I have been going to Dr Kalandoor for 5 years now for fillings, caps, cleaning. It has always been a pleasant experience. She does give apt amount of time and care on all the procedures and I would continue going to her as far as I am in Bay Area. A good 5 star from me.

Dr. Mangala Kalandoor has been our family dentist for the past 10 years now. She provides the best treatment options, and flexible timings. She is very kids friendly and knowledgeable. She is the best dentist I have known so far and would recommend her for your dentistry needs.

I was referred by my relative. I have to say that they offer not only the best treatment but also the best service. Price? I did 5 fillings for $50, no kidding. The people here never pushed me. They let me know about the issues. What need to be taken care of immediately, and what are optional. They also made a plan for me about how to use my insurance. That's how i end up paid $50 from my pocket for 5 fillings. Btw my insurance covers maybe $2000 for fillings, which means it should be affordable even without insurance. The people here are very skilful as well. I barely felt only a little uncomfortable drung the process. They num your skin with num gel first before give you the num shot, so you don't really feel anything at all. They are friendly too. I did not feel any presure talking to them. I felt they really wanna help me instead of taking every last penny from my pocket.

Save yourself time, DON'T GO TO THIS DENTIST. Not recommendable. After a cleanse, my teeth were still full of plaque. I went on a whim, basing myself on yelp reviews. Overall it sounded good, right? Not a good experience. Right of the bat they started cleaning my teeth, but not like other dentist usually do that they go teeth by teeth checking & cleaning. It just seemed like a brush really, and then the dr. assistant polished with a paste, and did some X rays, which is normal. They told me I had a few cavities, and that I could get them fixed later that afternoon - who would turn that away, right? Immediate fix! But I really didn't feel secure with the cleanse by itself, let alone fixing and filling cavities. I found another dentist recommended by a family member, which I know is going to be good, but they asked me to get the X rays I got done with Dr. Kalandoor. According to the law I should have access to these, no problem. I called them to ask them to forward the Xrays to my new dentist and they want to charge me. I didn't sign ANYTHING saying I had to pay to get my OWN dental record, but now in order to get my X rays I have to pay. How wasn't this communicated when I first entered the office and signed all the paperwork?! Ridiculous, even my new dentist says so.

Found Dr. Kalandoor via denti-cal's list of referrals. Her receptionist Melina was the only receptionist/person to answer their calls after days of trying to find someone, I've had what I think is a dental emergency since Saturday, was seen at a Western Dental & their service was..ugh I've already left my review on them. Anyways, I got lucky today, parking lot was clean, they're on the 2nd floor, there's an elevator. 1st impression of their office was clean & quiet. Wasn't able to get the assistant's name but she was nice, was patient with me even with my pain. Met Dr. Kalandoor who took the time to introduce herself, get my name down right, reminded me of my dentist when I was younger, cleaning didn't long at all, and I liked that I could see her screen which helped as she was explaining what work needed to be done. I have an infection that Western Dental didn't tell me I had & she prescribed me some antibiotics. Everything she told me I had forgotten when I got to the front so I had to ask her again, she seemed not irritated but she was like "I told you everything & I think you forgot" which I did, cause I don't know my dentist terms & I just wanted to make sure that I got everything right, that's it... a minor hiccup not worth taking away a star over. My teeth feel cleaner, quick & their staff was nice. Thanks Melina for answering my call.
