I was searching high and low for a dentist to take care of me using Medicaid and look no further. They did a tremendous amount of work on me for no out of pocket cost. And they were actually gentle while doing it!!

I had a very positive experience--I was able to make an appointment in a reasonable time and when it became necessary to have a molar extracted, Dr. Sakshi did a great job. I expected pain and was relieved at how easy and pain free it was!

The worst dentist experience I ever had. Complete disregard for people's time. I came in for a 2:30pm appointment, left at 3:22 without seeing the dentist. There is a reason why their rating is so low on google review.

I was very happy with Dr. Sakshi's dental care. She listened to all my concerns, she was thorough in her analysis of my x-rays, she did my teeth cleaning herself, she was gentle and kept checking on my comfort level, and most importantly I did not experience pain.
