Dr. Raoufi’s commitment to her dental career and her patients’ well-being is expressed in her interests for others.

She is that ultimate soccer mom on the sideline, showing her support for her children and sharing in their interests. A vast portion of her time away from her career commitments is dedicated to her children, who are, as she says, the center of her universe. After graduating high school in Austin, Texas, Dr. Raoufi spent two years of her undergraduate at the University of Washington in Seattle.
