Dr. Houda Tebcherany Naayem is a Syracuse University and Northwestern University Dental School graduate. Dr Tebcherany has enjoyed over 25 years of private practice and corporate dentistry in both Lebanon and the USA. She has recently joined the faculty at Loma Linda University School of Dentistry.
As a Lebanese American, having lived a significant portion of her life in the delicate balance between her love for both her motherland and her adoptive country, she is well versed in the struggle of the Lebanese Diaspora. Although not unique she shares the frequently exhilarating yet daunting experience many parents live through, the departure of her children for broader educational and professional opportunities that has been a rite of passage many in the Lebanese diaspora can relate to.
Dr. T savors cooking and sharing her recipes of the Lebanese cuisine and culture with her two children, family and friends. She also enjoys many outdoor activities, especially hiking the mountainous trails that remind her so much of her native village.
