Dr. Morgan Palya is a native of Southwestern Pennsylvania. She went to Washington & Jefferson College for her undergraduate degree where she majored in Cell/Molecular biology and was a member of the women’s soccer team. Dr. Palya went on to earn her DMD from the University of Pittsburgh. During her time at Pitt she served as one of the first female Grand Masters of the fraternity Delta Sigma Delta.
Upon graduation, she completed an intensive general practice residency program at the Veterans Affairs Hospital in Pittsburgh, PA. It was at this residency that Dr. Palya fell in love with the practice of endodontics.

When Dr. Palya is not at work she loves to get outdoors. She enjoys cycling, running, reading new books, learning new things (currently she’s learning to speak Spanish and play the ukulele). She also loves spending time with her partner, family, and friends. Dr. Palya can be identified by her spirited, albeit off-key, singing.
Dr. Palya understands that seeking treatment for a root canal can be stressful, that is why she always goes the extra mile to make sure her patients are well informed and feel comfortable.
