Pediatric Dentist, Sara Golkari, DMD

Dr. Sara Golkari is thrilled to have joined Darien Pediatric Dentistry after six wonderful years of practicing pediatric dentistry. Dr. Sara is a board-certified pediatric dentist and Diplomate of the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry.

She earned her Bachelor’s degree, magna cum laude, from Tufts University and her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree, summa cum laude, from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine. She was inducted into Omicron Kappa Upsilon and Honos Civicus for academic excellence and civic leadership.

Inspired by her mother’s love for pediatric dentistry, Dr. Sara pursued her specialty training at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital—one of the top-ranked children’s hospitals in the country—where she earned her Certificate in Pediatric Dentistry. During her time in Philadelphia, she was honored as a Top Dentist by Philadelphia Magazine for three consecutive years.

Having once been a nervous dental patient herself, Dr. Sara understands how to help children feel comfortable and safe. Dr. Sara has had the privilege of working with families in both Philadelphia and Chicago, building strong relationships and honing her warm, approachable style of care.

Outside the office, she enjoys time with her husband, Will, their daughter, Layla, and their sweet dog, Boo.
