Neelam Shah, DDS
General Dentist
I grew up in a small town in Indiana. I knew I always wanted to live in a bigger city, and Dallas was the perfect fit for me! The most important aspect of dentistry for me is listening to my patients concerns and providing a comfortable environment. To me, the best part of dentistry is helping patients and knowing that they are happy with the quality of their dental work. In my free time, I like to work out, watch football, try new restaurants, and spend time with friends and family.
