Dr. Shastri was born and raised just outside of Chicago, IL, and moved to Milwaukee, WI, after completing her undergraduate studies at Loyola University in Chicago. There, she earned a Master’s degree in Health Care Administration and later pursued her Doctorate in Dentistry at Marquette University. After completing a General Practice Residency (GPR) at SUNY Upstate Medical University, Dr. Shastri joined the Eastman Institute for Oral Health at the University of Rochester, where she has been a valued faculty member since 2008. She currently resides in Penfield, NY, with her husband Mike, their two daughters, Keira and Adelyn, and their beloved dog, Luna.

Dr. Shastri’s journey into dentistry was inspired by her desire to make a positive impact on people’s lives. While working as a dental assistant during her Master’s program, she discovered her passion for the field and saw how a healthy smile could truly transform lives. Today, Dr. Shastri finds immense joy in helping patients achieve the confidence that comes with a beautiful smile.

Outside of work, Dr. Shastri’s family is her top priority. She spends her time attending her daughters’ softball games and cheer competitions, and when she has a quiet moment, she enjoys reading and spending time outdoors, savoring the balance between her professional and personal life.
