In her free time, Dr. Gandhi loves to travel the world, try out different cuisines, beat her family in their Fantasy Football League, cheer on her favorite Tarheels at basketball games, and speculate alternative endings for Game of Thrones.
“I truly love dentistry and am happiest when I am helping my patients gain a better smile whether it is through education, prevention, or treatment. I am a lifelong learner and love that dentistry allows me to help people improve their oral and overall health and have fun in the process! My passion for making a positive impact on my patients lives while making dentistry relaxing and fun for them is what inspired me to establish a brand new practice in the area I grew up in! I look forward to meeting all of you at Mint Leaf Dentistry!” – Dr. Kaushal Gandhi
