About Nishtha Chauhan
I come from a town called Shimla, nestled in the lap of the Himalayan mountain range, India. Shimla, the erstwhile British summer capital, is not much different from Morgantown and that’s why on my first trip here I felt very much at home. I chose WVU School of Dentistry because I felt it will offer me the best path to what I seek to be a well-rounded Endodontist, under the guidance of a world-class faculty. My hobbies outside of dentistry are hiking, traveling and the Les Mills work outs.
