I have been seeing Dr Thakkar for over 10 years I am always treated very kindly and everyone is professional. I am very satisfied with their hard work and I appreciate their kindness.

Dr. Thakkar is by far the best dentist I've ever been to. My sugar dropped at one visit and her and her staff went out of their way to find me something to bring it back up and ensured that I was well enough to leave before they would let me go. She explained everything in my treatment plan, answered any question I had and did so without being in a rush. So happy to have found such a wonderful place for my dental care. Really want to get my kids transferred to her as well if she has openings. 5 stars is not enough

Negligent. Unprofessional. ? NCAC 16v .0101. Unprofessional conduct that would lead to a license to practice being in question. 20&21. Dismissal of a patient mid treatment. Failing to provide 30 day notice or care in order to allow time to make other arrangements. I’m sure you will enjoy discussing that with them very soon. I may be a Medicare Medicaid patient that does not make me stupid. Nor does it give anyone a license to treat me so incredibly disrespectfully. I am terminally ill. The last thing I need is a problem that disrupts my nutrition or weight. Poor oral hygiene was not my problem. So much as prolonged antibiotic use is. There are multiple custodians that can attest to the fact that I brushed my teeth 3 times a day for many many years. I will admit freely that in recent years the depression associated with terminal illness lead to slacking but not completely forgoing of my oral hygiene. Being fully aware that you are one of the only practitioners who, accept my insurance you felt like it was a good thing to do to tell me you would no longer treat me after you removed many of my teeth? I missed one appointment and I didn’t not show up at all. I showed up at the wrong time and when I tried to show you that I did so because it was written on the card 12:30 once and 9:00 a.m. on another day. Appointments made only after I came in 36hours post surgery, surgery you required only to be rescheduled and sent home. There was confusion at that appointment. It was done in the consultation room by a hygienist. I in no way wrote that on my way to your office to try to excuse my lateness. I’m an adult. I apologized. Then attempted to explain to you why it happened. However, that was taken as some sort of personal affront . I wasn’t blaming anyone I simply was trying to explain why it happened with dental tools in my mouth. It was kind of hard to do that. I was being talked at not too. I am not a rude patient or one who doesn’t comply. I do not like the numbing part and seeing a needle going into my mouth causes me to panic and make a sound or two. I am sorry if that was upsetting to you. I apologized at the time and admitted it is immature of me. It’s a reaction. I had not so much as been late prior to the incident after my surgery. One I was incredibly understanding, gracious about. When the mistake was perceived to be mine it was very very different. I was afraid that I was going to sustain permanent damage from the rough and abrasive treatment I was receiving. I didn’t mean to waste anyone’s time and prior to being in that office I hadn’t looked at my phone. I had no idea anyone had called. To tell someone to trust you. To do what you say, and “ I will have a beautiful smile” and “be able to eat”. Literally the words Dr Thakkar spoke to me day one. I did what was asked of me in a timely manner. While my home was in the process of a to the studs renovation. I receive a certified letter that my partial was denied. I was told I’d need a root canal. I was prepared to pay and made sure that was clear. Trusting your treatment plan has left me in a very poor state. Very much worse than before I set foot in the office. You are very aware of the state of my teeth mid treatment and what that would be like to live with. Did you care? Did you give a second thought to the detrimental effects that would have for me? No. That is not “harming none”. I have experienced a lot of harm. The anguish and distress this has caused myself and my mother who by the way helps me with things like appointments because I have so many and have found myself unable to manage alone at times. Even as an adult. She and I have saw many many many doctors. More than anyone will ever know from day one. As a skid baby 40 weeks early. To now managing a terminal illness 5yrs past expectancy. This is the worst. By far.

No stars would be more appropriate. Very, very disappointed with this dentist. Never fully understand my sons treatment plan and she fired him in the middle of it for missing appointment (which I understand is not responsible) I would not want anyone to experience being discharged in the middle of treatment.

If I could give NO STARS I would!!!! Appointment was made for my son, he advised them when he scheduled the appointment that he needed to be seen for pain and discomfort he was having from a tooth that may need filling, had to wait a month for the appointment. Went to the appointment which required him to miss a very important college class, but he felt like it was necessary being as this was the earliest appointment he could get and the discomfort he was having, only for them to do an X-ray, say you need a filling and then the Dr. to say, schedule him to come back because I am too tired to mess with doing the filling today, and it was only 1:00pm. And the next appointment they scheduled for him to return he has to wait an entire month again.

I had been going to Thakkar for 6+ years. Over the past couple years the atmosphere and quality of care has decreased to the point I’ve moved my dental care to office out of town. The front staff very polite here, but earlier this year when had teeth cleaned hygienist seemed miserable and did poor job. My teeth didn’t feel clean as they had in the past and she got water and paste splatter all over face and shirt. I went back shortly after to have some additional work and ask about a spot on my tooth. I was told that I was brushing to hard and nothing could do about it. I though that was odd.. Fast forward to new dentist 6 months later, it was not due to brushing too hard but missing a small filling from years ago, which the hygienist and dentist immediately identified. In addition to validating that I had right to be concerned that I wasn’t receiving quality cleaning and Thakkars office.I called back to Thakkars office to confirm a specialist Thakkar sent me to a few years ago, so new Dentist could validate. They give me the wrong office and said that was the only they used, when obviously it wasn’t. I was able to track down via Google instead of just pulling from their records.Very disappointed how the quality of care and communication at this office has suffered.
