Meena Shah is the best dentist I've ever been to. You can really talk to her and she is a true artist with her work.

I was pretty concerned after making an appointment and then seeing some of the bad ratings, but I personally had a good experience overall. I didn't really see what people were complaining about so much as far as the office being dirty. I felt like my cleaning could have been a little more thorough. Dr Shah, did suggest an antibiotic treatment, but did not press me when I politely declined. On the whole I think people are being a little harsh with their reviews.

listen.. if you can find another dentist, please do. Dr. Meena Shah will drill in your teeth purposely, do shoddy dental work that will need revision and make you pay for things you do not need. not to mention the 1.5 hour wait time tops... dont come here , I regret going to this place, She will tell you things that you don't need just to get your money, DO NOT GO HERE!!!!!

Dr.Meena Shah doesn't leave a single instant of snatching money from her pts. I went to her office 3 weeks pregnant with a very bad tooth ache. She goes that there is nothing she can do and that i need a potential root canal. I being desperate told her if she could do it since the pain was unbearable. She goes to me that i will start the process for 400 and in between you come in for dressing change for 150 and i put cap after you deliver. However, once she goes in all she does is pulp cap and cavity which btw was covered by my insurance. The next thing you know is that i end up with the worst pain of my life and i ended up in the Er. The next day i had to get emergency root canal and the dentist told me that whoever did the work on you had no clue what they were doing. I am extremely shocked with the behavior and all the reviews here make perfect sense. I don't understand why this place is running in the first place. Planning on getting the money back or i will file the lawsuit

I made an appointment with this dentist through my health insurance and I have nothing but GREAT things to say! The office is clean, modern and all employees are very professional. However I did wait almost 2 hours to be seen but once I did doctor Shah took her time. She gave me the best options of how to take care of my teeth and next steps. I've been searching for a dentist who would take pride in their job and she exceeded my expectations. They had all materials to guide you with dental care and I'll continue coming back! Thank you Dr. Shah.

I tried this practice after being recommended by a friend. My experience was different to the majority of the reviews. The clinic appeared clean when I was there and the hygienist was excellent at cleaning my teeth - the best I had in a while. Dr Meena Shah was good and seemed quite honest to me. Only thing though is that she happily applied four courses of antibiotics instead of two to tackle a gum infection without too much discussion. At $60/ application, it's not that cheap. Apart from that, it was a pleasant experience.

Everything about this dentist stinks, and she literally smells from an unpleasant mixture of pungent body oil and b.o. I had to immediately shower and change clothes afterward. Was there for 2 hours. Have never in 50 yrs had a cleaning prior to an exam, esp when I expressly came for a broken tooth, but here you do, so they can bill insurance, no doubt. Was charged $650 out of pocket for 3 core buildups that will not last and don't address issues. To do 3 took an abnormally fast period of time. They don't feel done correctly and one now has a chip in front I can see. Was told one would be $150 then she changed mind to $250 a few min later, which really rubbed me the wrong way. Asked her if she saw any cavities, she responded I had too many crowns to tell. I do have 7 of my own teeth in my mouth but she can't tell if they have cavities from her xrays?? Waiting room very crowded, no Covid distance protocol. I'd stay away from here even if she claims to take your insurance. It's a rip off. I know what a good dentist is, she is not.

The reviews are true, place is dingy and the Dr will try to scam you with some out of pocket payment for something you dont need. Dr Meena, please have some self respect, clean that place and be a professional instead of scamming people

(Translated by Google) It is the dirtiest center I have ever seen and the service is horrible. They have no attention ... he would never let me attend to anyone there. Even the resectionist is a horrible undesirable. (Original) Es el centro mas sucio que he visto y el servicio es horrible. No tienen atenciones... jamas me dejaria atender por nadie ahi. Hasta la reseccionista es una indeseable horrible.

Every negative review on this establishment is all true!! Save your time and money and do not see this DDS. She is unprofessional and the only thing she cares about is charging you with no work being done. I took my 75 years old mother there as a referral and she did absolutely nothing but wasted our time. Continued to scheduled appointments and the only thing she did was continued to charge. She stood with my mom deposit of $350 and again did absolutely nothing!! She deserves no stars!!! Had to give her one just to be able to post

So bad. The office and exam room are filthy. I had a tooth for which I needed assistance, and Meena Shaw said, "that's too hard, I can't do that one". She then charged me $400 out of pocket, for bonding on other teeth, which she swore I needed. Two months later, it's all chipping off. So, not only did she not fix my bad tooth, but she ruined my good teeth. Avoid this woman like the plague. I'm going to file a malpractice suit.

Not a very good experience, no social distancing in the place people tried to distance themselves but the place was too small and cramped, this was the dirtiest dental office i have ever seen the floors were filthy as was the boarder under the front desk, as i first looked around i felt uncomfortable about this place and could tell Dr. Shah was out for just the money when i did go in the dental area i was appalled at the condition of the place dirty floors and sinks and after every patient assistant called herself wiping down the chair with a dirty rag she used for each person and the mop she used looked pretty dry to me and cleaned nothing she prepped the room with ungloved hands that alone told me to high tail it out of there and never come back, beware of this one go at your own risk.

This place is the GRIMIEST dentist I have EVER been to. I actually was cracking up in disbelief after I left the office after about TWO HOURS of waiting and a botched 10 minute cleaning. The man who did my x-rays was very nice, but the office is extremely dirty. I was actually appalled by how dirty the ground was around my cot. Plus side: there was a back massager on the cot. Downside: I could FEEL the dirt around me. There was a literal dent in the wall, visible dust and dirt, and cracked ceilings with faded tiles that had pictures of blue skies and palm trees. However, the pictures were all faded and yellowing. Even the *entrance* was dirty. How do you manage to have every inch of this place totally dirty? My mouth didn't even feel clean afterwards. Please don't go here. As my mother told me on the way out: "I'm so sorry, never again."
