Be careful if you are using this dental practice, they are untrustworthy and dishonest. They tried to bill my insurance company several thousand dollars of work that had not been discussed with me prior to submitting the claim to my insurance company.

I always had a deep fear about dentistry which made me to avoid any dental services in more than a decade. And I am so grateful that I came across Burke Dental and Dr G when I finally had to take care of my oral health. I cannot believe how someone can be so professional and caring at the same time. He was very focused and worked hard to address my problems rather than giving unnecessary comments. The procedure was fast and painless while I was extremely comfortable. The result turned out PERFECT. I definitely recommend Burke Dental.

My whole family is going to Dr. Ghanavati. He has done an outstanding job with my mother-in-law, who does not trust and like any dentist. He was able to fix the issue and keep the cost low, which we appreciate. He does not recommend unnecessary procedures and is not trying to push you to do something unnecessary. He also made me aware of possible upcoming issues with my implant due to improper flossing and showed me how to do it correctly. He is a very patient and calm dentist who could handle my five-year-old daughter. Her issue was a loose tooth, and her pediatric dentist could not see her. He told us to bring her in early in the morning before the office opens. This would not be possible without the excellent office staff, who react fast and professionally. This office treats its patients like family.

Be careful if you are using this dental practice, they are untrustworthy and dishonest. They tried to bill my insurance company several thousand dollars of work that had not been discussed with me prior to the treatment. Also, most of the work they requested was not necessary after getting 2 other dentists to take a look. There are several other better, more trustworthy options in the same business park that won't try to steal from your insurance company.
