The staff, after giving us a selection of appointments and we confirmed one of the options, didn't even put it on their schedule. Imagine you are about to take your son to an appointment, and they said they don't have the appointment. My son is supposed to have braces next week, so we are trying to do one cleaning prior to that, so this totally screwed up our schedule.

My son is four and we have been coming to Dr.Aneil for the past two years. I truly love coming here and everyone is so nice and friendly. My son is always excited to take extra care of his teeth and understands the importance of brushing and the cherry on top is that he receives a toy each time he doesn’t have a cavity! I would recommend coming here if you have a child. They have a big movie room so your child can pick out a movie to watch while they are getting their teeth cleaned. So grateful to have found this lovely place and know these amazing people.

I cannot express with words my gratitude for Dr. Adams and his staff (Daisy and Rodney) my daughter is 6 and we've been going to a highly recommended practice on middle field. After our last visit, it was discovered she has two cavities and maybe more and they recommended general anesthesia. As time went on, I felt like a second opinion was in order and I found Dr. Adams. Our consult was then complete opposite of our other experience and he takes so much time to explain in great detail his plan, strategy, etc. He recommended nitrous, topical lidocaine and local anesthetic to fill the cavity

I just realized that I had a review drafted for this place, dating back to 2016- this is long over due =\

My kids have been coming here for over 3 years now and we won't go anywhere else!! Mind you, we live in San Jose and after a few failed dentists for my kids in the past, I found this place. I was referred here by a co-worker of mine who I was venting about my, at that time 5 year old son who is now 8, what a bad experience we had going to another family dentist- my son had bit the doctor. I remember looking at the doctor apologetically, and he without any compassion looked even more angry
