Hi, I’m the founder of Peachtree Dentistry. My path to becoming a dentist wasn’t exactly traditional. I started out in Electrical Engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) and spent four years working as an engineer in the nuclear industry. But over time, I realized that my true passion was in healthcare, which led me to make the switch to dentistry. I went on to earn my dental degree from VCU, and later, I completed a residency at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC).
During my time at MUSC, I worked with a variety of cases—from full mouth rehabilitation to cosmetic dentistry—and I developed a strong interest in digital dentistry, including CAD/CAM technology. I love how these modern advancements allow me to be more precise and efficient, which ultimately helps my patients achieve better results more quickly. I’m all about combining the latest innovations with a personalized, evidence-based approach to make sure each patient receives the best care possible.
As the founder of Peachtree Dentistry, I’ve created a practice where technology and compassionate care go hand in hand. It’s important to me that every patient feels listened to and understood. When I'm not working, I’m giving back by volunteering at the St. James Free Clinic in Ashland, VA, or participating in dental mission trips, like the Jamaica Project, Dental Access Day in South Carolina, and the Dental Christian Fellowship Mission in Ecuador.
I think my engineering background has really shaped how I approach dentistry. I’m detail-oriented and always looking for ways to improve, whether that’s through the use of digital advancements or simply by being present and attentive to my patients’ needs. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my dog, Milo, traveling, and making memories with my big family—especially with my two nieces and three nephews.
Dr. Pega Hajian, dds
I’m Dr. Hajian. I was born and raised in Southern California and earned my undergraduate degree from UC Irvine before completing my dental training and a General Practice Residency at UCLA, where I gained advanced experience in comprehensive patient care.
I chose dentistry because it brings together all of my favorite things — my love of science and healthcare, working with my hands, and being creative. I’m passionate about creating a comfortable and positive experience for every patient I meet, and I strive to make sure you leave with a smile on your face. I truly enjoy getting to know my patients and feel grateful to be able to care for them. Whether it’s routine care, relieving pain, or improving your smile, I take great pride in providing high-quality, comprehensive dental care while treating every patient like family.
Outside of the office, I love spending time with my husband, daughter, and our sweet dog, Kiki. On the weekends, you’ll usually find me at the beach, curled up with a good book, or enjoying family time outdoors while exploring Richmond. I also love to travel, and my lifetime goal is to visit all seven continents!
