Dr. Salim has been interested in the field of dentistry since she was a kid. She grew up working in her parents’ dental office and had some amazing mentors that helped her find her true calling. While in dental school she took her first orthodontics course and from there she knew that she wanted to pursue orthodontics as her specialty. She found that the combination of esthetics, physics, and biology was the perfect fit for her. It was not until she started practicing that she truly realized the impact orthodontics has on an individual’s life. This has only increased her passion for the field.
Her favorite thing about practicing orthodontics is the bond she builds with her patients over the course of their treatment. She loves seeing the change in her patient’s confidence and seeing them smile from ear to ear.
Dr. Salim’s goal is for her patients to enjoy their orthodontic experience and for them to feel comfortable, confident, and educated.
Outside of the office, you can find her spending time with her friends and family! She also loves staying active, some of her favorite activities are walking, running, playing tennis, and pickleball. An interesting fact about her is that she is Persian and speaks fluent Farsi!
