Dr. Safina Jetha-Kurji

I am passionate about dentistry, helping others and making people smile. I enjoy building connections with our patients and I strive to make your visit comfortable and at ease with some laughs along the way. When I'm not at UD Dental, you can find me soaking up the sun, paddle boarding, traveling and reading. I'm a big fan of tacos and coffee (although probably not at the same time!) and I'm always looking for recommendations on new camping and road trip destinations.

Bio coming soon...

I chose dental because I knew I wanted to be in healthcare and help people. I take pride in providing the best care possible for my patients through education and making them feel comfortable during their appointments. In my spare time I enjoy mountain biking and reading.

Ever since I was little, I loved going to the dentist. As an adult, my passion for dentistry only grew and now I can't imagine working in another field. It is incredibly rewarding to empower each patient with the confidence and guidance to improve their oral health. Building trust with patients and overseeing their dental care is a privilege I cherish everyday. Three years ago I had the opportunity to join the team at UD Dental and I'm grateful to have been welcomed into such a vibrant and supportive community. Outside of dental work, I enjoy walks with my doggies, Leo & Layla, losing myself in a good book and embarking on adventures with friends and family.

I've always loved new experiences and challenging myself whether it's moving to a new country, learning a new language or taking on a renovation project. My passion for dentistry arises from that same curiosity which is continuing to grow and connecting with people for all walks of life. Connection is also why I believe University District is an awesome place to be and I love this community for its diverse, welcoming and vibrant energy. During my spare time you'll find me playing tennis, skiing or hiking in the great outdoors!

Bringing smiles to our patient's faces by building relationships and being a part of the UD community drives my passion in dentistry. It truly gives me a sense of purpose to get to know our patients and find solutions that fit their needs. I love brightening everyone's day and am the resident "green thumb" of the office - my flower planters at the front of the office are my signature!
