Dr. Alisha Patel is a board-eligible pediatric dentist who was born and raised in Athens, Georgia. She earned her Bachelor of Science in Mathematics with a minor in Spanish from the University of Georgia, followed by her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston. She then completed her pediatric dental training at NYU Langone Tampa, where she served as Chief Resident.
Dr. Patel chose pediatric dentistry because she loves the preventive aspect of care and the opportunity to help children build healthy habits and a positive relationship with the dentist from an early age. She finds working with kids especially rewarding. Their resilience, curiosity, and intelligence make every day fun and meaningful. Her goal is to create a comfortable, engaging environment where every child feels confident and cared for.
Outside of the office, Dr. Patel enjoys traveling, practicing yoga, and playing pickleball. She also loves spending time with her sisters and friends, playing board games and cards, and listening to pop music.
