Dr. Amir Zarrabi has always had an interest in the biological sciences. Upon graduating from the University of Houston with a BS in Biology, he decided to pursue a Masters in Evolutionary Biology, focusing on harvester and fire ants. However, one day he had the realization that he didn’t want to spend the rest of his life working long lonely hours in the lab with ants. He longed for a more stimulating work environment, along with meaningful interactions with people, so he decided enter the more appealing and creative field of dentistry. He graduated from the New York University College of Dentistry in 2008. In his free time, Dr. Zarrabi enjoys playing guitar, cycling, the outdoors, traveling, hiking, camping, reading, and following Formula 1 racing. He’s also known to make a mean deep-dish pizza!

Mika graduated with her bachelor’s degree in Dental Hygiene in 2019. Originally from the Philippines, she didn’t know much about dentistry or how important it was to take care of her teeth. Her curiosity about the field led her to pursue this career. Now, she is dedicated to helping others understand the importance of oral health. In fact, she took a solo mission trip to the Philippines to educate kids about oral hygiene! Outside of work, she enjoys playing volleyball, indoor rock climbing, camping, and spending time with family and friends.
