Born and raised in Missouri City, Texas, Dr. Ashandra Batiste knew she would pursue dentistry as her passion from quite a young age. After a swimming pool accident at age 11, Dr. Batiste became inspired by her pediatric dentist who restored her smile, her spirit, and her confidence. Since then, Dr. Batiste has felt a fire to do the same for others in dentistry and in life.
Dr. Batiste attended The University of Texas where she obtained top honors from the College of Natural Sciences and a Bachelors of Science degree in Human Development and Family Sciences. During her undergraduate years, she became a member of Delta Sigma Theta, Sorority Incorporated, and served on the national board of the Pan-Hellenic Council.
She continued her education at Howard University College of Dentistry, where she not only earned a Doctorate in Dental Surgery but also became a finalist for the dental honor society, Omicron Kappa Upsilon and graduated with multiple honors as a top graduate of her class.
Through much patience, hard work, and dedication, Dr. Batiste is now the proud owner of Elite Dental Wellness in Houston. She is a standing member of the American Dental Association, Greater Houston Dental Society, Texas Academy of General Dentistry, American Academy of Cosmetic Dentists, International Implant Association, and American Association of Women Dentists.
When Dr. Batiste is not practicing her passion for dentistry, she enjoys traveling, cooking, reading, and dedicating her time to her family: her husband, Richard, and her children Avery, Logan and Quinn; as well as encouraging young women.
In her spare time, you will hear Dr. Batiste cheering her kids on the sidelines of their baseball games, football games, water polo games and swim meets. She promises that you won't miss that voice! She frequently volunteers in the youth ministry at her church and participates in health and wellness programs as often as possible to spread the urgency about the need for oral health care.
