Dr. Singh
Dentist
I was born and raised in India. After completing B.D.S. (Bachelor in Dental Surgery) in India, I moved to the United States with my family. I pursued D.D.S from the State University of New York at Buffalo, School of Dental Medicine. While studying dentistry, I had the opportunity to do an internship in pediatric dentistry, which was a very enriching experience. I grew up in a small village in India. I used to accompany my grandmother to a distant city for her dental appointments. Seeing my grandmother go from no teeth at all to a full mouth of teeth was no less than a fairy tale for me at that age. That's why dentistry is called "ART and SCIENCE". It motivated me to pursue a career in dentistry.
I am a member of the American Dental Association, California Dental Association, San Joaquin Dental Society and Punjabi Dental Society. During my spare time, I love to cook, travel and spend time with my family.
