Originally from New York, Dr. Mahbub earned her Bachelor of Science in Cell and Developmental Biology from the University of Rochester. Her passion for the life sciences and patient care led her to pursue dentistry at Stony Brook University School of Dental Medicine, where she earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree. She continued her advanced education at Stony Brook, completing her specialty training in Periodontics with a focus on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of periodontal disease, as well as soft and hard tissue augmentation and placement of dental implants.

Outside the clinic, Dr. Mahbub enjoys spending her free time taking long walks by the Baltimore harbor with her husband — usually with an ice cream in hand, thanks to her well-known sweet tooth.
