Dr. Markonda, DMD
Background and Early Inspiration
Dr. Markonda’s passion for dentistry was sparked in his hometown in southern India, inspired by his father’s commitment to patient care and his mother’s unwavering encouragement. This strong foundation of values led him to earn his dental degree in India in 2018, after which he moved to the United States to pursue advanced training and broaden his clinical expertise.
