Dr. Dhara B. Patel was born and raised in Illinois. She is an all-around Illinois girl and moved to Colorado in Summer of 2021 to enjoy nature and become a part of our amazing NEO team. While completing her dental degree she worked for multiple families as a nanny and a private tutor where she realized her love for kids and pediatric dentistry was the perfect fit. Dr. Dhara treats children of all ages and backgrounds and has a passion for working with children with special needs. Her philosophy is to focus on preventative therapies and to counsel families on how to improve health with changes in their breathing/sleep, nutrition, and oral hygiene habits at home. She truly is devoted to overall child health and wellness and is constantly reading books and attending lectures that will help her understand what overall health and wellness entails for her patients. She even has her own podcast dedicated to this topic called Blooming Smiles: a podcast, which is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Stitcher.
At home, she enjoys spending time with her rescue dog, Mylo. She is a world traveler and has backpacked through Europe and even traveled all the way to Indonesia to learn about sustainability and the epidemic of deforestation in the region. She is a culinary enthusiast and enjoys trying new restaurants or making vegetarian meals at home. In her time in Colorado she has developed a relationship with nature through hiking. Dr. Dhara is also a big believer of giving back; she has spent her time volunteering at community service organizations that focus on child abuse prevention and awareness.

Mallory is originally from the south, sweet home Alabama that is. She married her high-school sweetheart and they have two rather large fur babies, one named Emmie, a Great Dane, and Nala, a ridgeback. Mallory grew up dancing from the age of three and continued to study this passion through college at the University of Southern Mississippi. She has been working with and teaching children for over six years. Mallory can’t imagine a day not surrounded by children because they bring so much joy to her life.
Mallory’s husband’s job moved them around quite a bit from Texas to Missouri and now Colorado. One day they hope to own an inclusive dance studio/business that welcomes children of all abilities to move. Mallory moved to Colorado almost two years ago now and she found herself in the pediatric dental field and it quickly became her passion. Fast-forward a year and she is now the clinic lead, a dental hygiene assistant, an operative assistant and an orthodontic consultations here at NEO Loveland. When she is not working you can find her dancing, teaching, running, hiking and snuggling her two bourse-sized pups.
