Dr. Aabhar Patel began his career as a dentist in India before immigrating to the United States in 2015 to reunite with his family. He went on to earn his DMD at Temple University’s School of Dentistry in 2018. Immediately after graduation, he joined the Temple faculty, where he taught dental anatomy, mentored international dentists, and ultimately became Program Director of the Advanced Standing Program.
Dr. Patel also committed to serving his country by joining the U.S. Army Reserves. He recently completed a tour of duty in the Middle East, providing dental care to soldiers at multiple bases, including those in combat zones. His military service instilled values of discipline, adaptability, and service to others—qualities that continue to guide his approach to orthodontics.
In 2022, Dr. Patel entered the Orthodontics Residency Program at Montefiore Hospital in New York, where he has gained extensive experience treating a wide spectrum of cases. His training includes everything from mild crowding and bite correction to complex surgical orthodontics and craniofacial deformities. This breadth of experience allows him to tailor treatment plans to each patient’s unique needs, whether simple or highly complex.
Dr. Patel’s clinical philosophy emphasizes esthetics, efficiency, and patient comfort. He is committed to creating natural, confident smiles while minimizing the need for extractions whenever possible.
Now preparing to settle in Buffalo with his wife and their dog, Dr. Patel is excited to contribute to the community while delivering the highest level of orthodontic care. His mission is to serve patients with compassion and precision, transforming smiles in ways that are both life-changing and lasting.
Dr. Bochacki is a lifelong resident of Western New York, where he and his wife, Robin, have raised their three children. With more than 25 years of orthodontic experience, he’s proud to help patients throughout the community achieve healthy, confident smiles.
After earning his biology degree from Niagara University, Dr. Bochacki continued his education in Boston at Harvard University School of Dental Medicine, where he received his Doctor of Dental Medicine (D.M.D.) degree. He also earned a Master of Public Health (M.P.H.) from the Harvard School of Public Health.
He then returned home to Western New York to complete his orthodontic residency at the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine, where he now serves as an assistant clinical professor, teaching orthodontics to dental students and residents.
