About This Provider
Dr. Reena Shah is a board-certified pediatric dentist with more than 25 years of experience treating children in the Chicago area. She holds the Diplomate designation from the American Board of Pediatric Dentistry, a distinction achieved by very few pediatric dentists in the country. Dr. Shah completed her dental degree at the University of Michigan and her pediatric dental residency at Northwestern University through Children's Memorial Hospital, where she served as chief resident and focused her research on prevention and infant oral health. She was one of only three pediatric dental specialists invited to remain at Children's Memorial Hospital as an attending doctor, a role she continues today while also seeing patients at Growing Smiles Chicago. As a parent herself, Dr. Shah brings direct understanding of what children and families need from a dental visit. Parents consistently describe her as kind, competent, and skilled at calming anxious young patients, building relationships that often span multiple years and multiple children within the same family.
