Dr. Ameena syed
Dr. Ameena Syed is a WVU School of Dentistry Graduate and was born in Pakistan and then moved to the US, spending much of her childhood in Morgantown, WV. She noted her favorite thing about practicing dentistry in her home state is being able to give back to her community. “The people of this State opened their hearts when I first came to this Country, and I will do everything possible to give back to the State as much as I can.”
After graduating from WVU’s School of Dentistry, Dr. Syed completed a one-year general practice residency program to further hone her skills and master new procedures. She felt this added opportunity served her patients well, as “I treat my patients with great care and respect, always keeping in mind to treat them as I would my own family.” Residing in the Morgantown area with her husband, she enjoys spending spare time hiking and reading. |
