Pearly Bites – New York City

Dr. Desai graduated from the Ontario Veterinary College in 2019. Her journey through vet school has taken her to all corners. of the globe, including Africa and Southeast Asia. Since graduation, she has worked in small animal general practice in northern New Jersey, where she grew up.

After seeing patients at all stages of their lives, and treating a variety of conditions, she began to notice the critical importance of dental health, regardless of age. Her desire to educate and address this silent disease has grown over the years, and she is excited to continue this mission with the Pearly Bites team.

The most rewarding aspect of veterinary dentistry for Dr. Desai is seeing the significant improvement in quality of life for pets that are suffering from dental disease, whether chronic or acute. While their eating habits and play behaviors improve, the human-animal bond also grows stronger when pets are faced with less pain. She hopes to enable pet owners to feel empowered with managing their pet's oral health.
