out of Read Reviews for Dr. Karl Shanker
I had my very first cleaning and exam with his helper and Dr Shanker, I was not inform that I have any other problem except couple filling, few month later, I had toothache and go to other dentist who could see me in same day and I was told I need root canal, bridge, etc, I feel I should be told if there is such big problem while I visited Dr Shanker few month ago.
Over all I do not command Dr Shanker.

Dr. Shanker is a good dentist. His office is very efficient and helpful when dealing with the insurance company. The facility has good up to date equipment. I like the new x-ray machine. Lower doses of radiation. He doesn't try to sell extra services, previous Dr. try in guilt us in to purchasing.
About Hygienist: The Dental Hygienist (DH)are very good. For years, our family has been stuck with bad DHs were more interested in selling additional services than taking care of basic dental health.

Dr, Shanker has an excellent "chair side " manner that puts you at ease,He is a professional that makes you want to come back for a follow-up.I had a previous dentist that hurt me so bad, I was scared to go,,I am an adult and Dr,Sganker took away my fears,,,,
He also treataed my grandsons that had never been to a dentist and his asst, Joanne made my 9 and 11 yr. old grandsons feel safe in the chair,,,One of my boys started to cry and she put my other gr.son Jason in the chair and showed him how all the tools worked and gave him a mirror to watch what she was doing(He had his tooth chipped and they filed it down)
Both my grandsons had a pleasant not fearful visit and I am so pleased with Dr.Shanker and Joanne...
They have treated me for years and I do go in for my 6month cleaning and visits,,,
I have all my teeth and I am thrilled.
In this day and age, he is so patient and non threatening,,,anyone can have a great dental visit.
About Hygienist: Joanne, the best in the business..I actually photographed my grandson in her chair and he was so calm after she explained all the tools and let him see the results on his brother who was just fine with everything.
I know this doctor: 18 + yrs
