About Dr. Priya
Dr. Priya Raman sees our youngest patients, from first-tooth visits to braces-age teens. She holds a master's degree in pediatric dentistry and brings a calm, playful energy that turns wary toddlers into kids who ask when they get to come back.
Before joining Brightside in 2019, she worked at a children's hospital dental clinic, caring for kids with autism, sensory processing differences and complex medical needs. That experience shaped our special-needs scheduling options, including quiet rooms and visual visit guides.
She is a mom of two, a competitive baker and the person responsible for the No-Cavity Club photo wall in our hallway.
"A child's first dental memory can last a lifetime. I want it to be a sticker and a high five."

First dentist in 15 years that didn't make me feel judged. The hygienist explained everything and the ceiling TV helped a lot.
My four-year-old asked when she can go back. Dr. Raman let her hold the mirror and count her own teeth.
