‘‘“In my life I’ve had a number of dental experiences, some positive and some not much. When I speak to patients I let them know that I understand where they are coming from, having been in similar situations myself. I can feel their anxiety and empathize with them as a patient as well as a clinician. I try not to preach to my patients, but rather meet them where they are and make small changes over time.”

Dr. Jumani was born and raised in India. From an early age, he was inspired to become a dentist through summer jobs at his general dentist and orthodontist’s office. He would fill out charts and help with odd jobs to make some pocket money. Over the years, he had the opportunity to get to know some of the dentists very well and loved the impact they had on patients’ lives.

While living in India, Dr. Jumani obtained his dental degree and practiced dentistry for two years there. He then came to the U.S. in order to attain a Master’s in Public Health from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, MD. Upon graduation, he became an Associate Faculty in the Department of International Health, working for the Institute for Vaccine Safety.

Given his love for clinical dentistry, Dr. Jumani chose to go back to dental school and attended the University of Washington to obtain his DDS. Later on, he followed his resolve to earn his MSD in Pediatric Dentistry at the University of Washington.

Dr. Jumani met his wife in dental school, Shreya Jumani, who is also a practicing dentist. They are soon to be parents and are very excited!

For him, the best part of his profession is to have the pleasure of treating little kids and watching them grow, evolve, and mature over time. He truly enjoys creating a bond with his patients and their families.

In his free time, Dr. Jumani loves spending time outdoors with his wife and likes to travel, hike, ski, and run.
