In Pennsylvania, where Dr. Naik was raised, she admired her two entrepreneurial parents, including her dad who was a dentist in the US Army, and saw them as an example for what kind of career she might one day like to have. Dr. Naik completed her undergraduate degree at the University of Pennsylvania in three years and went straight into law school.
However, during her first year of law school, she decided to look into careers in science, which had always been a passion of hers. Dr. Naik was intrigued by the art and science involved in dentistry and found herself seriously considering a career in the field. Dr. Naik worked for a year in the organic chemistry laboratory at UPenn, before going on to attend dental school in Boston at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. While in dental school, Dr. Naik won the senior award for "Best Chair-side Manner", so you can be sure you are in good hands!
Dr. Naik aspired to start her own practice because she wanted to be able to treat people with kindness and offer the best dental care possible. She understands that coming to the dentist can be intimidating and hopes that by treating her patients with compassion and sensitivity she is able to alleviate this fear. Dr. Naik is also passionate about the scientific side of dentistry, regularly researching and attending continuing education courses in an effort to implement the best products and services possible.
Dr. Naik feels rewarded when she is able to make a positive difference in her patients’ lives. She loves interacting with her patients and seeing them smile with confidence. Outside of the office, Dr. Naik loves baking, dancing, and spending quality time with her family and friends.
Dr. Naik is a member of the following organizations:
• The American Dental Association
• The Academy of General Dentistry
• The American Academy of Implant Dentistry
