“Dr. Ankala fixed issues other dentists have simply ignored! I've had a missing sealant and some leftover residue from orthodontics that she addressed right away. She has more attention to detail (and more friendliness) than any dentist I've had.”

“Dr. Ankala was very friendly, professional and patient. She cleaned my teeth and I didn't feel any discomfort. She also explained the treatment options to me clearly and let me make my own decision. The people in the clinic were very friendly and I felt very comfortable. Will come again.”

I had the best experience. Dr. Ankala was so kind and explained everything very clearly. She continued to check in and make sure that I was comfortable. I just had a routine cleaning but it was quick, easy and pain free. The entire staff was very friendly and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend!

I had an outstanding routine cleaning experience with Dr. Lavanya Ankala and her team. The reception desk staff was incredibly friendly and efficient, ensuring a smooth check-in process with clear communication. They even offered me earlier timeslots by phone call, unfortunately I couldn't change my schedule but it shows how they care about patients' time! Dr. Ankala and her hygienist (excuse me if I misunderstood) Lucy were exceptionally professional. Their communication was clear and reassuring, also incredibly accommodating throughout my treatment. The procedure was completely painless and my teeth were feeling great and refreshing. I highly recommend Dr. Ankala and her team for their top-notch dental care and welcoming environment!
