Dr Eshan Verma Principal Dentist and Practice Owner Because of merit, Dr Eshan Verma was offered a full scholarship to study dentistry at the best college in India. He received his training at Manipal College of Dental Sciences, Manipal University, Karnataka, India. He appreciates being a dentist every day and hasn't looked back since he began practising in 2013. Dr Verma always knew he wanted to be a doctor. He loved science and art, and dentistry provided him with a good mix of both. He thinks of being a dentist in this way: The D stands for doctor. The EN stands for engineer. And the TIST stands for the artist. These components create a DENTIST and combine the skills and artistry required for excellent dentistry. These are also all the aspects of dentistry he is passionate about. When he's not caring for patients, Dr Verma loves spending time with his dog, called Google. He also loves art, theatre, concerts, travelling, fine dining, and being a nerd by keeping current with knowledge. He's also passionate about saving our planet and enjoys teaching, singing in his car, or while treating his patients (they call him the singing dentist). He is also a self-proclaimed chef and loves cooking for his friends and family. A secret talent is that he can create a healthy and yummy recipe from random ingredients, and it always tastes good!
