In her own words:
My goal as a dentist is to provide preventive and comprehensive dental care to patients of all ages. I believe that it is essential to listen to my patients and understand their individual needs and concerns. I never developed dental anxiety, and therefore want to help others overcome their fear and apprehension of dentistry and enhance their health and smiles in a minimally invasive approach.
My focus is to educate my patients about their oral health, which is the integral part of our overall well-being. Furthermore, I am passionate about working with pediatrics. Children’s experiences in the dental chair are extremely important to me, and my goal is to make their visit pleasant and comfortable.
During my academic years, I have contributed to research and publications in scientific journals. As I believe in lifelong learning, I have also taken extensive continuing education courses in dentistry across Canada, USA and Europe, and was nominated for the 2014 Doctor’s Choice Award.
