Dr. Mehrotra comes from a rich lineage of doctors and dentists. His grandfather (Dad’s side – Dr. P.N.Mehrotra) was the first private dental practitioner in his home city of Lucknow, and Dr. G.D.Kapoor (Mom’s side) was one of the pioneer cardiologists of his time in India.
Dr. Mehrotra was born in Lucknow, India, to Dr. Nikhil Mehrotra, an oral surgeon, and Mrs. Vini Mehrotra. He grew up in India and often watched his Dad change patients’ lives for the better. The love and respect patients showed his dad inspired him to pursue Dental School in India. Dr. Mehrotra graduated from the prestigious King George’s Medical University, Dental College, India, at the top of his class, with a multitude of gold medals and certificates in his final year. Pursuing his passion for higher learning surgery, he subsequently completed his DDS from Columbia University in New York, followed by his medical and surgical training at NYU.
Dr. Mehrotra strongly believes in giving back to the community, and since his dental school days, he has made sure to regularly volunteer in and sponsor community events, helping organize free dental camps, helping in “Give Kids a Smile,” the Columbia Free Dental Clinic, and many more such.
Outside of work, Dr. Mehrotra loves spending time with his wife Mahima, daughter Sharvi, and the rest of their family and friends. He is also a regular practitioner of Sahaja Yoga Meditation and loves to read, explore new places and cuisines, and play cricket, tennis, and table tennis in his free time.
