Dipty Parikh, DDS

I really like Dr. Parikh, I find her personable and professional. I’ve been seeing her for about 2 years. She has filled several cavities for me, done a few cleanings and has managed my Invisalign process. I think the staff is very friendly and have never had any issue with not getting a call back or reschedule my appointment.

I went to this dentist and was told they would have to pull both my back molars. Did nothing for me. I went to my regular dentist and he said he would give those two teeth a crown. They do not need to be pulled. Receptionist was not friendly. They told me they would get back to me. Never did! Would never return!!! I can’t believe that after one year I received a bill from them. They did nothing! I am shocked especially because it’s Obama medi-​cal dental plan?

After leaving multiple messages because no one answers the phone in this office, I finally got a confirmation for a cleaning appointment. However, a day later the receptionist calls to tell me that they do not have me listed as a patient even though I went to this same office last year for a checkup, which they have a record of, and to have my insurance fax them a letter confirming my coverage. So I have my insurance do exactly as the dentist requested and I receive another call from the dentist saying that while I am covered she is not taking new patients. So even though I saw them last year, she was canceling my appointment. Given that I have a new baby and still went through the trouble of doing exactly as they asked, this run around has been extremely frustrating. She obviously does not care about customer service. In regards to my visit last year with one of the dentists in the office, it was subpar and I have definitely had better experiences elsewhere. If I could give them zero stars I would.

this dentist is listed under «Dentists Accepting New Patients» which includes adults, as indicated on the California Government website. However, when I phoned for an initial appointment, I was told that this dentist only accepted children, NOT ADULTS (on the Sacramento plan) in her practice and there must have been a mistake in Sacramento… Adding insult to injury, I was told to call Western Dental (with the worst reviews anywhere, ever)

When you see a 5 star review for a DENTIST, you know they have got to be awesome.
I started going to Dipty last year, after I moved from NY, and have since performed several procedures in the hope of attaining tooth heaven. I have always had pretty shabby teeth, so I was not surprised I needed tons of work after I moved to the Bay. I completed 2 extractions, a cleaning, a root canal, a crown and a few fillings. I have a couple other extractions to go, and I will start the process for Invisalign (not over-​sharing or anything…)
Every procedure I have ever had there has been smooth. They are punctual, straight to the point, skilled and fast. I rarely feel any pain whatsoever during the procedures, and as long as I follow the care advice they give me, any pain afterwards is minimal as well. Just to tell you how much going there is fun, I agreed to a procedure on my BIRTHDAY this year. Yup.
Dipty is honest, nice, funny and patient. I love her team, they are warm and super helpful. I have no desire of ever trying a new dentist, given that I remain in the Bay for a while. I highly recommend them.

i can only agree with everybody, this dentist is just awesome !! i had so much work done (full upper) incredible how much hard work she had to do, plus many hours !! it was a challenge for every dentist !!! end result was just outstanding, I CAN SMILE AGAIN !!! thank you doc. !!! and thanks to the lab. the price was definitely affordable, in fact it is hard to believe that she made any money on the work she put in. now the question, did it hurt? never, not even the shouts (many) i got!!. she is a master in her work, all the way (i know i been to many dentists). i will be moving away (, 3 hour drive from san carlos) and i have to get more work done, but i will take that drive without hesitation to let her work on it !!! thank you again doc. !!!

Dr. Dipty Parikh and the staff here are great. It’s nice to find a dentist that is really efficient and transparent with everything they do.

This review is NOT for DDS Parikh. I am sure she is a great dentist. It is for the front desk lady.
Last week, I scheduled an appointment for a teeth cleaning and general check-​up, and when I showed up at my appointment, I was told that I did not have an appointment. After giving all my information on the phone while scheduling an appointment as a first time client (soc.sec#, date of birth, policy#, etc), not even being in the system was disappointing. However, people make mistakes, and a simple apology would be more than enough for me. What bothered me and caused me to write this negative comment was the front desk lady’s attitude. «You are not scheduled for today… When did you make the appointment? What’s your surname again… No, you are not in the system. But, I can put you today at 4 pm.» She never said «sorry» once, and I found this behavior quite unkind.

