As far back as Dr. Chinmay Dave can remember, he's always had a passion to help people, fix broken things, and to draw and paint. As a career choice he knew he wanted to find something that would allow him to be a doctor, engineer, and artist at the same time. During his undergraduate years at Texas A&M University in College Station, he was exploring career choices and got to spend time with a local dentist in a dental practice to see if dentistry would be a good career choice for him. What he learned from this experience was that dentistry fit all three of his passions and a spark was lit!

Dr. Dave is a proud Aggie who bleeds maroon! It's not surprising to hear Dr Dave greet his office guests with a loud and proud Aggie "Howdy!"
