Dr. Harika Thatipalli

General Dentist

I am Dr. Harika Thatipalli, born and raised in India, and graduated dental school with a BDS degree in 2008. Before immigrating to Canada in 2016, I practised as a general dentist in India for over 6 years. Proud alumni of Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, London ON where I earned Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) in 2020 and practised for 2 years as a general dentist in the “Forest city” before moving to the “Wheat city”.

I believe that dentistry is a fascinating blend of “Art & Science”. Providing exceptional patient care is at the core of what I do, and the truly satisfying part of my job is when my patients are happy and leave with a smile. I am well versed with comprehensive initial assessments and treatment planning, restorations, crowns, root canals and extractions. I love to work with pediatric population.

Outside of the world of dentistry, I am a mother of two wonderful boys. In my free time I love to cook Indian cuisine, paint, play piano and have quality time with my husband and kids.

I am a strong believer of Karma- “What goes around comes around”. I strive to give my best to my profession, to the amazing team at Brandon dental centre, and to this beautiful city.
