“The front desk receptionist was unprofessional and negative in her interaction with myself a first time patient, however the excellency of the dentist and his assistant was a welcomed contrast. And are the reason I must give a positive rating, which begins only after interaction with the crass receptionist.”

“I got my root canal treatment done here . .The office staff was professional, pleasant ,helpful and welcoming .. During my treatment the doctor was very concerned about minimizing the pain. Numbing gel was placed first, then a few shots (and anyone with experience knows that these HURT-- I barely felt ANYTHING from the shots!. My mouth was numb after about 15 minutes and I did not feel any pain at all during the procedure.. I was extremely nervous initially however the Dr. and the staff comforted me and answered every question I had . The staff was super friendly ,polite and sympathetic .They also gave me an estimate on my treatment . . . It's nice to have such a caring place when needed. I would recommend Dr. Thomas Cholankeril a million times. . . ”

Great visit. But the receptionist was very rude and unwelcoming. If she was gone i would give this place 5 stars.

Pleasant and professional staff. Fantastic service. Gums and teeth did not feel sore or scratched after cleaning. My whole family will be going here! Anyone who can get my 17 month-old to open her mouth for an oral exam with no tears, deserves my business.

More than 1 year agoJulie P.Verified patient
The energy in this office is amazing. From the warm smile of the lady at the front desk to the friendly but professional dentist I left feeling great.
Even when it came to a root canal, staff consoled me as a cried because of a fear of needles.
I have been saying I hate the dentist for years, but after these last experiences I might have a whole new out look on dental care.
Also the short waiting time is a relieve- I'm always anxious coming to the dentist and not having to wait helps lower anxiety a ton!
I highly recommend!
June 29, 2015Julissa S.Verified patient
My second time visiting him. The office is very clean. The nurses are very friendly and forthcoming, as well as Dr. Cholankeril himself. They made me feel comfortable and lower my anxieties in reference to going to the dentist. No pain! :)
January 20, 2015Sabrina A.Verified patient
I loved this dentist! He was very gentle and I will definitely come back! For someone like me who is fearful of going to the dentist, it is comforting to have a caring professional take care of me. Thank you Zoc Doc. I am pleased with Dr. Cholankeril!
August 29, 2014Jada W.Verified patient
This is the first time I've ever had a pleasurable experience with a dentist. When he first came into the room, he had a conversation with me as though I was just another person ad not just a mere patient. He was very friendly and was open to answering as many questions I had for him. The procedure was painless, and I'm going to get my fillings done with him very shortly. I'm very pleased with the service I received and, will recommend everyone I know to go to his office.
June 11, 2014Sabrina A.Verified patient
The Doc and his staff were very professional. Office is very clean and quiet. They spend time explaining procedures to patients. I will visit again
