Dentist was supposed to get back to me after consulting with a specialist about a treatment, as of 11/6/2018 I have not heard back. I was in the clinic for a cleaning on 11/1/2018 and asked about this and was told a message would be sent to the dentist.

February 27, 2018
never had a problem with the dentists

December 15, 2017
Since coming to dental associates, I have been more confident in treatment/visits as I had been having nothing but issues with my last dentist. Unlike a medical doctor since coming to dental associates, I have not been seeing a particular dentist for any length of time as it was either a quick cleaning/x-rays and a quick check by whichever doctor was in that day or never had major issues to routinely see a dentist and to really get to know one dentist in my care.

November 29, 2017
Dr. Desai is the third dentist Ive had fill cavities, and she is by far the best. When I had pain, she resolved it quickly and explained the cause.

November 19, 2017
The dentist was very clear, and made sure I understood everything, that needs to be done.

October 16, 2017
The dentist explained what she was going to do.

October 8, 2017
She did very good.

September 21, 2017
At first I questioned the procedure when fillings would fall out, but was reassured and one expense voided.

June 27, 2017
Never had such pain free work done.

June 19, 2017
Staff was awesome and very understanding and helpful.

May 8, 2017
I liked the dentist very much, just by her technique I could tell she was very skilled and knowledgable

April 16, 2017
very personable

April 3, 2017
During the exam, everything went fine. I was told that I would be numb for about an hour after I left. I was numb 3 hours + afterwards and that's not an exaggeration. The area that was numbed was also sore even the next day. On top of that, the tooth that was filled feels rough instead of smooth. I have never had this problem before and I have unfortunately had lots of work done over the years. I plan on addressing this my next visit. I like her and want to give her a fair chance.

April 2, 2017
dentist and team were just out standing

December 13, 2016
This was my first cavity and she made me feel much better about crying through the whole thing.

October 2, 2016
the dentist was very patient with me

September 25, 2016
I was advised that I have infection in root canal. when I asked for antibiotic. they refused to prescribe one without giving reason. also I asked for pain med prescription. because I was in a lot of pain. she refused. I had to call dentist at other locations who is pulling teeth to prescribe pain meds.

September 19, 2016
I came in for a filling I loose at least once a year and she put me thru a fupp xray and exam and after she did the exam she was going to let me go without the filling
