About Dr. Nadia
Dr. Nadia was born and raised in Orange County, California. She received her bachelor’s degree in Biology and Psychology from The University of California San Diego (UCSD). As an undergraduate, she served as a board member for UCSD’s Pre-Dental Society and helped to manage its affiliated student-run free pediatric dental clinic in San Diego. She received her Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry (DMD) at Roseman University of Health Sciences in South Jordan, UT where she graduated in the top of her class. As a dental student, she served as President of the student body and co-founded a fund that provided financial assistance for dental care for the community’s most marginalized patients. She received special recognition from the chancellor of Roseman University for her work in leadership and patient outreach. She completed a general practice residency at Oregon Health and Science University before returning home to beautiful Southern California.
She and her husband, Luke, welcomed their first daughter in January of 2021. In her free time, she loves to practice yoga, hike, and go backpacking in the tallest mountains she can find – a hobby she picked up while in Utah. She believes that setting the foundation for a lifelong healthy relationship with dental care begins with education and prevention of dental disease and having fun while doing it. Her favorite part of dentistry is helping her patients, and their parents, overcome their fear of the dentist and feel empowered to take control of their dental health.
