Dr. Ghatak is awesome! She explain to us the best option for our daughter. This pediatric dentist office is one of the best! The staff was so friendly, accommodating and helpful. My 2 year old is super anxious and afraid of the dentist but once we arrived and she saw the toys and just the overall appearance of the office she was fine. They informed us of every single thing that was about to take place in a way that didn’t scare my 2 year old and made her feel like such a BIG GIRL.. This place is top notch and I cannot say enough good things about them. If you are looking for a place for your kiddos this is the place!

A must visit! Glad to have her and her team as our Dental lead! She earned my 5 y/o trust by dedicating time in building rapport (vs the common get-in-and-get out), and approached his dental Tx with notable empathy and patience. Offered current dental technologies / plan to best suit our child's special needs. A keeper - we look forward to having her as our doc for years to come! By the way, the front office works well with scheduling and ensuring financial expectations thru insurance coverage.

Dr. Ghatak is the most caring, patient dentist that I have ever encountered. She was so good with our son. All the staff is also amazing. The office is very clean and well decorated. Can not say enough about how positive our experience has been.

Dr. Ghatak traumatized my son. She says she takes kids with special needs. I told her my son has anxiety and is terrified of the dentist. She yelled at my son when he was crying and terrified and if that wasn’t enough she told him he was going to scare the kids in the waiting room and make them never want to go to the dentist again. She told my son she was going to have to call a scary man in to hold him down on one occasion. She also told him it wasn’t her fault but my fault that I was the bad guy for having her clean my son’s teeth. After the appointment my son told me he didn’t want other kids to fear the dentist as much as he does. I told my poor son he was not responsible for other kids and that he did not do anything wrong at all. We found a new dentist after with the help of my son’s very caring teacher. Our new dentist is working with my son in helping him deal with his anxiety and traumatic experiences of going to the dentist. If your child has special needs I caution you.

Dr. Ghatak was great with helping us with my 4-year-old. Our first dentist suggested a plan of action that included sedation, which I was apprehensive about at such a young age. She helped us explore more options including SDF as well as gently building my son up to accept treatment. It is obvious that she and her staff are good with young children and do everything they can to make them more comfortable. Going as far as to ask us what my son’s favorite cartoons are so he can watch them on the ceiling tv and letting us take home some of the equipment they use so he could get used to it at home and not be so afraid of it next time.
