I was born and raised in India. I am currently a third-year Pediatric Dental Resident at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, AL.
I am a pediatric dentist specializing in oral healthcare for infants, children, adolescents, and individuals with special healthcare needs. I received my Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree from Manubhai Patel Dental College and Hospital, India, in 2012. Before coming to the USA, I practiced as a General Dentist in my hometown, Vadodara. I completed a two-year Master of Science in Dentistry Program in the Department of Oral Biology, Rutgers School of Dental Medicine, New Jersey in 2019. I completed a Certificate in Pediatric Dentistry and a Master’s degree from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, AL in 2023.
I like working with children and helping them maintain good oral health. I understand that dental visits can be intimidating for children, and I try to create a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere for them. I try to take the time to explain the procedure and answer any questions that parents or children may have.
I am committed to continuing my education and staying up to date on the latest advancements. I am an active member of many local, state, and national organizations, including the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, Birmingham District Dental Society, Alabama Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, American Dental Association, Southeastern Society of Pediatric Dentistry, and California Dental Association.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and my dog, Zoey. I and my husband love to travel, experience new cultures and indulge in various cuisines. I also love to do community and volunteer work for local schools to promote oral health education. Children encouraged me to use my imagination, have fun, and be a little silly!!
