Dr. Tatyana Furman studied biology at the University of Louisville and, after taking an undergraduate preview dentistry class, became fascinated with the artistry of dentistry. She graduated from the University of Louisville School of Dentistry and has been practicing her art for almost 20 years. Dr. Furman is originally from Ulyanovsk, Russia, where her mother was a medical doctor and helped shape her decision to  find a career in the medical field.

She says what she enjoys most about dentistry is helping people to improve their smiles and overall health by improving their dental health. She admits to having a kind and gentle approach and loves explaining treatment options and educating the patient on why treatment is needed. Dr. Furman has been married for over 25 years, has two wonderful daughters and a large extended family.  In her free time, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, traveling, cooking — especially baking bread — hiking with the family dog, reading and practicing yoga.
