What do you like to do outside of the dental office?
Dr. Kurian is a big homebody, so when she isn’t at the office, you’ll almost always find her at home spending time with her husband and their son and daughter.

She loves reading suspense books as well and enjoys getting and making recommendations for her patients who are into the same genre. She has a very diverse taste in music and chooses what to listen to depending on what her body and mind feel at the moment.
