A Presidential Scholar and honors graduate of the University of Indonesia, she continued her dental journey in the United States, completing orthodontic training at both New York University and the University of Michigan.
In Rochester, she earned her Advanced Education in General Dentistry, followed by a fellowship in Complex Care and Pediatric Dentistry, and specialist certification in Pediatric Dentistry at the University of Rochester’s Eastman Institute for Oral Health. She also pursued advanced training in Leadership Education in Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (LEND) at Strong Memorial Hospital—deepening her passion for caring for children with special needs.

Now proud to call Rochester home, Dr. Sari enjoys life with her husband, their two children—Nadia and Aidan—a cat named Oliver, and a therapy dog, Milo, who brings smiles to patients at Westfall Dental Studio. Outside the office, she finds joy in music (piano, harp, cello, and ukulele), cooking, baking, pottery, woodworking, traveling, and giving back through community service
