Mukherji grew up in Bay City and completed his residency in 2002 at what’s now known as UTHealth Houston.

His passion is advocating for the needs and interests of present and future general dentists.
That dedication was saluted recently in Austin as Mukherji and his longtime friend, Dr. Victor Rodriguez of Houston, owner of a dental practice in Houston and an adjunct professor at UTHealth Houston School of Dentistry, were named co-recipients of 2025 Texas Dentist of the Year at Texas Academy Awards, Texas Academy of General Dentistry’s celebratory event.
Each was honored for service to his community and the dental profession, commitment to continuing education, leadership and professional excellence.
Mukherji and Rodriguez were chosen from 13 nominees.
Dr. Hanna Lindskog, Texas AGD president, praised them for dedication to patient care, mentorship and innovation.
“Drs. Mukherji and Rodriguez motivate us all to reach higher and continue advancing the future of dentistry,” Lindskog shared in a written statement.
Mukherji, a 2001 A&M Dentistry graduate, was nominated by Fort Worth Academy of General Dentistry, where he’s a past president and former secretary/treasurer of Texas AGD.
He serves as the Region 18 director of the Academy of General Dentistry, the national organization.
Texas AGD focuses on general dentistry and has more than 2,900 members. Dentist of the Year award winners are both general dentists and specialists.
