Made me feel super comfortable, as usual. Been very happy with your service. And, your receptionists at the surgical wing are upbeat--they even laughed at my dumb jokes! FINALLY, a Dr.'s office that GETS how important it is to put a patient at ease, and you and your staff DO this through the whole process...!

I just had my first root canal procedure in 30+ years with Dr Chinta. She and her staff, including therapy dog, Lola, were very compassionate and professional. They asked detailed questions about my situation and concerns, and explained everything in understandable detail. Dr Chinta's equipment is state-of-the-art. I was surprisingly comfortable throughout the procedure. I had virtually zero pain after the anesthetic wore off. No unpleasant surprises whatsoever.

Everyone, clerical, medical staff, and professionals, were thoughtful, attentive, well-trained, resourceful, thorough and personable. Things went smoothly from end to end (so to speak). They've got this down.
