about me
I practiced as an endodontist in India before moving to the United States, where I now enjoy practicing general dentistry. Outside of dentistry, I love exploring the Pacific Northwest, hiking, taking photographs and creating music with my husband. Most of all, I cherish spending time with our baby daughter and making memories.
