Dr. Sindy Goodman was raised in the Metro Detroit area. She has a passion for learning and higher education as evidenced by her four degrees. First, she earned a Bachelor of Science in Biology in two and a half years at the age of 20 from the University of Michigan. She continued her educational journey by receiving a Doctorate in Dental Surgery and was immediately invited to join the faculty at the University of Michigan School of Dentistry full time.

Next, she went on to complete a graduate residency at St. Louis University, where she earned a Master of Science degree in Orthodontics and met her classmate and future husband and business partner, Dr. Robert W. Goodman. After 18 years in practice and while practicing full time, Dr. Goodman returned to UM Ross School of Business to earn an Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) with high distinction. She is a member of the prestigious business school honor society, Beta Gamma Sigma.

I was born in the great city of Windsor, Ontario. I moved to Ann Arbor when I was 5, Denver when I was 12, and San Francisco when I was 18 after finishing high school. There, I completed the University of the Pacific’s 6-year accelerated dental program. After finishing dental school at UoP, I found myself back in Michigan once again when I matched into residency at Detroit Medical Center for Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery and graduated in June 2023. I love to perform full-scope Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery including dentoalveolar surgery, orthognathic surgery, facial trauma surgery, and pathology and reconstruction.

I am a wildlife fanatic and lived and worked in South Africa for a year raising rescued lion, tiger, and cheetah cubs at a wildlife reserve in Krugersdorp near the city of Johannesburg. I also have somewhat of a wildlife reserve of my own at home and am the proud father of two baby parrots.

I’m a petrolhead and love cars (both driving and admiring), cooking (my grandpa was a chef and taught me growing up), and playing my flamenco & classical guitar. I’m a mixed martial artist and have been training in MMA for over a decade, though my current profession has put some delicate brakes on my competitive participation in that. I look forward to the opportunity of using my training to assist in any way I can.

Dr. Harville is dedicated to providing compassionate, patient-centered care, prioritizing comfort and education for each individual she serves.

Dr. Rayyan Jaber - a Michigan native - graduated from University of Detroit Mercy School of Dentistry, where she earned her Doctor of Dental Surgery degree. She spent a lot of her time volunteering at hospitals and schools, and grew to love working with children. Dr. Jaber completed her Pediatric Dentistry Residency at Children’s Hospital of Michigan, where she was given the opportunity to care for and provide treatment for children of all ages and of all medical backgrounds, using both basic and advanced behavior guidance techniques. Dr. Jaber's goal is to make each patient’s experience a positive one and to help parents and children grow to develop positive oral habits with lifelong impacts. She hopes to create a fun, safe and comfortable environment for our children, where she and her team are able to successfully and efficiently achieve and maintain oral care.

Dr. Jaber is an active member of the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry, the American Dental Association, and the Michigan Dental Association. When she is not having fun with our kiddos and fighting "sugar bugs”, she is hanging out with her friends and family, among them many nieces and nephews. Dr. Jaber loves to travel in her spare time, try out new food, shop, and read.

Dr. Jaber cannot wait to meet you and your little ones and is grateful to be a part of their dental journey.
