Dr. Anjali knew she wanted to be involved in the healthcare field from the moment she began working at her mother’s medical office as a teen. It wasn’t until she learned that she could combine her love of art and patient care into one career that she decided to pursue dentistry.
Dr. Anjali truly believes there is no better feeling than the relationships built with patients. She ensures that she provides the best care to her patients by pursuing hours of continuing education each year, and she is grateful to be able to learn from her colleagues as well as experts in the field.
She received her fellowship in the Academy of General Dentistry (called a FAGD), one of the highest levels of accreditation as a general dentist. To receive this honor, a dentist needs to complete at least 500 hours of advanced training and education as well as pass a rigorous written examination. Her and Dr. Mike worked at it for 7 years and were both accepted to receive the award in 2019.
She went on to receive her fellowship in the International Congress of Oral Implantologists (called a FICOI). To achieve this honor, a dentist needs to complete 100 hours of advanced education in implant dentistry and successfully complete a number of implant cases. Her and Dr. Mike were both awarded their fellowship in 2022.
Dr. Anjali is never one to stop learning. Like Dr. Mike, she is an active scholar of both the Kois Center and Spear Center for Dental Excellence, two of the most respected advanced training institutes in dentistry, where membership demands a rigorous curriculum of advanced coursework, lectures, and hands-on training. She has pursued numerous continuing education courses in conservative treatment methods, digital dentistry, 3-D printing, as well as the management of dental emergencies and medically compromised patients. She is also well-versed in treating patients of all ages, including pediatric patients. She is dedicated to translating this knowledge into thoughtful, personalized care for each patient.
Dr. Anjali met Dr. Mike in dental school and have been together ever since. Married since 2015, they are now proud parents to 2 energetic kids, Zoey and Oliver, who keep life anything but boring. In her spare time, Dr. Anjali enjoys yoga and is an avid runner. She has competed in multiple half marathons as well as a full marathon and hopes to compete in another marathon in the future. She also is an aspiring cook and one day hopes to be as good of a cook as her mother.
