Born and raised in India, I completed 5 years of Bachelors of Dentistry in 2008. Following this, I also completed 3 years of specialty training with Oral Medicine and Radiology from Rajasthan, India in 2013. My specialty training made me adept at the skill of diagnosing various oro-dental conditions including but not limited to TMJ disorders, Oral cancer, auto-immune disorders and formulating treatment plans for the same. I also developed great skill with various imaging modalities of the oral and maxillo-facial region. After working in private practice for one year, I concluded my dental education in the USA by successfully completing the DDS program from The University of Michigan, Ann Arbor in 2017. While in dental school, I also completed 1 year of advanced training with Oral surgery.
Within Dentistry my current interests include comprehensive dental care for my patients and formulating individualized treatment plans to achieve the best possible and long lasting outcomes. I pride myself on superior patient and community service. I am passionate about dentistry and treat each patient like I would treat my family.

This is hands down the best dentist office I have been to. I have always struggled with anxiety regarding dental visits. Dr. Herschel has been nothing but patient, kind, and understanding with my fears. He always takes time to explain procedures, outcomes, and to help create a long term plan for the work I need. I can't see myself going anywhere else. My daughter sees Dr. Vin, and she absolutely loves him and his assistant. She actually enjoys her visits (crazy I know, but true!). Take had quite a few fillings to do and they always made sure she was comfortable before and during procedures. I am grateful to the entire office for being so welcoming and helpful!

In the words of Al Bundy "I'm a grown man, of course I'm scared to go to the dentist". I have been there several times in the last year and am no longer scared of the dentist! The whole staff is awesome, and Kim is soo smooth I could go to sleep with her working on my teeth.

I wouldn't recommend this dentist office. They really did nothing for me.Told me also that it would be 7 months to even clean my teeth. My new office got me right in for a cleaning. I found a new place to go and I love it.

I can not say enough good things about Gentle Caring Dentistry. I have been terrified of dentists for years and after coming here, those fears have subsided. Dr. Hersheal was calm with me, explained everything thoroughly, and never pushed me to do anything I was scared to do. I HIGHLY recommend Gentle Caring Dentistry!
