Dr. Mindy Benjamini is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania dental school. She has been practicing dentistry for over 20 years and currently has her own private practice in Narberth, PA that she began in 2012. As with many businesses, the Pandemic brought her practice to a complete halt in March of 2020. She knew that she needed to figure out a way to treat her patients in a safe environment and bring her staff back to work. During that period of time, she designed the PatientsShield so that she could return to her passion of dentistry while keeping her patients, staff and family safe. Plus, staying home with four children was not in her plans! Today she is back at work after she designed, manufactured, tested, marketed, and sold other dentists the PatientsShield.
