Dr. Nash was born and raised in Egypt and moved to Massachusetts in his early teens. He attended the University of Massachusetts in Amherst, MA where he graduated Magna Cum Laude in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. Dr. Nash earned his dental degree from the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine, where he was repeatedly elected by his classmates to serve as their Class President (all four years), and was chosen to serve on the university's admission committee.

Dr. Nash completed his postgraduate specialty training in Pediatric Dentistry at nationally-ranked Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC. There he received extensive training in all areas of pediatric dentistry, including craniofacial anomalies, trauma management, treating and counseling children with cleft lip and palate, as well as special needs and medically compromised patients.

In 2021, he joined the University of Maryland School of Dentistry in the Department of Pediatric Dentistry as a Dean’s Faculty. He was also a member of the Johns Hopkins Hospital Craniofacial Team where he evaluated patients with cleft lip and palate, and other craniofacial syndromes.

Fun Fact
Believe it or not, Dr. Nash's first trip to the dentist was for an emergency visit! His dentist helped take away his tooth discomfort, and that experience inspired him to become a dentist so he could help children feel better too.

Dr. Nash and his wife, Marina, moved to Greenville in 2024. They are excited to call the Upstate home and to serve the community.

Dr. Nash and Marina enjoy spending time with family and friends, global dental outreach, traveling, biking, pickleball, and spending time outdoors with their bernedoodle, Charleston.
