Dr. Ameeta Sachdev

Dr. Ameeta Sachdev has been in the dental field for almost 25 years. While attending dental school in India, she was selected as the Best Student Clinician of India and presented her tabletop clinic at the American Dental Association Annual Meeting in San Francisco, in 2003. During that period, her interests in dentistry varied from studying dental fear to researching Ayurveda as a holistic approach to dentistry. She then decided to pursue her career in the United States and was awarded a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from Tufts University, Boston.

After moving to New York, Dr. Sachdev worked in the Bronx: at Our Lady of Mercy Medical Center (now Montefiore North Hospital) during her General Practice Residency (GPR). Thereafter, she worked for 3 years as a general dentist at Ezras Choilim Health Center, Monroe, while also pursuing her interest in orthodontics by attending a full-time 11-month didactic and clinical orthodontic advanced education program at New Jersey Dental School (now Rutgers School of Dental Medicine).

With the support and encouragement of her family, Dr. Ameeta moved to Denver to complete her orthodontic residency at the University of Colorado. Upon her return, she has been serving in Rockland County as an orthodontist. She founded Sachdev Family Orthodontics in Garnerville, NY. She is also an attending at St. Barnabas Hospital, Bronx where she enjoys teaching the orthodontic residents. Following her “highest commitment to excellence', Dr. Sachdev received her board certification from the American Association of Orthodontics (ABO). She believes that every relationship begins with a smile and wants to be able to help people “Just smile!” without inhibitions. She hopes to use her practice as a platform for making a difference in the community.

In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family, swimming, and indulging in outdoor adventures.
