Our Doctors

After being an only child for 12 years, I became the eldest sibling with the blessing of a younger sister and a younger brother after moving from Iran. My family and I came to “The Valley” seeking new opportunities, and I went on to attend Madison Junior High and Ulysses S. Grant High School. I earned my Bachelor of Science from the University of California, Los Angeles, and my Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of Southern California School of Dentistry.

You might think that as children, dentists always dreamed of looking at mouths and teeth for a living. However, not every dentist knows from the start that this is their calling. My parents didn’t have the income or dental insurance to bring all five of their children to the dentist regularly, so I only have one memory of going to the dentist in grade school.
