Dr. Shridar and her staff were absolutely lovely and and incredibly competent. I was having trouble getting records from a previous provider and they were supportive in helping me obtain them. The office is also modern, very clean, and comfortable. I felt well taken care of and received great information and instruction regarding effective care of my teeth. 10/10 recommend seeing Dr. Shridar and her staff for dental needs.

Honestly, I been to my fair share of dentist and Dr. Parul is the best. She is honest, very communicative and has a great staff backing her. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would! She also has the latest technology and her offices could not be more comfortable. So happy I found her!!
January 29, 2025Nikki R.Verified patient
Terrible experience. Booked an appointment for X-rays and a cleaning. I was taken to the back, sat down for over an hour. After ninety minutes they came back and asked if I would be willing to come back another day for my cleaning. The dentist wasn’t even the one to let me know that they wouldn’t do my appointment which I booked, they sent the lady behind the front desk. Took me away from work for the day and completely wasted my time to leave without anything done. Would give a zero if possible
July 24, 2024Meghan C.Verified patient
Highly professional, the entire staff. Explained everything and pointed things that needs to be done on X-rays. My overall experience great
March 25, 2024linda YVerified patient
Did not enjoy all the electronic forms to be filled out prior to the appointment…. Much rather fill out paperwork. The staff was professional.

The best comparison is a Spa like experience with the space, options and attentive nature of all the staff.
They do their best to be gentle with equipment that is top of the line.
Equipment made for the mouth should be gentler, so to accommodate they check in with how your feeling and doing constantly!
I was able to sit back and relax despite it being the dentist office.
Most of all, I wasn’t able to have childcare and needed to bring my kids, y’all they accommodate for that as well.
Top of the line customer care, beadside manner and all around facility!

October 2, 2023Michael M.Verified patient
I recently moved to San Diego and finding the proper health care with trusted professionals is always the hardest thing but Tree of Life Dentistry has made that process so much easier. The customer service was absolutely amazing and my Dentist and her entire team were so warm and welcoming. The procedure was pain free with clear communication. Thank you Tree if Life Dentistry for making my transition smooth. I will return with my wife and children.

I was a new patient and just moving here. I was well taken care of and for choosing a new dentist, I was very pleased. I will certainly go back.
August 11, 2023Frances M.Verified patient
Dr. was very straightforward/blunt. Did not really feel like she cared all that much and didn't take any time to get to know me given it was my first appointment.
Support staff was very friendly and seemed to care more about me.

Amazing!
More than 1 year agoMV
Dr. Shridhar is a very engaging dentist, who will explain the treatments proposed, plus the reasons for her recommendations. This increased my level of comfort a lot. She has been practicing dentistry in the San Marcos and La Jolla areas for almost 5 years, and has just opened a new practice on Nordahl Road. She moved from Australia where she had practiced for 6 years. She has a gentle hand and was thorough with all the treatments she did for me. Her state of the art practice with 3d scanners, 3d printers etc. is a beautiful space, where she offers multiple dental services & procedures. Highly recommended.
