“Dr. Shah was very clear with his explanation on my needs. I was able to understand and follow what he was saying.”
Melissa R.August 7, 2023
“I think Dr. Shah is the best dentist I've ever seen.
He took the time to explain what he was doing, what he observed as he examined my teeth, and the reasoning behind relevant dental classification systems as they related to my teeth. I've never experienced this in the same way with any other dentist and really appreciated it.
He clarified things for me that, in hindsight, I could tell weren't as well understood by previous not-as-good dentists that I've seen (including specialists like periodontists). This made me trust him even more as a practitioner and as a person.
He's super nice and also a great listener - we actually had a fun conversation during my cleaning! - and he did the cleaning himself, which I totally wasn't expecting.
I went in just expecting to do a one-off appointment because I was overdue for a cleaning while I've been traveling, but I was so impressed that I'm excited to continue with Dr. Shah as a regular patient.”
