From a young age, Dr. A knew he wanted to help people and that he had a gift for working with his hands and using fine motor skills. During his college years, he discovered that dentistry was the perfect fit for his skills and passion for working with people.

Dr. A is qualified in all dental specialties, including dental surgery, full-mouth rehabilitation, orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry, and general dentistry.

Dr. Jennifer Zhou, DDS

Dr. Jennifer earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery Degree from the University of Michigan.

She believes that a good dental appointment can brighten someone’s day and enjoys all aspects of dentistry, gently caring for her patients.

Dr. Shiv Patel

Dr. Shiv Patel is a graduate of Temple University’s Kornberg School of Dentistry. He is passionate about providing comprehensive, patient-centered dental care that helps people feel confident in both their oral health and their smiles. His own journey into dentistry began after experiencing firsthand how transformative a smile can be. After getting braces, Dr. Shiv saw a significant boost in his confidence and began receiving compliments about his teeth. That experience opened his eyes to the impact a healthy, confident smile can have on a person’s life and inspired his passion for dentistry.

Today, Dr. Shiv strives to give his patients that same sense of confidence while treating their oral health as a whole. He believes excellent dentistry goes beyond addressing a single tooth or immediate concern—it means understanding each patient’s needs, educating them about their oral health, and creating a comprehensive plan focused on long-term health and function. His goal is to provide high-quality care while ensuring every patient feels comfortable, heard, and confident in their treatment.

A native of Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Dr. Shiv attended Temple University, where he earned his Bachelor of Science in Biology before continuing his education at Temple University’s Kornberg School of Dentistry. Giving back to the community has always been important to Dr. Shiv. Growing up, he regularly participated in community service programs, including volunteering with the American Red Cross and local food banks. These experiences helped shape his passion for helping others and continue to influence the compassionate approach he brings to patient care.

Outside of the office, Dr. Shiv enjoys staying active by playing basketball and volleyball. As a lifelong Philadelphia-area native, he is a die-hard Philadelphia sports fan and loves cheering on the city’s teams. He also has a passion for traveling the world, experiencing new cultures, and exploring new places whenever he gets the opportunity.

Dr. Amir gained valuable experience providing hospital-based and urgent dental care through the University of Maryland, where he was recognized for his exceptional commitment to patient care and professional responsibility. His passion for surgery led him to complete an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery clerkship and provide dental care, to underserved communities through the Special Olympics and Mission of Mercy.

In addition to private practice, Dr. Amir provides care at a Maryland correctional facility, further developing his experience in oral surgery and treating patients with a wide range of dental needs. He remains committed to advancing his clinical skills through continuing education, with a particular focus on root canal therapy, surgical procedures, and modern dental technology.
