Complimentary Meet & Greets
Going to the dentist can be a scary prospect for children (and even some adults!), but it doesn’t have to be. If your child is anxious about visiting the dentist, schedule a meet & greet so they can meet the team and become familiar with the office. Once they’ve gotten to know us, they’ll see there’s nothing to be afraid of after all!
Get to Know Dr. D
Board-Certified Pediatric Dentist
Meet Dr. Manpreet Dhillon, lovingly known as Dr. D by her young patients. She dreamed of being a dentist since she was just a kid, and that dream came true when she became a respected pediatric dentist. Dr. D discovered her passion for working with children in dental school, making her love for pediatric dentistry grow even more.
She worked hard to learn all about teeth and smiles. Dr. D studied Biology, Chemistry, and even Spanish at VCU. She became a dentist, and then she specialized in pediatric dentistry, earning lots of fancy degrees along the way, including being certified by the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.
Dr. D loves exploring new places, and she found her happy home in the lively city of New York after finishing her training. When she's not making kids' smiles bright, she's off on adventures, taking spontaneous trips and trying out delicious foods. She's a big fan of healthy, local eats and enjoys both cooking and dining out. She also practices yoga every day, believing in the connection between our minds and bodies.
For Dr. D, dentistry isn't just a job; it's her passion. She loves the magic of turning unhealthy teeth into beautiful, strong ones and fostering positive habits for her patients. Her mission is to show that doing good, honest work can bring success. She's all about helping her patients and their families, sharing her knowledge, and giving the best advice for happy, healthy smiles.
Get to Know Dr. Neet
Board-Eligible Pediatric Dentist
Dr. Neet always knew she wanted to be involved in healthcare but her passion for dentistry grew when she realized the impact a positive dental experience can have on one’s life. Dr. Neet understood at a young age the pivotal role of fostering good oral hygiene habits and cultivating positive dental encounters for children, laying the foundation for lifelong dental wellness.
Born and raised in Detroit, Dr. Neet's heart remained tethered to her hometown. Her dreams came true when she was granted admission to an esteemed 7-year dental program at the University of Detroit Mercy, where she completed both her undergraduate studies and dental school by 2020. Following this milestone, her professional journey led her to New York City. There, she embarked on a transformative chapter, honing her skills through a general practice residency at Brookdale Hospital and Medical Center, before delving deeper into the realm of pediatric dentistry at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center. It was during these years that her love for working with children blossomed!
Dr. Neet's enthusiasm for her craft radiates in her advocacy for oral hygiene education and proactive dental care. She ensures her young patients maintain "sugar bug"-free smiles with biannual check-ups. But what truly sparks Dr. Neet's passion is witnessing the transformation of fear into comfort, turning dental visits into positive experiences. Her genuine desire to cultivate a welcoming environment ensures that every interaction is full of warmth and reassurance, so your little one will actually want to return!
In her free time, Dr. Neet enjoys traveling the world, reading books, spending time with her family, and playing with her puppy, Biba.
