Dr. Shiao’s close ties to family back in Taiwan have helped him retain his native languages of Mandarin Chinese and Taiwanese.

A year before his marriage to Dr. Janice Liao, Dr. Shiao moved to California, where his parents had settled after living in Texas. He fell in love with the Tri-Valley area and decided that Dublin was where he hoped to live, work, and raise a family.
In 2007, Dr. Shiao was appointed as a part-time faculty member at the University of the Pacific Dental School Graduate Clinic at Union City.
