Biography
Originally from sunny Savannah, GA, Dr. Parsaei's credentials speak to her relentless drive to pursue every angle within the delicate art of orthodontics. She has pursued the highest level of expertise to craft smiles as unique and harmonious as the faces they belong to, treating orthodontics as both science and art. She believes every smile should be understood in the context of the person behind it as an expression of who they are.
After receiving her Bachelor’s Degree in Biology from Yale University, Dr. Parsaei earned her Doctorate in Dental Medicine (DMD) with honors from the University of Pennsylvania before completing her Certificate in Orthodontics and Master of Dental Science (MDS) at the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine, one of the nation's most prestigious residency programs, where she also served as Chief Resident. In addition to her education, Dr. Parsaei completed the distinguished Surgical-Craniofacial Orthodontic Fellowship at the Hansjörg Wyss Department of Plastic Surgery through the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. This places her among a small subset of orthodontists with advanced, sub-specialized training, reflecting her commitment to mastering the most complex treatments and ensuring her patients always receive quality, precision-based care.
Dr. Parsaei is also a dedicated educator, serving as an Adjunct Clinical Associate Professor in the Department of Orthodontics at NYU College of Dentistry. She has authored over 30 publications, including a book chapter, and her work has been recognized nationally. She also works as a trusted consultant for various healthcare and dental companies.
Her passion for service extends beyond the office—she volunteers with Mission of Mercy Clinics and Give Kids a Smile NYC, providing free dental care to underserved children and families. When she’s not transforming smiles, she enjoys running in Central Park with her French Poodle Theodore, YPO's Chief Happiness Officer and Certified Therapy Dog.
Dr. Parsaei offers an experience defined by elite-level training, groundbreaking technology, and a patient-first approach. For those seeking the absolute best, she is setting the standard for modern orthodontics.
