Dr. Klavdiya Usheva, DMD, FAGD
General Dentist
Dr. Klavy Usheva grew up in Friendswood. She met Dr. Molloy as a patient at eleven years old and immediately decided she wanted to grow up to be a great dentist just like him. In high school, she shadowed him in the office during the summers and quizzed him on dental terminology so she could prepare for the Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) dental terminology competition.
She graduated from the University of Texas at Austin with a BS in Cell and Molecular Biology in three years, and then she earned her Doctorate of Dental Medicine at the University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine. She furthered her dental education with a general practice residency at St. Francis Hospital in Hartford, CT. In 2024, she earned her fellowship in general dentistry (FAGD) with the Academy of General Dentistry and will officially walk the stage at graduation later this summer.
After more than enough East Coast winters, Dr. Klavy moved back to Texas in 2018 and has been working as a dentist for her local community since then. Besides dentistry, her other passions include playing tennis, baking, reading and going on adventures with her bernedoodle Fitz.
