You can learn more about Dr. Shah’s passion for what she does, as well as what she loves to do outside of the dental office, below.
Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?
Dr. Shah has always known that she wanted to be involved in healthcare because she loves being able to change people’s lives for the better. She ended up choosing dentistry because it was one of the few areas of healthcare that allowed her to create lasting relationships with patients and provide them with instant gratification, like by getting them out of pain. As someone who loves to work with her hands, she also enjoys dentistry because it’s a very hands-on profession.
Where Did You Study Dentistry?
Dr. Shah’s career started at Michigan State University, where she received her Bachelor of Science in Human Biology. She then attended Boston University Henry M. Goldman School of Dental Medicine and got her Master of Public Health degree at Johns Hopkins University.
She believes that in order to provide her patients with high-quality dentistry, it’s crucial to utilize and learn the most modern techniques in her practice, which is why Dr. Shah has completed countless hours of post-graduate training. She’s a proud member of Spear Education, several study clubs, Aesthetic Advantage, and has completed sleep apnea and Invisalign training. She’s also a member of the American Dental Association and Massachusetts Dental Society.
Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?
Dr. Shah grew up in a large family and was born and raised in Mumbai, India. She met her husband, who co-owns the practice with her, in dental school. Together, they have a young daughter and son.
In her free time, Dr. Shah loves reading historical fiction and autobiographies, traveling (she’s been to about 35 different countries!), and cooking for her friends and family. She’s always open to having new experiences! Some interesting facts about her are that she has years of Karate training and interned with the United Nations for a summer when she was younger!
