Dr. Panara (Ajmeri) was born and raised in sunny St. Petersburg, Florida. She completed her Doctorate of Dental Medicine from the University of Pennsylvania. She then completed her General Practice Residency at the prestigious New York-Presbyterian Weill Cornell Hospital. During this time, she gained more experience in performing oral surgery procedures, treating pediatric patients, managing dental emergencies and caring for those who are medically complex.
Dr. Panara comes from a family of physicians, and although she too wanted to provide care to patients, she hoped to use her background in both the visual and performance arts to do so. She discovered the career of dentistry to be the marriage of both ideals and hasn’t looked back. Outside of the office, she enjoys reading, cooking, exploring the local vegetarian food scene, and traveling with family.
