Born and raised in India, I topped my class and earned my first doctorate degree in dentistry (BDS) from the Govt. Dental College and Hospital, Gujarat state in 1997. A state where Mahatma Gandhi was born, a state where people are known for being peaceful, caring, and food lovers! Advancing my education in the United States, I went to the prestigious Ivy League Dental school, the University of Pennsylvania, to earn my second doctorate degree in dentistry (DMD) and graduated in the top 10% of myclass.
Youll always find me digging for learning more and more. I've taken more than 1000+ hrs. of continuing education courses since my graduation from Dental School. The latest one was from a 2.5 year long Dental Implant Fellowship course from University of Maryland. I'm currently enrolled in Clinical Mastery series of courses to continue to learn the latest advancements in the function and cosmetics in dentistry. I belong to national, state, and local dental organizations and study clubs. I also volunteer and feel joyful when I go on dental mission trips to help others in need. In our small ways, we help our local community as well.
Outside dentistry, I love spending time with my son, daughter, and husband. We have a black Labrador who thinks that his lifes purpose is to protect us. He likes to take me on a walk sometimes. Although our friends and family always complain that Im too busy, I enjoy spending time with them especially if they are cooking for me!
I enjoy cooking, reading, watching movies, and listening to inspiring podcasts and music. Before I started practicing my artistic skills in my patients mouths, I was good at painting, knitting, embroidering, and sculpting. Im a big fan of Tony Robbins, Brandon Burchard,Oprah,and many others who are so amazing at motivating others to do better! I tryto exercise regularly and understand the importance ofbeinghealthy.

Every day we come in ready to give 100%, working together to support our patients needs and create the best smile possible. We believe in mutual respect, open communication, and willingness to do whatever it takes to make every patients visit the best theyve everhad.
Always be cheerful and compassionate and practice the highest standards of ethics, integrity, care, and service. Exceed expectations of our patients and help to improve their health. Put the patients' needs before our own. Be passionate about what we do!
Accept that there is always room for improvement but know that we are one of the best! Coachable and open to feedback. Ask the right questions and listen. Don 't judge others, be good at communication. Have 'can do' attitude.
