Dr. Naved Fatmi, who hails from Miami, graduated from the University of Florida School of Dental Medicine in 2009 and worked for a year as an independent contractor before purchasing his first private practice in Boca Raton, Florida in 2012.
A few short years later, Dr. Fatmi purchased offices in Boynton and Lake Worth. These three dental practices are collectively known as, Health and Wellness Dentistry.
In 2011, Dr. Fatmi served as an adjunct clinical dentist for the Palm Beach State College Dental Hygiene program, where he established an annual scholarship which recognizes a dental hygiene student, who demonstrates significant improvement in clinical skills and patient care.
In 2015, former Governor Rick Scott, appointed Dr. Fatmi to the Florida Board of Dentistry, making Dr. Fatmi the youngest dentist ever to serve on the Board. During his five-year tenure, Dr. Fatmi served on various committees, and was elected to the positions of Vice-Chair and Chairman of the Board.
In 2022, he was invited to Economic Council of Palm Beach County. A non-profit, non-partisan organization that supports an open and collaborative relationship between the public and the private sectors in Palm Beach County.
He regularly provides pro-bono restorative and preventive treatment to patients with special needs and those in the community who cannot afford dental care.
Over the years, Dr. Fatmi has advocated for access to quality oral health care by providing dental screenings for thousands of children in Miami-Dade and Palm Beach Counties.
In addition, he has contributed substantially toward advancing preventive oral health through his community service and volunteerism.
He is a passionate educator, who has mentored countless dental, dental hygiene, and dental assisting students who have served their externships in his practice and have gone on to achieve success.
