Board-Certified Orthodontist – Western Massachusetts

Why Did You Decide to Become an Orthodontist?

Dr. Murthy always found it intriguing to work in the healthcare field, and he quickly learned that dentistry was a great place to be where he could also build amazing relationships with others. He also greatly appreciated that being in this field would afford him the ability to schedule his hours himself, which would allow him to spend more time with his family. Today, he’s incredibly happy as an orthodontist and wouldn’t have it any other way.

Where Did You Study Dentistry?

Dr. Murthy attended The City College in New York City before studying at the University of Pennsylvania for his dental doctorate. He later completed his Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency through the U.S. Air Force Medical Corps at Langley Air Force Base (where he served as a Captain), and then his Orthodontics residency at the University of Pennsylvania. He is highly trained in a wide range of services, including traditional braces, lingual braces, surgical orthodontics, and Invisalign.

Other than regularly seeking continuing education to expand his knowledge and skills in orthodontics, Dr. Murthy is also a proud member of several professional organizations, such as the American Association of Orthodontists and the American Board of Orthodontics.

Outside of the Dental Office, What Do You Like to Do?

He loves visiting new places with his loved ones, going on ski trips, and enjoying time at the beach. Together, they also enjoy playing board games, doing puzzles, and cooking different recipes. Fun fact about Dr. Murthy: he’s a sci-fi nut and Star Trek fan, as he attends Star Trek conventions whenever he has the time!
