She completed a General Practice Residency at the Loma Linda VA Hospital in 2009, gaining essential experience in hospital and operating room settings that inform her thoughtful and skilled approach to care today.
In 2012, Dr. Rondon went on to complete a residency in periodontics at the University of Detroit Mercy and St. John Providence Hospital, serving as chief resident and earning a Master of Science degree. She is a proud Diplomate of the American Board of Periodontology and holds memberships in several respected organizations, including the American Academy of Periodontology, California Dental Association and Academy of Osseointegration, California Society of Periodontists, American Dental Association, and the Christian Medical and Dental Association.
