Dr. Fatima Saiz

Pediatric Dentist
Dr. Fatima earned her Bachelor’s degree in Biology from the University of San Diego in 2007. She’s always had a passion for helping others, especially children, which led her to pursue a career goal of becoming a pediatric dentist. Dr. Fatima attended the University of Nevada, Las Vegas School of Dental Medicine where she graduated Magna Cum Laude in 2011. She then went on to residency at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital where she served as chief resident her second year.
Professional Background

After completion of her residency in 2013, Dr. Fatima wanted to remain in the Midwest, so she moved to Chicago, IL. She practiced Pediatric Dentistry for four years and instantly became a fan of deep-dish pizza, Cubs baseball, and Blackhawks hockey. There, she practiced oral conscious sedations and hospital-setting general anesthesia for full mouth rehabilitation. Afterwards, she moved to Detroit, MI for two years where she treated children from underserved communities. ​She started to miss her family and warm weather, therefore decided to move back to the west coast, specifically to Phoenix, AZ in 2018.

Personal Background
Dr. Fatima is originally from Las Vegas, NV. Her parents are physicians which helped garner her passion for helping others. Growing up, she participated in sports such as dance, competitive cheerleading, and track and field. Additionally, Dr. Fatima has loved art ever since she could remember; in high school, she won multiple city-wide art contests for her paintings and pencil shading sketches. She originally wanted to become a pediatrician just like her mother, but with her passion for art, she steered towards dentistry instead and never looked back. Dr. Fatima firmly believes that pediatric dentistry is a mold of her favorite things: science, medicine, art, and assisting children. She has been practicing for 14 years and she is eager to meet you!

Making Patients Comfortable
Dr. Fatima is warm and inviting. She likes to talk to children and get to know them better. She herself doesn’t like surprises, so she asks the patients if they have any questions or concerns before she starts a procedure (even for cleanings and exams). She shows them which tools she will be using and re-assures them that she’s here to help, and not hurt them.
