Bansi Doescher

  • Philadelphia

Smile Team

Education:

DMD, Tufts University Medical School


Why She Was Nominated:

After spending eight years as an associate in a private practice, Dr. Doescher set out on her own, founding Smile Team in 2018; she now has three locations. Known for balancing high-end esthetic and cosmetic treatments with affordability, Dr. Doescher and her team routinely provide dental services and preventive measures pro bono to those who might otherwise go without. Additionally, she volunteers with local schools and sponsors a Philadelphia charity walk.

Tool She Can’t Live Without:

“As funny as it sounds, my husband. He has been my biggest supporter throughout this journey.”

Most Memorable Patient:

“John Forgione, from when I was in dental school at Tufts in Boston. He showed me what an impact dentistry can make on someone’s life. He came to my graduation and is still in touch, sending my kids a Hess truck for the holidays and a card for our family every year. I’m grateful for his friendship and the trust he showed in me while I was in school.”

Inspiration:

“My mother. She came from so little and was able to migrate to a country in order to give us what she never had. She taught me at a young age to always be capable of providing for myself in order to control my own destiny.”
