“Be kind to your dentist – he has ‘fillings’ too.”

My Mission

“Growing up in New Jersey and India, I had several cavities. Sealants and fluoridated water were never an option for me while I was living in India. Once I returned to NJ, I had my cavities filled at my local dentist. Personally, I was always scared before dental visits. My dentist, however, always had a way of calming me before appointments and making me as comfortable as possible to get my cavities filled.

I decided to become a dentist based on my own experiences as a patient. My childhood dentist inspired me to enter a profession where I would serve a community in need and in fear of dental care. I hope to engage my patients in their treatment and reduce their anxiety from dental procedures at Holly Springs.”
