Dr. Anisha Sebastian
Hi, I’m Dr. Anisha! Having been born and bred in the heart of Los Angeles, I am so excited to make the great state of Texas my new home! I feel so grateful to be able to wake up every day to practice this incredible profession of bringing confidence and happiness to people through their smiles.
My dental journey started at the University of Southern California for my undergraduate education. I continued on to UC San Francisco where I obtained my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree and ultimately ended up back in the Trojan family at USC, where I completed my final residency in Orthodontics. I am truly honored to be a part of the Thrive team and can’t wait to help make your dream smile a reality!
One of my greatest passions in life is dancing (currently in a Salsa and Viennese Waltz mood these days!). I discovered my love for dance when I started dancing in college. It’s also how I met my soon-to-be-husband! My other greatest love is traveling. My secret personal goal in life is to visit at least one new country every year for the rest of my life (I’m on a 5-year streak so far – let’s see how I do!).
Dr. Shen
Dr. Shenouda Abdelshahed obtained a Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree from Cairo University in Egypt in 2012. He moved to the USA and received his Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from the University of Alabama in Birmingham School of Dentistry in 2021.
Dr. Shen is fully committed to his patients’ smiles, and that means keeping his mind and skills sharp! It is his firm belief that to be the best in the dental industry, you must take a lifelong approach to learning and education.
He believes that he can make a difference in patients’ lives by offering the patient an opportunity to be active in their treatment decision process, educating them as to how they can maintain a healthy smile for life, and help patients have not only a healthy mouth but a healthy body.
Outside of dentistry, Dr. Shen enjoys spending time with his wife Tina; in their free time, they love traveling and hiking. make each day great, something specific I am grateful for, a daily affirmation, and three amazing things that happened! It really helps set the tone for the rest of my day, and promotes positive thinking.
Dr. Abeha Usman
Hi I’m Dr. Usman! I am so excited to be a part of the Thrive Dental & Orthodontics family. I grew up in Illinois, attending the University of Illinois at Springfield for undergrad and Case Western Reserve University School of Dental Medicine. Something most people don’t know about me is that I love spicy fried chicken and that I’m a big Swiftie.
As a dentist, my goal is to always provide thorough and thoughtful care. I love helping my patients achieve and maintain optimal oral health with long-lasting and healthy smiles that last for years to come!
I am grateful to be immersed in the world of health and wellness. I am a big long-distance runner, and my favorite workout class is Corepower. I also just love being outside! For the past 10 years or so, my family has taken an annual ski trip, and I can’t imagine a winter without it. I also love reading nonfiction and fiction books, listening to wellness podcasts, and just constantly looking for ways to grow and learn.
