About Us

Dr. Nira Dwivedi, a native New Yorker, received her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree at the Columbia University College of Dental Medicine. She then went on to receive a certificate from the Yale School of Medicine for her general practice residency in dentistry at Yale-New Haven Hospital. She practiced as a general dentist in midtown Manhattan and found that she had a special interest in the field of oral and maxillofacial surgery. She subsequently went on to pursue a one year oral and maxillofacial fellowship at the James J. Peters VA Medical Center, a teaching hospital for the Mount Sinai Medical Center. She then completed her oral and maxillofacial training at New York Medical College.

Dr. Dwivedi is a Board Certified Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon. She is a diplomate of the American Board of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons and a fellow of the American Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. She enjoys her role as an assistant clinical professor in the oral and maxillofacial surgery program at Elmhurst Hospital Center, an affiliate of the Mount Sinai School of Medicine.

Dr. Dwivedi was recognized as a New York Top Dentist/Doctor 2016-2017, a division of USA Top Docs, for her commitment to excellence in oral and maxillofacial surgery.

Markella joined the practice in 2020 as a receptionist.  She attended Saint John’s University as well as Queens College and has a Bachelor’s degree in psychology. At Little Neck Bay Oral Surgery she welcomes each and every patient and provides them with the information that they need to help their visit go smoothly.  She enjoys interacting and reassuring patients since oral surgery can cause anxiety for many people.  Markella is fluent in Greek and enjoys traveling to new places.  When she’s not working, she spends time baking and getting together with family and friends.

Sadia joined the practice in 2020 as a receptionist, and she is now an assistant to Dr. Dwivedi. She earned a B.S. in Legal Studies from St. John’s University and is currently attending St. John’s University School of Law. She works closely with Dr. Dwivedi, Markella, and Faith in order to ensure that patients receive the best possible care. The one thing Sadia appreciates most about being a part of the practice is the warm and welcoming environment. In her spare time, Sadia relaxes by spending time with her family, visiting new places and trying new things.

Faith joined the practice in June 2021. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Science and a minor in Chemistry from Plattsburgh State University, and plans on pursuing a future career in pediatrics. Faith has done previous work in research, patient care, and pharmacy. After moving to New York City from Upstate New York, she is looking forward to gaining healthcare experience from Dr. Dwivedi. When she is not working, she likes to go running, watch Netflix and spend time with her older sister.
