Joy is having a positive impact on patients' lives.  Meet Dentist Shaila Garasia. 

Shaila Garasia, DDS

“There is such great joy in having a positive impact on my patients’ lives.” 

Shaila Garasia understands the value of improving and enhancing an individual’s self-worth through better dental care. “ Teeth and how a patient looks are a critical component of how they see and value themselves.  Keeping this primary objective in mind, drives what I do and how I treat my patients,” said Dr. Garasia. 

Dr. Garasia has a passion and commitment to serve the underserved.  In her 17 years as a Dentist, she has worked at several health centers treating patients from diverse backgrounds.  As a child in India, she was exposed to poverty and people with a lack of basic dental care.  Those memories have shaped her outlook on life and have been a driving force in her career choice and work. 

She graduated from Columbia University, School of Dental & Oral Surgery in New York City.  In 2003 she earned a certificate in Non-Profit Leadership from Roberts Wesleyan College in Rochester, New York.
