Originally from the Bay Area, Dr. Gorshteyn graduated from UC Berkeley (Go Bears!) in 2013 with a degree in integrative biology and a minor in music. She then moved to Los Angeles, where she pursued her dental degree at UCLA. There, she was able to combine her love of teaching, working with children, and public health with dentistry to find her passion for pediatric dentistry. During dental school, she devoted her time to teaching, public health, and the advancement of women in dentistry. She was awarded first place in the ADA Health Literacy Essay Contest for her work on sugar-sweetened beverages and their effects on oral health.
In her final year, Dr. Gorshteyn is excited to continue growing and learning from all of her mentors at UCSF and pursuing her research in the study of novel genes in the development of healthy and altered enamel. In her free time, she likes to play board games, travel, bake, and try all the delicious food San Francisco has to offer!
