If you ask Dr. Shraddha Kulkarni when she decided to become a dentist, the answer is easy:
she never really considered being anything else! Growing up with two dentist parents, she spent her childhood watching them turn nervous patients into smiling ones, and knew she wanted to do the same one day.

Dr. Kulkarni earned her dental degree from Nair Hospital Dental College in Mumbai, India, in
2015 and practiced as a general dentist for three years before moving to the United States. She went on to earn her Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine in 2020 and has been helping patients smile with confidence ever since.

Known to her patients as “Dr. K,” she believes a trip to the dentist shouldn’t be intimidating. Her goal is to create a relaxed, welcoming environment where patients feel heard, cared for, and genuinely excited about their oral health.

She loves the variety of general dentistry and enjoys helping patients with everything from
routine care and restorative treatment to root canals, surgical extractions, and dental implants.

When she’s not in the office, you’ll usually find Dr. K planning her next adventure, exploring a new national park, or chasing after her energetic two-year-old son, who keeps her on her toes—in the very best way. She also has a soft spot for animated movies and will tell you that Finding Nemo is the greatest one ever made.
