Dr. Caroline Kacer
I was raised in Tucson, Arizona most of my life. I attended the University of Arizona and received my Bachelors in Science in the area of Physiology with a minor in chemistry. My pursuit to follow in my father’s footsteps as an oral surgeon led me to continue my career by attending dental school at Case Western Reserve University where I met my husband and bought my first real winter coat and boots. I had a passion of helping people and being part of a community that helps people smile. After finishing my DMD I attended Montefiore Medical Center in Bronx, NY to complete my residency in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. It was here that I gained my knowledge in facial trauma and specialty in wisdom teeth extraction and implants. During all the long hours in school I was still able to squeeze in some yoga classes and some amazing Broadway shows.

Dr. Paul Mirdamadi
I was raised just outside of the city of Toronto, in an area called Mississauga. Being fascinated with how the body and mind work, I completed my undergraduate studies in psychology at the University of Toronto and then a Master’s program in Kinesiology at York University. I continued my education track to becoming a dentist at the University of Southern California. After being exposed to all the different specialties, I quickly directed my attention to Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery. I was fortunate to be accepted into the highly competitive Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery residency program at Montefiore Medical Center in New York. This invaluable experience allowed me to refine my surgical skills and gain exposure to a wide range of complex cases. Throughout my residency, I worked closely with esteemed mentors, honing my expertise in dental implants, wisdom teeth extractions, facial trauma, reconstruction, and other specialized procedures. Now, as an oral surgery associate, I am excited to embark on the next chapter of my professional journey in Tucson, Arizona. I am committed to providing exceptional patient care, utilizing the latest advancements in oral surgery and staying up-to-date with the latest research and techniques to provide the highest standard of care to my patients. I am excited to contribute my skills and expertise to the field of oral surgery while making a positive impact on the lives of those I serve.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy staying active and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
I believe that physical fitness and personal well-being are essential for maintaining peak performance in both my personal and professional endeavors. I enjoy spending my extra time being physically active, working out, going to yoga classes, hikes, and biking adventures. Additionally, I am an avid traveler, always seeking new adventures and cultural experiences that broaden my perspective and inspire my work. I have attended multiple humanitarian mission trips to Mexico and Bangladesh where we have performed dozens of cleft lip and palate surgeries in underserved communities.

Born and raised in Western Washington, my family moved to Tucson in 2000. Shortly after moving to Arizona, I attended Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff. Still, I found myself back in Tucson after receiving my bachelor’s degree. At the time, I was bent on living in cold places and moved to Minnesota to get my degree in dental hygiene. I survived two Minnesota winters and came back to Tucson in 2010 with a new appreciation for the desert and ready to take the dental world by storm.
My dental hygiene experience includes periodontics and general dentistry. My favorite aspect of dentistry is the variety of people I meet. I enjoy spending time with friends and family in my downtime and trying local restaurants. I am looking forward to meeting you at DentalPros!
