Rabindra Sahdev, DDS

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Sahdev for quite some time now. I’ve found him to be professional, an expert at his craft, with a great chairside manner. His recommendations for treatment have been necessary and performed to the highest standards. My last treatment of a cap on a cracked tooth was no different than all of my other treatments by the doctor and his staff. I would highly recommend his services.

This dentist and his staff are amazing. They are always friendly and very informative. Dr. Sahdev explains everything thoroughly and does great work. He’s definitely a pro. Me and my boyfriend have been going to him for 6 months now and couldn’t be happier.

UPDATED:
Today, I received a very nice hand-​written note from Dr. Sahdev. Even though I did not have a good experience, he was very regretful for my experience and unhappiness.
What I could have done differently: I should have spoken up — even with the frustration of the situation — and said something about my discomfort. I should have stopped the procedure and voiced my opinion, I can take responsibility for that. Also, just because Dr. Sahdev was too clinical for my taste, he seems to be perfect for others.
I’m moved by his reaching out, and don’t want to mire his chances with new patients, because of the bad experience I had. I’m changing the number of stars, because he was a class act about my experience. I will re-​write my review as a pro/​con list…
—–
Cons:
1. Rough procedure (2 cavities filled, and some other filling/​composite work). It felt like a jackhammer in my head.
2. Very clinical — need more interpersonal communication with more personality
3. Used an awful plastic insert in my mouth to keep me from closing my mouth. Very uncomfortable — no opportunity to rest my jaw (90-​minute procedure)
4. 5-​minute cleaning — but was charged for a full cleaning procedure.
Pros:
1. Excellent handling of billing
2. Contacted me right away after I complained about my visit (handled it with class)
3. Refunded the cost of my cleaning

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
If you are looking for a friendly dentist who knows his stuff then definitely visit Dr. Sahdev. I was recommended to visit him when i first started having issues with my wisdom teeth a couple years ago and haven’t even thought of visiting anyone else ever since. Dr. Sahdev and his entire staff are incredibly friendly and do a really good job at explaining everything they do or any issues you are having with your teeth.
Now my whole family visits Dr. Sahdev including my brother, dad, mom, and soon my little sister! He always remembers any information I tell him and does a great job at making me feel welcome and like family. The staff is great about booking new appointments and are always very flexible.
BEST DENTIST THE BAY AREA HAS TO OFFER!

I’m a tough patient to deal with. I get anxious and move quite a bit. I also hadn’t taken very good care of my teeth for a long time.
Dr. Sahdev is one of the most patient and informative doctors I’ve ever visited. Both he and his staff are personable, knowledgeable and professional, and they pay attention.
The equipment and processes Dr. Sahdev uses are clean, well kept. It’s obvious that the health and well being of the patient is priority number one.
Where can I add more stars to this review?! :)

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Dr Sahdev is my entire family’s dentist and will soon become the dentist for my younger sister. He and his staff are so helpful and offer incredible service. Such an incredibly kind guy and really cares about his patients. It’s nice and convenient that his office is right off downtown and he has parking available which is usually impossible to find in the area. His appointment times are very flexible and he definitely knows what he’s talking about!

I have been seeing Dr. Sahdev for just over 5 years, but I recently moved and switched dentists as a result.
I enjoyed my time being a patient of his. He’s very polite, friendly, and makes great conversation. His dental assistants have also been very friendly.
Dr. Sahdev’s offices are among the most clean and well kept of any I’ve ever been. This is obviously very nice when receiving dental care.
I’m also told that the office artwork was painted by Dr. Sahdev himself!

Best dentist I have ever been to! Dr. Rabindra Sahdev is awesome. He has such a calming approach to dentistry, I always leave feeling totally relaxed and taken care of. Also, his dental assistants are the best. They are very accommodating and kind.

I was going to Dr. Sahdev for over a year and I have only nice things to say about him and his staff.
Dr. Sahdev is very professional, but also warm. He always let me know about multiple options of treatment and was honest about what he thinks needs or doesn’t need to be done. I had 2 root canal procedures done and about 7 – 8 dental cavities treatments. All procedures were rather painless and nicely done.
I moved abroad recently and I hope to find a dentist that I will like as much as Dr. Sahdev.
Highly recommended!

A friend of mine recommended Dr. Sahdev and since I haven’t been to the dentist for a while I had quite some things that needed to get done. Dr Sahdev did a great job in explaining everything that was going on and he and his staff performed all procedures in a excellent and competent way. Dr. Sahdev is great, the atmosphere is super inviting and the office is very modern. I would warmly recommend Dr. Sahdev to everyone that is looking for a dentist in Palo Alto.

Dr. Sahdev is simply the best. Not only is he incredibly thorough, polite, and skilled, but he and his staff are so pleasant I actually look forward to going. His office is super high-​tech as well, TV on the ceiling during visits and shows full x-​ray results on the same flat screen to show you what’s going on.
My entire startup started going here and we all drive back to Palo Alto even though we were purchased by ebay down in San Jose, because the Dr is fantastic.
If you’re in the area, this is your spot. Couldn’t imagine a better experience.

Very accommodating. I came at the end of my internship because I was due for a cleaning. Normally they don’t clean patients on the first visit because they need to do an evaluation, but in this case Dr. Sahdev and his staff made time to both evalate and clean my teeth.

The dental office is beautiful. Looks like brand new state of the art equipment. He has this neat painting of the Mona Lisa and some other paintings which he painted. I guess thats why the office is called Dentartiste.
Dr. Ravi was really attentive to my dental issues. He listened carefully and let me explain the problem. After giving me several options, we decided on the treatment. It was great, he was very gentle, explained the procedure and made me feel very comfortable. It turned out to be a very positive experience.
His receptionist was very efficient about getting my insurance details and my appointments sorted out.
I would defintely recommend this dentist.
