About Dr. Vaibhav Harkare

Dental Surgeon | Healthcare Administrator | Healthcare Strategist With over 19 years of experience spanning clinical dentistry and healthcare administration, I bring together a distinctive combination of clinical expertise, strategic insight, and patient-centric leadership. My professional philosophy is rooted in the belief that exceptional healthcare goes beyond clinical outcomes. It is equally about building trust, ensuring transparency, enhancing patient experiences, and creating lasting relationships through ethical and compassionate care. I completed my Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from Sharad Pawar Dental College, Wardha, affiliated with Maharashtra University of Health Sciences (MUHS), in 2008. Recognising the importance of effective healthcare systems and hospital leadership, I further pursued Hospital Administration at the Indian Institute of Health Management Research (IIHMR), Bangalore, in 2009. In 2013, driven by my passion for ethical dentistry and quality patient care, I co-founded Shree Dental Clinic, Bhosari, establishing a practice built on clinical integrity, patient confidence, and personalised treatment. Continuing this journey of clinical excellence and patient-focused dentistry, I am now shaping Tooth Stories Dental Clinic, Moshi, with a vision of creating a premium dental care destination that combines modern dental practices, personalised treatment experiences, and uncompromising standards of care. Beyond clinical dentistry, my understanding of hospital administration has enabled me to develop a broader perspective on healthcare delivery, quality management, operational excellence, and patient experience. For me, healthcare is not merely a profession; it is a commitment to making every patient feel informed, valued, and confident. My journey continues to be guided by three enduring principles: Trust, Excellence, and Long-term Wellness.
