Meet Dr. Sachdev

Dr. Ameeta Sachdev

ABO Board Certified orthodontist

Dr. Ameeta Sachdev has been in the dental field for almost two decades. While attending dental school in India, she was selected as the Best Student Clinician of India, and presented her table top clinic at the American Dental Association Annual Meeting in San Francisco, 2003. During that period, her interests in dentistry varied from studying dental fear to researching Ayurveda as a holistic approach to dentistry. She then decided to pursue her career in United States and was awarded a Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from Tufts University, Boston.

After moving to New York, Dr. Sachdev worked in the Bronx: at Our Lady of Mercy Medical Center (now Montefiore North Hospital) during her General Practice Residency (GPR). Thereafter, she worked for 3 years as a general dentist at Ezras Choilim Health Center, Monroe, while also pursuing her interest in orthodontics by attending a full time 11 month didactic and clinical orthodontic advanced education program at New Jersey Dental School (now Rutgers School of Dental Medicine).

With the support and encouragement of her family, Dr. Ameeta moved to Denver to complete her orthodontic residency at University of Colorado. Upon her return she has been serving in Rockland County as an orthodontist. She is also an attending at St. Barnabas Hospital, Bronx where she enjoys teaching the orthodontic residents. Following her “highest commitment to excellence", Dr. Sachdev received her board certification from American Association of Orthodontics (ABO)  

Having called North Rockland her home for a decade, she chose to fulfill the orthodontic needs of the community and thus the idea of Sachdev Family Orthodontics (SFO) was born. (SFO, code for San Francisco Airport, is also the first airport that Dr. Ameeta landed in US!). She believes that every relationship begins with a smile and wants to be able to help people “Just smile!” without any inhibitions. She hopes to use her practice as a platform for making a difference in the community.

In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family, swimming and indulging in outdoor adventures.
