Dr. Nikhil Mehandru, DDS
Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon
Introduction
About Dr. Nikhil Mehandru
Dr. Mehandru's path to surgery ran through engineering: an electrical engineering degree at Harvard College, dental training at the University at Buffalo, and oral and maxillofacial surgery residency at Rutgers Health in Newark. He has published peer-reviewed research on using machine learning to detect pathology in panoramic radiographs, and he brings that same precision-with-technology mindset to imaging-guided surgical planning for his patients.
