Dr. Shahrzad (Sherry) Sami is a dual specialist in pediatric dentistry and orthodontics.
A graduate of Columbia University, she completed her residency in pediatric dentistry and orthodontics at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) Medical Center. She later served as a clinical instructor at UCLA, as part of both the pre-med and dentistry programs. It was during this time that she became one of the creators of the Children Health Advocacy Training (CHAT) curriculum. Collaborating with pediatricians and dentistry specialists, Dr. Sami designed one of the first integrative residency training programs that incorporated western medical practices with other intuitive, holistic interventions.
For her, comprehensive healthcare means recognizing the patient as more than physical symptoms, and that mind and spirit play essential roles in our state of health. It’s this philosophy that continues to drive her passion to offer integrative therapies through her practice such as cranial osteopathy, homeopathy, nutritional medicine and anthroposophical medicine, among others. Through her comprehensive approach to care, Dr. Sami has seen integrative treatment make dramatic differences in the lives of patients dealing with allergies, ADHD, autism and sensory integration challenges. Her treatment services are free from mercury, BPA fillings and sealants and use x-rays and fluoride only when absolutely necessary.
