Upon graduating dental school Dr. Becky went on to complete two residency programs, the first one being a general practice residency at St. Barnabas Hospital in the Bronx providing comprehensive care for both children and adults.

Dr. Becky completed her second residency in Pediatric Dentistry at Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C, one of the top ranked children’s hospitals in the country. During her two years at Children’s National Hospital she gained extensive experience treating children with different special healthcare and dental needs.
