About Me
Originally from Gujarat, India, I came to the United States to further my education. Having completed my dental residency in 2021 at the University of Rochester’s Eastman Institute for Oral Health, I decided to become licensed and practice in the beautiful state of Vermont. In my free time, I enjoy hiking with my pet, Bolt and going on long walks.
