I have to say I finally found one of the Best Dentists I have ever gone to who is fabulous! And I have anxiety disorder especially going to dentists. She was gentle, kind, caring, took time to see if I was okay while working on me. I felt no pain. And she was very professional. I wish I found her a long time ago!!
I love her!! I highly recommend her!

May 20, 2015Rob C.Verified patient
Excellent experience for a dental visit. I'm a bit of a baby and really dislike going to the dentist. Dr. Kulkarni and her staff were very friendly, professional and attentive. I left feeling very confident entrusting Dr. Kulkarni with my dental health and will definitely recommend her office to family and friends.
May 21, 2015Wendy M.Verified patient
Dr. Kulkarni was great. Very professional and thorough. I thought it was strange though that she did my cleaning and not the hygienist. Her staff seemed lazy and uninterested.
