Dr. Ruchi

Dentist

Greetings! I'm Dr. Ruchi Adhikari, A passionate dentist with a heart for both clinical excellence & community service. Originally hailing from the picturesque land of Nepal! I embarked on my dental journey in 2011, and my commitment to dental health has only deepened since then. After graduating from dental school in Nepal, I dedicated several years to providing comprehensive dental care as a general Dentist. In 2018, I embraced a new chapter in my life when I got married and moved to the United States, where I continued to pursue my dental career. In 2021, I had the privilege of further honoring my skills at the esteemed UCSF through the international dental program, a transformative two years experience that expanded my horizons in the field of dentistry. My passion for dentistry extends beyond the clinic walls. I've had the privilege of organizing and participating in dental camps in the remote regions of Nepal, where access to oral health care is limited. These experiences have reinforced my belief and the importance of accessible and compassionate dental care for all. Outside the realm of dentistry, you'll often find me immersed in the world of music, savoring the flavors of diverse cuisines, and indulging in the joy of cooking. Nature has a special place in my heart, and I find solace in its beauty and serenity.
