Dr. Camilo Riano

Camilo Riano, DDS
Dr. Riano comes to us from Bogotá, Colombia. He received his DDS degree from the Universidad Javeriana in June 1991. The Colombian government requires a one-year internship in a community hospital or a six-month internship in an isolated region of the country. These areas are poor and lack access to technology and proper materials or instruments. He did his government required six-month internship in a small town fifty miles south of Bogotá. After the internship, the Jesuit school’s faculty selected Camilo to work on a one year research project to establish the first genetic map of the indigenous populations of Colombia, mostly in the jungles of Colombia.
In 1996, Camilo earned his MS in orthodontics from the Universidad Militar in Bogotá and then started a private orthodontics practice. While in private practice, he taught genetics at the Universidad Javeriana, was an assistant professor in the orthodontic diagnosis clinic, taught clinical photography, and …authored two chapters in a book called America Negra, published by Universidad Javeriana. In June 2003 Camilo received his second D.D.S degree from the University of the Pacific in San Francisco through the International Dental Studies (IDS) program where he learned and shared experiences with 13 other students from a variety of countries.
Curently Camilo works in his own orthodontic practice in San Francisco 3 days a week, the rest of the time he associates in other offices in the Bay area as an in-house orthodontist.
