Dental Staff

At Dr. Pattanashetti's office, we believe that a good dental practice comes with service, training, experience, and knowledge. All of our friendly and knowledgeable assistants are x-ray certified and required to enter a training program for Expanded Functions through the State of Maryland.

We hold daily "huddles" in the morning to make patient visits more comfortable. As a team, we attend Continuing Education Classes outside of the office and also have an annual meeting reviewing sterilization practices, OSHA requirements, CPR seminars and PANDA (child safety) seminars. This ensures that our patients are receiving the latest, most up-to-date care in the dental industry.
