Meet Our Doctors
Jeff McComb, DDS
Dr. Jeff McComb was born and raised in Merced, CA (Central Valley). He graduated from the University of the Pacific (UOP) School of Dentistry in 2007 and worked as an associate within a pediatric dental practice for 13 years before opening Explorer Kids Dental. Dr. McComb also served as Pediatrics Dental Director for two years in a group of over 40 doctors. He is committed to expanding his experience and knowledge by taking pediatric-focused education courses, and along with his wife, has led dental and medical mission trips to the Philippines since 2006.
He enjoys seeing kids relax when they see that visiting the dentist isn’t scary, but can actually be a lot of fun—that’s when transformation happens! Dr. McComb really loves seeing and catching up with families that he’s built a relationship with, it really feels like seeing a family friend or neighbor. Dr. McComb would love to develop this with every family that comes in to see him.
Dr. McComb’s amazing wife, Candy, is also a dentist, and they work together as a dental team—they actually met and fell in love in dental school, and have been on a dental journey for what will be 12 years in June of 2019.
Outside of the practice, Drs. Jeff and Candy love spending time with their 4 children (3 boys and 1 girl), going camping, playing sports, or barbecuing tasty food. The family is active in the faith community at Bridgeway Christian Church, and they hope to welcome you to the practice!
Candy McComb, DDS
Dr. Candy McComb was born and raised in the Philippines. She moved to California at the age of 20 to finish college at University of the Pacific, where she majored in Biology before she graduated as Valedictorian of her Dental School class in 2006. Dr. Candy then completed a one-year general practice residency at the VA in Palo Alto before she began working in pediatric dental offices, which she loves wholeheartedly.
Her favorite part of working with children is helping them enjoy their dental visits and giving them healthy smiles. She says, “It’s also very rewarding to see a nervous or scared child overcome their fears and build a trusting relationship.” She loves just being around kids and getting to know them and their families.
When she’s not helping children build confidence in their smiles, Dr. Candy loves to spend time with her family and watch her kids play sports; she also likes to travel when they have the opportunity. The whole family is involved in their church and travels together on their dental mission trips.
Drs. Candy and Jeff have been living in the Sacramento/Roseville area since getting married and love calling it home. Dr. Candy has worked in three pediatric dental practices over the last 11 years and is so excited to continue taking great care of kids in their own practice. They aim to be as involved in the community as possible and make everyone they treat feel like a part of the family.
Dr. Jeff McComb and Dr. Candy McComb are general dentists providing pediatric dental services.
Warren McWilliams, DDS
Dr McWilliams is a native Sacramentan. He attended Bella Vista High School. Received his Bachelors degree from University of California, Santa Barbara in 1982 and graduated from University of Southern California, School of Dentistry with a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree in 1986.
Dr. McWilliams had a private general dentistry practice in Carmichael for over twenty years and has since dedicated his entire practicing career to hospital based pediatrics. Dr McWilliams treats patients regularly in numerous local hospitals and surgery centers in the area for several pediatric dental practices. Dr McWilliams is the Surgery Center Medical Director for Kids Care Dental and Orthodontics, MEC Dental Director for Fort Sutter Surgery Center, Dental representative on the Outpatient Surgical Services committee at Kaiser South Sacramento and has been the chairman of the SDDS Task Force on General Anesthesia.
Dr. McWilliams currently resides in Fair Oaks with his wife Lynda. He enjoys golf, red wine, traveling, and is an avid sports fan.
Jeffrey P. Fisher, DDS
Dr. Jeffrey P. Fisher lives with his family in the Sierra Foothills just outside Sacramento, California.
Because he loves children, he has dedicated his anesthesia practice to providing anesthesia services primarily for young, fearful, or uncooperative pediatric patients. By providing anesthesia services for these extremely anxious children, he is able to shield them from the terrifying experience of being physically restrained during dental treatment, leaving them with an extremely negative memory of dentistry that can last a lifetime.
His goal is to provide quality anesthesia care to his patients, relieve any fear or discomfort, and help them achieve a positive experience during dental treatment.
