I liked working as a dental assistant because I enjoy patient care and the hands-on work in the dental field. Seeing patients smile made me feel proud. That experience pushed me to continue my journey in dental hygiene

I’ve worked in the medical field for over 10 years as a front desk
receptionist and have been with Wonderful Smiles for over a year.
Outside of work I enjoy traveling, hiking, reading and spending time with

my husband of 30 plus years and our grown children.

Experience in the dental field began in 2003, with the Wonderful Smiles team since
2020. Interests include traveling with my husband and two children. Boating on
Washington’s lakes, attending concerts, and visiting festivals are all enjoyed.
Acknowledging patients’ smiles and laughter is professionally fulfilling; helping
individuals regain confidence through a restored smile is incredibly rewarding.

My journey for dentistry began in India in the himalayan state named Himachal Pradesh where I got my degree and pursued the same after coming to the US in 2004. I got a DDS degree from UIC Chicago and graduated in 2008. Me and my Husband Dr. Moht Mahajan Family medicine made WA our home as it represents the same mountains and pine trees as Shimla, the home I left behind. We have two beautiful children and have a home in this beautiful town Puyallup where we are happy raising our family and taking care of the health of our patients. In our time away from patient care we love hiking, travelling and visiting family and friends in different states.Music and dance is my hobby and love the nature in every season. Mountain snow leopard is my favourite animal which taught me resilience and strength even in the toughest time and still amazingly skilled for its survival.

Hi, I’m Shivali! I realized I was drawn to dentistry because it gives me a chance to help people feel seen, supported, and confident. I truly believe care is felt, not just given, so I try to bring that feeling into every patient interaction. As I work toward becoming a Hygienist, my hope is to help each person feel truly cared for and to remind them of the beauty in their wonderful smile.
