Sponsoring Dentist and Principal Instructor
For over 30 years, Dr. Nazir has been a passionate and accomplished clinician who has meaningfully transformed thousands of patients’ lives.
Having been clinically educated overseas with a foundational dental education in India and an advanced degree in Oral Surgery in London, Dr. Nazir offers patients a unique set of skills in today’s broad dental marketplace. Patients seek his expertise from all over the world. While vacationing in sunlit Southern California, Dr. Nazir and his family fell in love with the warmth and engaging environment, eventually choosing to make their home here in Orange County.
With a balance between patient comfort and the latest technology, Dr. Nazir runs his private practice in two beautiful facilities in Anaheim Hills and Newport Beach.
Dr. Ray (as we like to call him) has always had a desire to share his knowledge, relational approach, and unique skillset with other dental professionals. Having a strong business background and now running a surgical powerhouse, he wants to mentor and encourage other dentists, new graduates, and the next generation of clinical professionals. He values an immersion approach which may be time consuming on his part, but something he feels strongly about.
Students who are enrolled at The OP will gain immensely from being able to shadow Dr. Ray and his staff as they engage in their patient-centered practice. It gives him great satisfaction to be able to unleash your potential.
Assisting you in your path to success as a dental clinician and health care provider is, first and foremost, his goal.
