Dr. Ghaffari grew up in Northern Virginia. He attended Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology where he perfected the art of balancing a difficult academic workload with the intense physical challenges of wrestling and Tae Kwon Do.

Despite receiving an admission offer from West Point, Dr. Ghaffari decided to stay closer to his family and attend Duke University. He double-majored in Biomedical Engineering and Electrical Engineering, earned a 4.0-grade point average, and graduated summa cum laude.
Next, Dr. Ghaffari attended the Medical College of Virginia (MCV) where he studied dentistry and orthodontics. Dr. Ghaffari graduated at the top of his dental class and received numerous academic commendations for his excellent performance and outstanding service to the community.
