“The doctors were both very informal and professional and bedside manner was great. The receptionist were so accommodating to have my visits done in the same day before my insurance ran out. So happy I found them!”

They didn't have any communication about my appointment. The treatment was unsuccessful, broken root while extraction.

The doctor is quite nice. Professional and while she appears cute and innocent she is patient and professional.

During my appointment, the doctor kept referring to me as "the patient" when speaking directly to me. When asked for my medical history, I was asked multiple questions about my mental health that had nothing to do with the service and then I was pushed to accept multiple additional services. When I refused, the staff and doctor tried to just convince me repeatedly.
The only good part of my visit was the woman who did my x-rays. She was great. Past that, it was the worst time I've ever had at a dentist's office. I would never go back.

April 22, 2017Nana E.Verified patient
The hygienist was great. I hadn't been to the dentist for a couple years so I needed a deep cleaning, a more intense cleaning that requires anesthesic. I was a little nervous because of the need for anesthesic and the fact that it takes two sessions. I was worried it would be very painful. She was very careful and explained everything that was happening. I took a couple Advil when I returned home, just in case. I have only very mild irritation, much like with a normal cleaning.
I addition to the excellent care provided by the hygienist, the office staff were very friendly and helpful. I was running late due to traffic. When I called to let them know they were pleasant and understanding and we're still able to honor my appointment even though I was late. Others doctors would cancel and charge you a few, but they were very helpful and considerate.

Very pleasant and professional.
February 13, 2016Jared C.Verified patient
Didn't seem very friendly, a bit confrontational, not very willing to accommodate my desire to get a crown instead of a cheaper bonded cap. Moreover, seemed in a rush to get my fillings and bond done, and when finished didn't present a mirror to see the job that was done. As such when I got home and looked at it, the final bonding layer was shorter than the adjacent incisor.

Very well maintaned office. For cleanup, I have been to Dr. Kulkarni's office twice now and will continue to visit her periodically. She wasn't in the office first time and a doctor covering for her saw me. 2nd time she was the one who saw me. She was professional and told me to do the regular floss and brush twice a day and sent me on my way.

Dr. Kulkarni replaced a temporary filling with a temporary crown. I found her chairside manner professional and proficient. I would recommend the Doctor to anyone needing dental work.

Very pleasant, made my children feel comfortable. All staff greeted upon entrance and offered kids crayons and coloring books making them feel welcomed.
July 15, 2015Anelese K.Verified patient
My visit was at the North Brunswick location, the Staff were very pleasant and helpful. My Dentist at this location is Dr. Paul who was outstanding on all levels. He engages in conversation with you and keeps you informed of what's going on, which I very much appreciated. He has many years of experience and cares about his patients.
July 18, 2015Steven M.Verified patient
Dr. Kulkarni was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable. She was gentle and took time to explain exactly what was needed to have healthy teeth and gums. The entire appointment was everyones idea of how any doctor's appointment should be.

I was very satisfied by the work done by Dr. Sita Kulkarni. She was thorough and gentle, and explained information in detail. I feel if she approached first time patients by introducing herself and took time to know a little about the patient, it will add to her excellent work skills. Overall good experience.

She was really professional, but seemed like she was in a big rush. Didn't get much advice from her about how to maintain my oral health
December 9, 2014Initials hidden
She is a proficient and efficient dentist. Her bedside manner could be better in that she doesn't really explain to you what she is doing, which I prefer. The office staff is very nice and helpful and despite the wait the staff and efficiency of the dentist keep me going back.

I was very pleased with the entire experience. The staff was very pleasant and attentive. I really like the nurse! The check out was hassle free. I am so going back. I even set up an appoint my for my daughter. Truly NO PAIN!
More than 1 year agoNorma B.Verified patient
My appointment got postponed three times, after which I decided I would go elsewhere. I got a call back from the office and they apologized - So I scheduled the appointment again for the fourth time. Between the time I made the first call to the appointment, I was called four different times asking for my insurance information. One of these times I was even called back and told that my insurance didn't cover me. I patiently gave the person my information again, and she confirmed that it was correct on file and that she would call the insurance company again to check. Anyway, I arrived 10 minutes prior to my appointment to do any necessary paperwork. This is when I learned that no one had called the insurance company to confirm my eligibility. So I repeated my information again, while the person in the front desk called the company. I was called in for my check up 20 minutes after the appointment. The dentist did do a thorough job and I was very satisfied by her work. Just as a FYI, I was asked to pay for the balance of what my insurance covers immediately after the service was rendered. Other dental offices I've been to in the past usually just send us the bill home. Bottom line - given the inconvenience caused and the redundancy of information asked unnecessarily - I suggest the office better get their ducks in a row in terms of paperwork and organization. If friends ask, I would recommend the dentist, however, the overall experience - not so much.

Excellent, the office is comfortable, modest AND state of the art!
Dr. Sita is professional, thorough, communicates all dental issues effectively and takes her time as she does her job with her patient's well-being in mind.
