Dr. Kumar took the time to explain how my new permanent retainers would look like and answered all my questions without rushing. He and his team of dentists did a fantastic job with my retainers and completed the procedure in record time.The procedure itself was smooth and painless, and I appreciated the follow-up care instructions. I left feeling confident about my dental health and the care I received.
The office itself is modern and clean, which added to my comfort and the staff offered me tea while waiting for Dr. Kumar to be done with earlier patients.
I highly recommend Dr. Sharad Kumar for anyone looking for a knowledgeable and compassionate dentist!
