I didn't have any problems with billing or staff or cleanings. Dr. Mehta was always very professional in his demeanor. Nice man. I'm not a dental expert, but every one of my teeth that he has put fillings into has ended up having additional problems. It may be, though, that my teeth are just getting worse as I get older. I used to visit the dentist and nearly fall asleep as they just drilled away. When Dr. Mehta drilled, I would feel discomfort. I don't know if it was him or me, but after uncomfortable drilling, and two fillings each turning into an extraction and a root canal, I don't want to spend any more time in his chair wondering, so I've switched dentists.

Beware- these guys misled me completely about insurance coverage. Their 'estimate' was that my root canal was covered by insurance. Then after the work was done, they not only used a code that my insurance didn't accept, they charged me $350 more than the maximum my insurance allowed formy root canal. I got stuck with a $950 bill. They offered no help and were rude to me and refused to admit the mistake. Hopefully, it won't happen to you, but I wouldn't risk it.

please be carefull before you choose to get any dental work done with this doctor as he is not very attentive while examining xray's, My tooth had no problem, all it needed is refill, he digged very deep during the filling which fractured the tooth and left my tooth with sensitivity for weeks, I revisited him and did xray again, he told me there is a fracture which occured after the filling and needed a root canal cost about $1200. He tried to compensate the matter by not charging me for the filling he was going to do after the root canal as he screwed up my tooth. It was surprising to me as he said that no crowing was required after the root canal. Due to his negligence my tooth is gone and i am now afraid to go to dentists
