She was a Clinical Research Coordinator for Magee Women’s Hospital in Pittsburgh before entering her graduate education. During that time, she participated in many research projects that gave her a foundation to practice evidence based medicine. She received her Doctorate Dental Degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, where she graduated with honors in the top 10% of her class. Dr. Sethi completed her Pediatric Dental Residency at the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, the busiest children's hospital in the country.

She is going to have been in practice for 20 years! Dr. Sethi provides comprehensive preventive, restorative and cosmetic dental care to infants, children and adoloscents, including those with special needs.
