Born to be a warrior, after 14 years growing up in war-torn Beirut, she moved to the U.S. where she graduated from university at the young age of 17 and went on to earn a doctorate.
For the last 15 years, she has built a successful, multi-specialty dental practice focusing on cosmetic dentistry, changing lives one smile at a time. In 2024, U.S. News and World Report recognized her with the Patient Top Choice award; she also was named a Top 100 Doctor by LA Style magazine. Her podcast, THE SMILE DIARIES, shares true stories of determination and triumph, ultimately offering strategies for overcoming challenges and maneuvering life’s balancing act.
