Siraj K. Asadi, DMD, grew up in Orlando, FL and attended the University of Florida. He earned his undergraduate degree in microbiology, and continued with the University of Florida, earning his Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry from UF’s School of Dentistry. Dr. Asadi credits dental school for providing an excellent foundation in various facets of dentistry, allowing him to set the bar high for a quality standard of care that he implements into his everyday practice.

Dr. Asadi’s secret behind his approach is understanding the patient’s perspective. He describes being afraid of the dentist throughout his childhood and young adulthood as helping him understand his patients as a dentist. One of his most rewarding aspects of being a dentist is enjoying being able to help others reach their dental goals while working through any worries along the way. Fostering relationships and building trust and friendship are key.

Dr. Asadi strives to stay true to his motto, “Everyone wants to live in heaven, but rarely are people willing to be heaven for somebody else” - a reminder to act according to what he wants to see in the world around us while remembering the importance of being someone willing to give of himself and not just for a return.
