to make the same difference for others.



Cecilia’s goal is to provide high-quality, compassionate, and caring dental treatment, based on a patient-centered care approach that will empower patients to maintain good oral health. “I have trained to provide a comprehensive range of dental services and look forward to providing complete care for pediatric and adult patients and preventing unnecessary dental pain”. 



Besides Cecilia’s passion for dentistry, she is passionate about spending time with her family and two dogs, Aurora and Mila. Cecilia also enjoys hikes, gardening, and trying new foods. “I am beyond excited to be in Hawaii and look forward to learning and trying new things”.

Welcome to the KHC family Cecilia!
