Verified patient
She was in a rush to head to her other office and was very fast and sloppy with my cleaning. The water was dripping down my neck, and she didn’t even floss my teeth afterwards. When I got home And checked I still had tartar build up.
Dr. Shah was very nice, she took her time and explained everything in detail in my best interest. She was informative and kind.

They're kind and fast with their work
Verified patient
Didn’t address the issues I was experiencing and seemed very money oriented. Decent bed manner but I waited nearly an hour just to be seen for 15 minutes
Love her
Verified patient
I was looking forward to my appointment because this dentist has good reviews and the staff I spoke to over the phone were very nice and professional. I was also taken in right away no wait time. But the cleaning lasted less than a minute. It was a waste of my time because she didn’t even attempt to clean all my teeth in my mouth. I can still feel tardar around my teeth. Also because she was rushing she hurt my gums. This is the first time I’ve been to a dentist and not walk out of the office with that clean teeth feeling you look forward to. I believe that she was rushing because there was another patient. I was double booked which is what happens if you book through Zocdoc. This dentist should be reported to the insurance company.
She violated my patient confidentiality by talking to me with doors open then going back to her worker and stating that she would inform them about her feelings once I left the building and then stated that I was the worst first impression she had in her career...
Verified patient
She’s great. Amazing bedside manner. Everyone in the office was a great help and very friendly. I am very anxious when it comes to dental work and they all were great with helping me feel relaxed.

Dr. Shah patiently listened to my problems, analysed the situation and explained to me what needs to be done. She explained the insurance obligations and out of pocket costs. I was relieved off the pain and am glad that I went to her office.
Verified patient
Great!!!!
Verified patient
I think the doctor is very thoughtful, patient, and forthcoming. Although I was not accustomed to re-used mouth pieces to get x-rays for my teeth. They were very accommodating because I really was not comfortable with using the re-used mouth pieces.
Verified patient
It was the best dental experience I had Darshini actually explains what’s she’s doing and why. All the other Dentist I been going through Just do what they doing and I have no clue what’s going on I will definitely go back.
Verified patient
Great!! Explained step by step what would be happening and staff was extremely helpful with all the questions I had. I will be returning.
Verified patient
Dr Darshini Shah and her staff were very nice and made me feel welcomed. This was my first time at her office and it went great.
Verified patient
My friend referred me to Dr. Shah for a 2nd opinion on a chipped tooth. I was given a detailed explanation and thorough exam, as well as a temporary treatment for the tooth until the next appointment. My previous dentist did not explain what was wrong with my broken tooth and did not offer any alternative treatments besides a root canal.
Verified patient
Dr. Shah has been doing a fabulous job in taking care of our whole family. We have been their patients for years. We use her services for annual check-ups and any immediate needs, kids sometimes get cavities, I got a few root canals and crowns from her. Our last visit, we had annual check-up and cleaning for the whole family. She took care of some cavities for my kids as well. My kids are quite comfortable with her since she is very professional and friendly as well.
