I was introduced to Dr. Al-Najjar by a mutual friend and colleague and joined DC Dental Legacy in 2025, bringing with me more than 10 years of experience in dental practice management. I absolutely love our patients, and my goal is to build trust and ensure that every visit is as comfortable and positive as possible.
I hold a B.A. in Psychology and have called the Washington, D.C. metro area home since 2011. When I’m not taking care of our patients’ dental needs, I enjoy traveling and exploring the art of winemaking.
