Meet the Doctor

Dr. Ami Kagalwala

“I derive great satisfaction and pleasure from knowing that I’ve helped a patient’s overall health, well-being and made a distinct, positive difference in their life by providing them a dental treatment they deserve. Each day, I gain something from my patients, when they’re sharing their interests, their experiences, or even hearing a simple 'thank you.' Serving my patients iswhat makes my career so enjoyable and I thank them for giving me the opportunity.

It has always been my focus to make each patient feel comfortable and relaxed when they come to me for treatment. I work with full dedication to give my patients the attention they deserve.

Of course, none of this would have been possible without the support of my husband and our son, the blessings of God, and the encouragement of my parents and god-parents.”
