Dr Sophia was born and raised in New York City. However, she didn’t consider herself to be a true New Yorker until after she started working as an associate dentist in various offices across the different boroughs. Before she started college, she spent most of her life on Staten Island and attended P.S.1, I.S.34, and Staten Island Technical High School. She started commuting to and from Manhattan for her undergraduate studies in the Macaulay Honors College Program at Baruch College. She started to consider dentistry as a career path after she shadowed her family dentist and saw how much of a positive difference she was making in patients’ lives. After switching majors and graduating with a biology degree from Baruch College, Dr. Sophia continued her education at the New York University College of Dentistry and graduated with a DDS degree in 2017. She then went on to complete a one year residency in general dentistry at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx.
After eventually getting slightly overwhelmed by the mayhem of the city, Dr Sophia moved to Edison, NJ only a little over a year ago. She definitely is enjoying life out here so far. Dr Sophia loves to do all aspects of general dentistry, but she especially loves endodontics and oral surgery. It gives her a great sense of accomplishment when she is able to relieve her patients of their pain. When she is not busy doing dentistry, some of her hobbies include working out, playing basketball, traveling, reading, working on puzzles and/or Lego sets, and playing claw machines and/or carnival games. As her fellow dentist best friend likes to say about her, Sophia will never leave an arcade empty handed because she will always win something
