Meet Dr. Jelani Winslow

Dr. Winslow has always liked building and creating. So when he discovered dentistry as a potential career path, he was excited to find an opportunity that allowed him to combine his love of science with his creative, artistic side. He truly fell in love with dentistry while volunteering at dental offices during undergrad at the University of California at Berkeley. These experiences solidified his path to dental school at Temple University in Philadelphia.

Dr. Winslow moved back to the west coast for a General Practice Residency at Rancho Los Amigos Hospital in Downey, CA. After that, he worked in West Covina, CA at the East Valley Community Health Center serving low income patients for 11 years. Although the work was extremely fulfilling, he couldn’t shake the desire to open his own dental practice. In August of 2019, he achieved his dream by purchasing Whittier Palm Dental right here in Montebello.

When he’s not providing Montebello, Whittier, or Pico Rivera with outstanding dental care, he’s traveling, running 5 and 10k races, tinkering with electronic projects and his 3D printer, or volunteering his time and dental expertise to the community.
