About Dr. Komal Shaikh

DMD

Meet Dr. Komal Shaikh

Dr. Komal Shaikh joins our practice as she moves back to Pittsburgh. She received her BS from Penn State York in 2014 where she completed research on dental composites in order to further her dental studies. She went on to graduate from University of Pittsburgh’s School of Dental Medicine in 2020 and was interested in treating patients who were medically compromised and those with special needs.

She was able to pursue this at the University of Texas in Houston where she earned her General Practice Residency. She treated patients with severe medical conditions and patients who require special needs while in the clinic and the operating room under sedation.

After her dental studies and residency, Dr. Shaikh spent the remainder of her time in Houston in private practice treating adult, pediatric, and geriatric patients and her residency training allowed her to examine patients who required more detailed care. Her and her husband moved to New York and Dr. Shaikh continued to work in private practice while her husband completed his PhD. 

After years of being away from Pittsburgh, Dr. Shaikh and her husband recently moved back and are excited to make Pittsburgh their permanent home. Her experience with patients of all ages and years in practice make her an excellent addition to our practice. A true advocate for patient education,

Dr. Shaikh takes the time to explain treatment options and guide patients through their dental journeys with clear communication and a gentle touch. Her goal is to ensure every patient feels informed, comfortable, and confident in her care.

Dr. Shaikh loves hiking, playing board games, traveling, and spending time with her family and cats. She looks forward to welcoming new patients and helping them achieve and maintain optimal dental health through personalized, high-quality care.
