I want to start by saying thank you for taking the time to read about me. I want to extend you my warm welcome to our practice. About me: I graduated from dental school in my home country India, where I practiced under the guidance of an excellent clinician for 3 years in the community. My quest to learn more and expand my horizon brought me to this country in 2010. I had an opportunity to work with a great researcher at the UCLA School of Dentistry during Oral Biology Program. After graduating from University of Colorado, School of Dental Medicine, I moved to the Pacific Northwest. I consider myself fortunate to have lived in three beautiful states, but Oregon is home! I have two wonderful children- Atharva and Ambika. Why dentistry? This profession has a lot to offer to us dentists and the community. I could not have asked for a better career. It gives me an opportunity to meet new people every day, make a small, yet significant, difference in their lives ALL while . Our health is our biggest asset, it needs to be nurtured and cared for. The link between oral health and overall health has become indisputable in recent times. My approach to your care will always be comprehensive- supporting wellness of your overall being and focused on improving quality of life via excellent oral health. We strongly believe in collaborating with your healthcare physician and other oral specialists in the area to provide you with the best care possible. As far as our patients—we LOVE them! We listen, observe, verify, and educate them.
