Dr. Raj Ukani and Dr. Melody Chang

Dr. Raj Ukani is proud to have grown up right here in San Diego, where his passion for dentistry was first sparked by his orthodontist during childhood. Those memorable visits, filled with kindness and care, inspired him to create the same welcoming experience for his own patients. After graduating from Rancho Bernardo High School, Dr. Ukani earned his Bachelor’s degree in Biochemistry from UCLA and completed his dental training at the University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry. With three years of experience and affiliations with the ADA, CDA, and SDCDS, he is dedicated to creating a comfortable, low-pressure environment where patients feel valued and cared for. Dr. Ukani especially enjoys connecting with patients and providing the instant relief that comes from alleviating pain and restoring smiles.

Dr. Melody Chang brings eight years of dental experience and a patient-first approach to Convoy Dentistry. Known for her attentive care and gentle touch, Dr. Melody is committed to helping patients feel at ease while delivering high-quality, personalized dentistry. Her wealth of knowledge and dedication to exceptional care help ensure every patient receives the attention they deserve.

Together, Dr. Ukani and Dr. Melody offer a wide range of services with a shared mission to inspire confidence in every smile. Outside the office, Dr. Ukani enjoys exploring San Diego’s local food scene, traveling, and photography, while Dr. Melody continues to expand her expertise and passion for providing exceptional dentistry for every patient.
