Growing up Dr. Sridharan spent her summers at her grandfather’s clinic. He was a general surgeon in southern India. She loved science and knew at a very young age that she wanted to be a doctor. She was also very good at working with her hands and realized that dentistry is the perfect combination of art and science. She knew it was the right profession for her and she enjoys doing it every day.
During her time off she loves to crochet and work on craft projects. She also enjoys running with her dog, playing classical piano, and traveling with her husband. Her words to live by are, “comfort is the enemy of progress.”
