Dr. Desai was great as usual. I told her that my bite was weird from my last crown and she promptly fixed it right on the spot. She also noticed that I needed some filling redone and she was able to get me squeezed in at my next appointment. Her bedside manner was great too, as I hate needles and drills.
She did an incredible job!! Best dentist Ive ever had. I felt comfortable with her and she did a great job explaining everything that was going on with my teeth.
It was nice to have the same dentist with my regular follow ups.
Both of them was phenomenal.

kind and gentle and numb the area because of the puffness
Dr Desai is a class act, she is very professional, & has excellent communications skills with her patients,
All around great!
never had a problem with the dentists
Since coming to dental associates, I have been more confident in treatment/visits as I had been having nothing but issues with my last dentist. Unlike a medical doctor since coming to dental associates, I have not been seeing a particular dentist for any length of time as it was either a quick cleaning/x-rays and a quick check by whichever doctor was in that day or never had major issues to routinely see a dentist and to really get to know one dentist in my care.
Dr. Desai is the third dentist Ive had fill cavities, and she is by far the best. When I had pain, she resolved it quickly and explained the cause.
The dentist was very clear, and made sure I understood everything, that needs to be done.
The dentist explained what she was going to do.
She did very good.
At first I questioned the procedure when fillings would fall out, but was reassured and one expense voided.
Never had such pain free work done.
Staff was awesome and very understanding and helpful.
I liked the dentist very much, just by her technique I could tell she was very skilled and knowledgable
very personable
During the exam, everything went fine. I was told that I would be numb for about an hour after I left. I was numb 3 hours + afterwards and that's not an exaggeration. The area that was numbed was also sore even the next day. On top of that, the tooth that was filled feels rough instead of smooth. I have never had this problem before and I have unfortunately had lots of work done over the years. I plan on addressing this my next visit. I like her and want to give her a fair chance.
dentist and team were just out standing
dentist was awesome. really top notch
Excellent
was there for a cleaning but the DR came in to look at a concern of mine.
This was my first cavity and she made me feel much better about crying through the whole thing.
the dentist was very patient with me
I was advised that I have infection in root canal. when I asked for antibiotic. they refused to prescribe one without giving reason. also I asked for pain med prescription. because I was in a lot of pain. she refused. I had to call dentist at other locations who is pulling teeth to prescribe pain meds.
I came in for a filling I loose at least once a year and she put me thru a fupp xray and exam and after she did the exam she was going to let me go without the filling
