Dr. Mistry was born and raised in Southern California, but now calls Sacramento home. After graduating from the University of California, San Diego with a B.S. in Biology, she moved to Boston to attend Tufts University School of Dental Medicine.

Recently, Dr. Mistry has pursued Advanced education with the prestigious Kois Center/Seattle and Clinical Mastery Series Group adding evidence based techniques to her practice. These experiences have helped mold her philosophy and she believes that compassion, ethics and dental education are the key to patient care.
