About Dr. Ghorbani
Dr. Ghorbani’s life and career are shaped by diverse experiences, a deep love for science, and a genuine commitment to helping others. As one of three siblings, he grew up in a close-knit family and spent his childhood across Texas, Missouri, and Maryland. These varied environments helped shape his perspective, adaptability, and strong connection to the communities he serves today.
From an early age, his interest in the biological sciences was unmistakable. He pursued a Bachelor of Science in Biology at the University of Maryland, College Park, where he concentrated his studies in Neurophysiology. During his undergraduate years, he distinguished himself academically and contributed to published scientific research. His collaborative publication, “Amplification of Asymmetric Induction in Sequential Reactions of Bis-diazoacetates Catalyzed by Chiral Dirhodium (II) Carboxamidates,” reflects his dedication to scientific inquiry and precision—qualities that later carried over into his dental career.
After completing his bachelor’s degree, Dr. Ghorbani continued his academic journey at Nova Southeastern University’s College of Dental Medicine in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. There, he honed his clinical skills, deepened his understanding of patient care, and developed a passion for comprehensive, patient-centered dentistry. His education combined rigorous scientific training with hands-on experience, preparing him to deliver high-quality dental care using modern techniques and a compassionate approach.
Today, Dr. Ghorbani brings that same commitment to excellence to every patient he treats, continuing to build on the strong academic and personal foundation that has shaped his journey.
Hobbies & Personal Interests
Outside the dental office, Dr. Ghorbani leads a life filled with energy, activity, and meaningful connections. A passionate sports enthusiast, he enjoys staying active by spending time at the gym, following his favorite teams, and maintaining a disciplined routine that supports both physical wellness and mental clarity. This commitment to a healthy lifestyle keeps his skills, focus, and instincts sharp—qualities that naturally carry over into his work as a clinician.
On weekends, you’ll often find him surrounded by friends and family, sharing meals, stories, and laughter. He especially enjoys grilling, hosting gatherings, and creating moments that strengthen the bonds he values most. These personal connections are a big part of what keeps him grounded and motivated.
As a Burke dentist and practice leader, Dr. Ghorbani takes pride in cultivating a practice built on trust, integrity, and teamwork. He has entrusted the day-to-day management of Shield Dental Care to his brother, Payam Ghorbani, whose leadership and support allow the practice to thrive while ensuring patients receive the level of care and attention they deserve.
