Dr. Bonnie Feldman, DDS is a contributing medical reviewer for Bristle. She received her DDS and MBA from UCLA. She has always taken a holistic approach to oral health, initially as a practicing clinical dentist and later as a Wall Street analyst, creating one of the first investment bank dental franchises at Sutro & Co. She founded Autoimmune Connect in 2012 and leads a team striving to create a digitally connected world of personalized care for autoimmune patients, with special focus on the oral microbiome. She envisions a future where oral health becomes “oral well-being” so that dental visits become preventative check-ups for diseases beyond the mouth.
