Get to Know Dr. Amie Shah
Your Pediatric Dentist
Dr. Amie (pronounced "uh-me") is a board-certified pediatric dentist who grew up in New Jersey and Philadelphia. After graduating as the Valedictorian of her high school class, she made her way to New York to study economics & pre-dentistry at NYU, where she graduated with honors. She then continued her dental education at Temple University where she had the opportunity to participate in dental mission trips to Honduras and the Dominican Republic to help serve those without access to dental care. She returned to NYC to complete a general practice residency at St. Barnabas Hospital, followed by a specialty training program in pediatric dentistry at Maimonides Medical Center, where she served as chief resident.
Dr. Amie grew up in a large family and always had an inclination towards working with children. She knew at a young age that she wanted to pursue a career in dentistry as she suffered from dental phobia herself as a child. This led her to want to help change that for future generations of children, making pediatric dentistry a perfect career for her. She truly believes in giving each child a positive experience, and hopes to help alleviate fear in dental phobic patients by making every dental visit friendly and fun.
Outside the office, Dr. Amie spends lots of time with her husband traveling, exploring the city, and trying new restaurants. She also enjoys volunteering and reading and spending time with family and friends. She is excited to provide quality care for you and your family with a smile!
