Dr. Samira Shafaee…
has always shared a passion for science and believes that overall health is part of a larger, interconnected landscape. In her practice, she prioritizes airway health, recognizing the intricate connection between the jaw, bite, and body.
When the jaw is out of sync, sleep suffers—and when sleep suffers, so does everything else.
With cutting-edge expertise and a deep respect for the mind-body connection, she helps patients regain restful sleep, ease tension, and restore balance in a way that improves their well-being from the inside out.