Kind and gentle dentist. Considerate staff. On time office. Highly recommend! And all this coming from someone who dreads going to the dentist… :)

Dr. Parikh is great! So nice and efficient. She kept asking if she was hurting me and the hygienist apologized for those painful plastic things that they use to take the x-​rays. As if the fact that those slaps are far too big to fit in anyone’s mouth without creating huge grooves in the roof of one’s mouth was her personal fault!
The last dentist I went to put a camera in my mouth, showed me dots on my teeth and told me I had 9 cavities. As someone who actually flosses in addition to brushing slightly obsessively I was appalled. Dr. Parikh showed me the dots he was talking about and explained that they were simply discolorations to be watched NOT cavities to be filled. She recommended filling two cavities but made me feel like the decision was really up to me. Additionally, she is going to check with my insurance and email me an estimate before I have them filled so that I can make a more informed decision.
Overall, great experience. Looking forward to going back!

I DREAD going to the dentist, thanks to childhood memories of being given nitrous oxide and then having my teeth extracted by a cranky old orthodontist who didn’t even like kids. Not cool. Fast forward about 25 years and I have FINALLY found a dentist that I feel like I can trust.
During my last dental visit at another establishment, I was given a long list of procedures that the Dr. recommended. Thankfully I didn’t have insurance at the time, so I didn’t opt for any of them. As a result, since it had been almost a year since that visit, I was expecting the same bad news, if not worse. I was pleasantly surprised and relieved when Dr. Parikh only noted on my x-​rays two areas that she would watch, and nothing needed to be done at this time. YES! Finally, a dentist who’s not trying to rip me off!
Dr. Parikh is my fourth dentist over the past 3 years, and she is BY FAR the best. Her office is cute and small. Very clean. She takes digital xrays too, which is also nice because you can see them yourself on the monitor while she points out any areas of interest. During my visit, it was just her and her assistant, and Dr. Parikh did my teeth cleaning and polishing herself. She was very gentle and meticulous; not like some other dentists who I feel like are stabbing my gums. I really like how her office is small and intimate. My previous experiences with dentists have been in larger practices, where the dentist goes from patient to patient, spending only a few minutes with each one. Also, Dr. Parikh has a very pleasant demeanor, and she is very communicative regarding what she is doing and what she observes.
I would highly recommend Dr. Parikh to anyone!

Going to the dentist is not my cup of tea but a visit to Dr. Parikh has changed that. She’s an excellent dentist. Very thorough, friendly and understanding. I would recommend her to my closest friends.

No frills office with a great dentist!

I really like Dr.Parikh. I would have to say that the other reviewer summed it up… she is just a really nice, down to earth person. As a former dental assistant, I am really picky where I go. This office is clean and modern. There is no attempt to make you get unnecessary work. I love a dentist who is conservative, but thorough. Dr. Parikh is both! I highly recommend her.

Dr. Parikh is an extraordinary dentist!
She spends a significant amount of time with each patient and is a dentist that treats you like an individual. Both her dental work and care are excellent and her attention to detail is truly beyond compare. My last dentist would do work on my mouth that was not necessary, just to make money. Dr. Parikh would never do that. She is a dentist with the highest of ethics. She is also a rare dentist in that she offers various ongoing discounts and since I don’t have insurance it really helps a lot. Her staff is also very courteous and knowledgeable. As far as dentists go, I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Parikh.

Dr. Dipty Parikh is wonderful!!! Now I am not scared of visiting a dentist! She is very professional, calm and focused; to top it all genuinely friendly; I am so glad that she is right here in my neighbourhood and I can trust her to give me the right advice!
Her office has a non intimidating and pleasant atmosphere too apart from a convenient location.
So all the right ingredients to bring that confident smile back on your face :-) :-) :-)
