As an empty nester, Dr. Brown fills her time with traveling, cooking, weekly Mah Jongg, and time at the gym. She is an active board member of the Women of Washington Hebrew Congregation, Women of Reform Judaism, and Alpha Omega. Most importantly, she enjoys spending time with her husband (Dr. Pollowitz) and their grown children.

Dr. Karishma Sheth knows exactly what it’s like to dread the dentist. She had a traumatic dental experience as a child that made appointments feel impossible. She was determined to change the experience for others and became the dentist she never had.

Outside the office, Dr. Sheth is most likely researching her next travel destination, experimenting in the kitchen, or spending time with her husband and other loved ones. She has a deep appreciation for different cultures and believes some of life’s best memories are created around a shared meal and great company.

Dr. Sheth grew up in India, then attended the University of Pennsylvania for her undergraduate degree. She earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Pittsburgh. After gaining early clinical experience in Florida, she made her way to Washington, DC. She specializes in clear aligner therapy and is one of the few area dentists offering prepless veneers as a conservative smile makeover solution. Combining advanced digital dentistry and an artistic eye, she creates naturally stunning smiles that last. She believes that when patients feel safe and supported, they’re confident enough to get the care they truly deserve.
