Dr Dhanani and his whole staff are amazing. Dr Dhanani is always concerned with the health and well being of his patients. All oral care is explained and done professionally. I'm always amazed at his knowledge and abilities. I never need any unnecessary dental work because of their attention to my oral health. Any dental work done is only as necessary and done with exceptional care. His dental work is beyond compare. I cannot put into words how thankful I am to have found Dr Dhanani. I've been a patient for many years and drive 40 minutes and would drive over an hour to go to this office if I had to.

Thanks dr dhanani for taking care of my recent dental issue quickly and without issue. Also thanks Sandra with my hygiene appointments. My issues with my gum diseases have greatly subsided since you helping me Sandra. Very nice staff, friendly environment and easy to work in appointments around my sometimes hectic schedule. Glad also that the office accepts my insurance, especially with recent changes to my plan.

(Translated by Google) I have been a patient of Dr. Dhanani for seven years and he has been the best dentist I have ever had. His professionalism and dedication are without a doubt second to none. Yesterday I had a Hygiene Appointment with Sandra and I love her dedication to her work, the crowns that Dr. Dhanani put on me have more than the expected duration and are still in very good condition. Without a doubt, he and his team are the best. (Original) Hace siete anos que soy paciente del Dr. Dhanani y ha sido el mejor dentista que he tenido. Su profesionalismo y dedicacion son sin lugar a dudas inigualable. Ayer tuve Cita de higiene con sandra y me encanta con la dedicacion que hace su trabajo, las coronas que el Dr. Dhanani me puso tienen mas del tiempo de expectativa de duracion y siguen en muy buen estado. Sin lugar a dudas el y su equipo son los mejores.

I was a patient of dr dhanani's for about 2 or so years. throughout this span of time, I had AT LEAST 15 fillings done, maybe even 20. it never made sense to me considering that I always kept up with oral hygiene 2x daily. the last time I saw dr dhanani, like many visits, he told me I had 6 or so cavities. I decided to get a second opinion this time, and it turns out I had NO cavities. and HAVENT in 4 years since I last saw him!!! he WITHOUT A DOUBT over treated my mouth an obsessive amount of times so that he can put more money in his pockets by insurance providers. what this led to: - very large, hideous black fillings in my mouth - two root canals, two root canal re-treatments, two crowns before the age of 21 - tooth extraction of the largest molar in my mouth, & I'll definitely need 2-3 more throughout the next 10 years. loss of major teeth like this can sometimes = shorter life span, especially with several molars, such as in my circumstance - loosing 60% of tooth structure on another molar due to insanely large filling. this tooth will probably need to be extracted within the next year, as I'm starting to regain sensitivity even though I had a crown placed on this tooth not too long ago - across the 2 root canal re-treatments and extraction, I had 3 surgeries that left my entire face swollen for 1 week plus. I've had at least 30 dentist visits in the past 4 or so years since seeing dr dhanani, and have put hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars into these visits due to dr dhanani over treating my mouth for his own financial benefits - over $5,000 in teeth related procedures to date, & definitely $15,000 more in next 10 years as I'll need at least 2 more extractions & 3 implants - as well as filling replacements, sinus bump treatment (for my implants), etc - major decrease in confidence due to very messed up teeth. I've been without a molar for 1 year, had half of tooth structure on molar right next to extracted molar for 1 year, very large black fillings, etc
