This doctor, did not in fact listen to me and tried to push me into things without properly laying out the facts.

This provider was great! She explained to me what was wrong with my teeth and made me feel comfortable with asking questions about the treatment plan that she set up. This provider is very educated and explained in detail what I could do better to improve my oral hygiene and what she could provide me to reverse the issues I had going on with my mouth.

Overall experience when it comes to treatment, is very good however due to the setup of the office it’s not much privacy for your visit as other patients can over here your information.

The staff was friendly from start to finish. They explained everything in great detail and made me feel heard and understood before I left the office.
March 27, 2023Andre T.Verified patient
There were quite a few things that made this first time experience unpleasant for me and my children 1.) I was NOT toltolhead of time that parents are not allowed back with their children (Even if the adult will also be receiving services!) 2.) The Doctor did NOT introduce herself! (VERY STRANGE AND OFF-PUTTING TO ME!)
3.) We were not welcomed as new patients.
4.) I was NOT told ahead of time that we needed x-rays sent over from previous dentist'S imaging years ago prior to getting teeth cleaned! I DID NOT GET MY TEETH CLEANED EVEN AFTER THEY TOOK 4 BITEWING IMAGES TO CHECK FOR CAVITIES!
5.) THE DOCTOR WENT ON A TANGENT SAYING THAT IF I DIDN'T TRUST HER THEN SHE WASN'T THE RIGHT DENTIST BECAUSE SHE DOESN'T ALLOW PARENTS BACK THERE SINCE ITS TOO SMALL OF AN OFFICE AND A DISTRACTION FOR HER! THIS CAME OUT OF NOWHERE! I TOLD HER THAT EXPECTATIONS NEEDED TO BE SET AHEAD OF TIME SINCE WE ARE NEW PATIENTS AND FOUND HER ONLINE!
6.) THERE IS PLENTY MORE FOR THIS REVIEW BUT NOT ENOUGH SPACE!

Dr. Shah and her staff made for a wonderful visit. They were patient, and thorough, and listened to my needs. They helped me come up with a plan of care and were very caring and understanding.

December 20, 2022Ralph P.Verified patient
Literally the nicest dentist i've ever had.
Actually talked to me about what i had going on with my teeth and was incredibly caring and gentle. I felt something comparable to motherly love in that office. Really made me see how much my last dentist absolutely sucked in every single way lol.
September 6, 2022Paige B.Verified patient
Very clear understanding on what I needed?
August 8, 2022Brittney B.Verified patient
It was a consultation appointment. Now work (except for xrays) was performed. The dental assistant was quite personable and thorough.
July 25, 2022Barbara M.Verified patient
Honest doctor. Friendly staff.
May 2, 2022Sharon M.Verified patient
I have high anxiety when it comes to Dentist. Dr. Shah made me feel comfortable, welcomed and cared about my current dental situation. Only thing that I would recommend is cleaning my face & mouth area after the appt. I left and got to my car and noticed I had a bunch of white spot all over my mouth and face...from the temp crown mixture. Thank goodness I had a mask on.
December 23, 2021Lavon H.Verified patient
Very professional and provides good advice
December 22, 2021Blake B.Verified patient
First things first, location was perfect, easy accessible and obviously clean. They are right on the ball with you hardly any wait time. Friendly from front desk to the awesome assistants. Dr. Shah explain thoroughly what treatments were needed and the necessary care that should be addressed. is needed. I hope to make this my permanent home. Dr. Shah and co. deserves more than 5 stars!

This is a pretty bare bones operation with minimal separation between patients. You are simply separated by a filing cabinet. The woman who cleaned my teeth was incredibly kind and the staff was nice. The actual office was not up to my expectations and the main dr seemed very rushed
