Dr. Falkel is a class of 1987 graduate of University of the Pacific, Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry in San Francisco, Calif. After graduation, he attended his general practice residency at the Veterans Administration Hospital at West Los Angeles and has been in general practice in Monterey, Calif, since 1989. Having experienced frustration with the performance of local anesthetic in his practice, particularly around the frequency of failed anesthetic, delayed onset, injection pain, and postoperative discomfort, he began research into the pharmacokinetics of dental anesthetic. Based on this research, Dr. Falkel has developed an alternative new paradigm in anesthetic delivery science for dentistry. He is the cofounder of Onpharma, an anesthetic technology and products company.
