Meet The Doctor
Dr. Samina Quidwai, DDS
Dr. Quidwai is passionate about dentistry because it allows her to team with individuals to help them be the best version of themselves. She believes everyone deserves a pain-free mouth and to have confidence in their smile. She loves to meet new people and strives to make patients feel heard and at ease in the dental chair. Her goal is to merge her compassion, knowledge, and cutting edge dental technologies to provide the highest quality care and dentistry. She believes oral health is a key component to systemic health and mental health, and is excited to be part of Sierra Smile’s complete health dentistry team in Lake Tahoe.
Originally from Spokane, Washington, Dr. Quidwai received both her undergraduate and dental degrees from University of Washington in Seattle. She has a passion for working with underserved populations, and has participated in dental humanitarian programs in Haiti, Jamaica, rural Montana mobile vans, inner-city Seattle homeless shelters, and long-term care facilities.
When not in the office, Dr. Quidwai can be found out on the trails in Tahoe, mountain biking, skiing, or hiking with family, friends, and her two yellow Labrador retrievers.
