Dr. Abedi actively participates in continuing education courses to ensure she remains up to date with the newest technological advances in dentistry. These courses are part of her commitment to providing her patients with the highest standard of care possible.

During the weekends, I usually explore the surrounding area to find new hiking trails with beautiful views of the Pacific Northwest. As an avid baker, I am always looking for new recipes to add to my collection! I also occasionally dabble in watercolor or acrylic paints to express my creative side.

I love reading murder mysteries as well as learn from self-development books, such as The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy. I spend my free time watching crime dramas, like Queen of the South or Prison Break, to name a few. My favorite hiking trail is Angels Landing at Zion National Park.

Dr. Andronova is a true believer that endodontics requires non-stop continuing education, so she regularly attends expert courses in her pursuit of excellence.
