Why Did You Decide to Become a Dentist?

The moment she realized she could help people feel pain-free and boost their confidence by enhancing their smiles, she knew it was the perfect fit for her.
Where Did You Study Dentistry?
After attending George Mason University, Dr. Roxana pursued her dental education at the Boston University Goldman School of Dental Medicine. Over the past 14+ years, she has worked exclusively with pediatric patients, providing a wide range of treatments such as full mouth rehabilitation under general anesthesia. During this time, she also underwent extensive training in laser dentistry and lip/tongue-tie treatment. This deep expertise highlights her commitment to delivering innovative, compassionate care that helps young patients achieve pain-free, confident smiles.
Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?
Roxana has been married to her husband Payman Haft (an ophthalmologist) for almost 15 years, and they have three children together (twin girls and a son). Her mother is a retired dental hygienist, and her sister (Dr. Sara) works here alongside her!
As for hobbies, she loves attending her son’s soccer games and practices, cheering on her daughter at various gymnastics competitions, and spending quality time with extended family. She’s also extremely passionate about CrossFit and is a Level 1 trainer, which keeps her energized and balanced both in and out of the office.
