Dr. Shaan Patel
Dr. Shaan’s passion for dentistry began long before dental school. As a sophomore in high school, he started working as an oral surgery assistant, spending weekends and school breaks gaining hands-on experience in the field. It was during this time that he discovered his passion for helping patients and knew dentistry was the career he wanted to pursue.
He continued assisting while earning his Bachelor’s degree in Biology from Binghamton University before attending the NYU College of Dentistry, where he earned his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree.
Dr. Shaan believes that exceptional dentistry begins with listening. He takes the time to understand each patient’s unique concerns, goals, and comfort level, creating personalized treatment plans that are tailored to their individual needs. He approaches dentistry comprehensively, developing treatment in thoughtful phases to ensure every smile is not only beautiful but also healthy, functional, and built to last.
Above all, Dr. Shaan strives to create an experience where patients feel relaxed, respected, and genuinely cared for. He values building lasting relationships based on trust and wants every patient to feel at home from the moment they walk through the door.
Outside the office, Dr. Shaan enjoys golfing, staying active at the gym, practicing photography, and exploring everything New York City has to offer.
