January 25, 2024Samantha B.Verified patient
I usually don’t go to a dentist because they’re rough on your teeth and it hurts! But Dr. Shah was gentle and would stop/apologize if by chance he did cause any pain during the cleaning process. He would even give you a break after finishing half your teeth which was relieving. I would definitely come back here.
September 26, 2023Yash P.Verified patient
Chipped my back wisdom tooth and booked an appointment on zoc doc same day. Staff was very friendly and answered all my questions ahead of time. Communication was easy and smooth. Dr Shah was amazing, explained everything to me and answered all my questions precisely. Would highly recommend coming to see him as he is an amazing doctor. Tooth extraction was fast and painless, he really guides you through it and helps you to not worry during the process. Amazing visit

November 14, 2017Merced G.Verified patient
I would not recommend this dentist ! He extracted my 4 teeth because of minor pain. He injured my gum and i suffered for a month. I could not open my jaw even half for a month. He did not give me any pill for pain in my jaw. Then i went to another dentist who prescribed me ibuprofen and that helps me. This doctor i would not recommend.
