Dr. Payam Amirsayafi has one simple belief, every kid should enjoy going to the dentist! His priority is to make every child feel comfortable and welcome. He wants each visit to be a fun and crazy adventure that not only will leave your child smiling but will also leave you happy and excited! When’s the last time that’s happened to you at the dentist?
Dr. Payam loves apples and has in fact been eating at least one apple a day since he was a child. Although he has never missed an apple-eating day, he has eaten more than one apple on numerous occasions. If you ask his mom, you might end up with some exotic numbers. You can probably guess what inspired the name of his practice!
In addition to being a super fun, apple-loving guy, Dr. Payam is also a highly qualified pediatric dentist. Check out his educational background and professional references:
- Earned his Doctor in Dental Surgery in 2000 and completed his two-year Advanced Pediatric Dentistry Certificate Program at Tufts School of Dental Medicine in 2011
- Certified in sedation services

When he's not in the office you can find Dr. Payam running, biking and swimming to prepare for upcoming marathons or triathlons. In 2015 Dr. Payam became part of the elite club of IRONMAN finishers! He has completed 6 IRONMAN races thus far. Those consist of 2 IRONMAN Maryland races, 1 in Lake Placid IRONMAN- which had an over 7000 ft elevation change, 1 in Texas, 1 in Cozumel and 1 in Arizona. Wow!
Dr. Payam moved to Virginia in 2011 with his wife Leyla. His favorite song is “Layla” by Eric Clapton, in honor of her. Just in case you’ve never heard it before, here’s a video of Eric performing “Layla” live. Be careful, you may start dancing around the room once you hit play!
In April 2017, Dr. Payam and his wife welcomed little Liam to the family. Then they were surprised with another bundle of joy, Luca in March of 2021! Dr. Payam and his wife are deeply enjoying their new life as a family of 4!
