She was one of the best tennis I've ever been to and I've been to a lot! She's technically excellent and has wonderful personality. The entire staff is exceptional and very easy to deal with. No one likes to go to the dentist but one of the best experiences I've had.

At the very start the experience is very good from the pleasant reception and registration by Jasmine, and Vanessa, and the thorough hygienist Mit. Dr. SHAH is great, she took the time to thoroughly explain the needed treatment and was patient and pleasant to answer all my questions.The staff printed out the itemized treatment plan and is handling all pre-authorization and billing with the insurance so my total obligation is already known in advance. If the future work is done as competently as the first visit would seem to promise, I will be very happy. Thank you Dr. SHAH and all at GSS!
