BEWARE!! DO NOT GO TO THIS DENTIST!
I had a terrible experience with Dr. Thobani. From the start, it felt more like a sales pitch than a dental visit. After a brief introduction, her first question was, “What do you do for a living?” From that point, she seemed more interested in upselling services than in providing genuine care.
I came in for a deep cleaning, but she immediately complained that it would take her 40 minutes, as if that was too much of a bother for her. During the entire visit, she commented on how bad my stains were, making me feel uncomfortable rather than addressing the issue constructively. When I mentioned that flossing was difficult because of the tight spacing between my teeth, her “professional” suggestion was to extract two perfectly healthy teeth just to make flossing easier. What kind of dentist recommends removing good teeth for this reason?
The cleaning itself was rough and painful, lasting barely 5 minutes. It felt like she was more interested in getting through it quickly than doing a thorough job. Worse still, she repeatedly tried to sell me on additional services, like a $450 mouthguard, rather than focusing on my actual dental needs.
My wife also had a similar experience. She went in for her routine cleaning, which our dental plan covers, but Dr. Thobani barely did anything. Instead of the usual care and attention, all she received was yet another sales pitch.
If you have Medicaid, I would especially avoid this practice. I felt judged, disrespected, and treated as though my health and comfort were secondary to her sales goals. Save yourself the trouble and find another dentist who genuinely cares about their patients’ well-being.
