“I am a long time patient of Dr. Purohit,
because she is super smart, talented, and treats each one of my teeth, and their owner, with honor and respect. She has found the ideal way to thread the needle of telling me how to be my best dental self (for instance not biting my nails) without a whiff of condescension about the fact she's talking to a health care professional in her upper 40s who bites her nails. Her dental hygienists are always very thorough and responsive to my feedback and I always leave feeling like my mouth has had a thorough tune up. Dr. Purohit is also the only dentist I've ever had who inspects my tongue and the tops of my ears, reasoning, no one else probably looks up here!
I even stayed with her when my dental insurance plan became out of network with her office. When an expensive cracked tooth occurred, she offered numerous ways to manage the payments, and the procedure didn't hurt a bit. In fact, when, with a numbed-up jaw, I accidentally chomped down on her finger, she didn't even seem to hold it against me. .
Dr. Purohit is the real deal.
Super grateful for her!

About Dr. Anita Purohit
**I am an Out of Network Provider.** This means I am not contracted with any dental insurance. We will submit claims on your behalf, including paperwork and X-rays. You will need to pay for your visit and wait for your insurance to reimburse you.
Patients often ask, "Why did you choose to become a dentist? Who wants to go to the dentist, let alone become one?" There are several reasons. One pivotal moment was in sixth grade. I had a filling coming out for about a year. Every time I chewed Juicy Fruit gum, I noticed little metal chunks. I told my dentist, but he didn't take a close look. Later, my tooth started hurting badly. My mother got me an emergency appointment with another dentist who drained an abscessed tooth immediately. The relief was instant! I was impressed that a doctor could relieve pain so quickly.
I also noticed the dental office scheduled preventive appointments to avoid future toothaches. How great is that? Seeing a doctor before you need one so you don't need one later. I thought, we may be on to something.
Dentistry combines several of my interests: helping others, advances in health care, and teeth. Plus, there's the artistic aspect of creating things and all the cool gadgets, instruments, and materials we use daily.
I earned my Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of California, San Francisco, which further fueled my passion for this incredible profession.
