I recently took my 8 year old to Dr. Zavery's dentistry for getting two of his teeth extracted. He was very nervous and in tears on the way to the appointment. But when Dr. Zavery explained the procedure and told him that he will not feel any pain- only pressure, he calmed down. She kept talking to him throughout and was extremely patient with him. The entire experience was much better than I expected. She was amazing throughout and my son is not nervous about the next appointment for the same procedure- 2 more teeth! I cannot recommend Dr. Purvi enough!

Dr. Purvi is the best children's dentist EVER. I hate going to the dentist, and my fear borders on phobia. I had terrible dentists as a child, so I am glad that my son actually looks forward to his visits. The office is child-friendly - bright, colorful, and fun. Even though we moved to south San Jose over a year ago, we continue to make the drive up to San Carlos to see her. She is Just That Good.
