Get to know Dentist Dr. Priyadarshini Agrawal, who serves patients in Boonville, California.

Dr. Agrawal is an accomplished and passionate dentist who strongly believes in using the latest advances in dentistry with empathy and care to provide the best treatment to her patients. As the Dental Director at Anderson Valley Health Center, she is thrilled to be able to treat patients from throughout the area and build a strong oral health program.

The Anderson Valley Health Center is a not-for-profit federally qualified community health center offering a broad range of services to children, teens, adults, and seniors, providing excellent and affordable health care to the people of Anderson Valley.

Beginning her dental journey in India, Dr. Agrawal earned her Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry degree from the prestigious University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine with the highest honors. Her commitment to dental public health led her to complete a hospital-based general practice residency at Interfaith Medical Center in New York City and eventually move to California in 2017 to continue her practice.

In addition to her work in dental practice, she is also involved in organized dentistry, serving on the board of the California Dental Association Foundation.

Prior to joining Anderson Valley Health Center, Dr. Agrawal was the Lead Pediatric Dentist at HealthRIGHT360, providing clinical services and demonstrated exceptional leadership skills in the development and implementation of the pediatric program.

Dentistry, also known as Dental and Oral Medicine, is a branch of medicine that consists of the study, diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of diseases, disorders, and conditions of the oral cavity. Dentists diagnose and treat dental issues and help patients develop better oral hygiene regimens. They clean teeth, correct bite issues, perform surgeries and extractions, and perform other duties to ensure that the teeth and mouth are healthy.

In her free time, Dr. Agrawal enjoys hiking, yoga, traveling, and spending time with her family.
