I have had an extreme fear of the dentist ( due to past experiences)which resulted in not going for 2-3 years or on and off , instead of the recommended 6month period. Finally I decided to go because of pain I'd been having in my tooth. I can't emphasise enough how good this dentist is, especially if you have a fear like I did. I felt NO PAIN during any of the visits and was kept informed throughout the examinations! FOR ONCE IN 24 years of my life I left the dentist office with a smile, no pain, no bleeding cuts, and a whole new perspective. Can you believe that I was actually looking forward to my next appointment (which by the way she booked me for an appointment 2 days after my first consultation ) very fast . She fixed my two small cavities and my two chipped teeth . I was ecstatic when she finished , it looks great (I will put up my before and after pictures once I get them from her) Dr. Shukla made sure to match the best she could to my natural color , she got it on point! One of my favorite things about her is that she has you tell her all your wishes for how you would like your smile to look , or how to make your teeth better. I told her all of my concerns , which she made sure to write down ! So far we knocked 2 from my checklist , I can't wait to finish it up and see how my smile will be at the end of this journey !!!! IF YOU WANT NO PAIN , AND A BEAUTIFUL SMILE GO TO DR. SHUKLA !!!

I am extremely upset and saddened by the way my mother was treated at Advanced Dental of Holmdel by…read moreDr. Rachel E. Pickworth. Last week, my mother went to the office to have a cavity filled. After the procedure, she noticed that floss was constantly getting stuck between her teeth near the filling. We called the office and scheduled a follow-up appointment so the dentist could correct the issue. When my mother returned to the office today, she explained that she was there because the filling needed to be fixed. Since English is not her first language, I was helping translate over the phone. Instead of listening to her concerns, Dr. Pickworth became noticeably rude and was not gentle while examining her. I even had to ask her to please be careful and gentle with my mother, who is an elderly woman with medical conditions and deserves to be treated with dignity and respect. What should have been a simple adjustment became unnecessarily complicated. The dentist wanted to take additional X-rays and perform procedures that my mother did not feel comfortable with. Rather than addressing the original issue, the situation became increasingly tense. A front desk employee named Jennifer was brought in to translate. Unfortunately, she was not accurately communicating what my mother was saying and even told my mother that she was offending the dentist. How is a patient offending a dentist by asking for a recently completed filling to be fixed? The situation became even more upsetting when my mother became frightened by a large dental instrument that was being placed in her mouth. She felt pain and discomfort and removed it because she was scared and wanted to take a picture of it. At that point, the dentist became visibly angry, and several additional staff members entered the room. My mother felt intimidated, overwhelmed, and unsafe. No patient should ever feel ganged up on, especially an elderly person who is simply seeking help for a problem related to recent dental work. My mother felt that she was treated differently because of her accent and language barrier. Instead of receiving compassion and understanding, she was met with hostility. There was also an issue with billing. During the original visit, my mother was told the procedure would cost $130. When it was time to pay, she was charged $158 instead. While the $28 difference is not financially significant to us, honesty and transparency matter. I ultimately had to leave what I was doing and rush to pick up my mother because she was so distressed. The police were called, and I explained the situation because I was deeply concerned about how she was being treated. What is most disappointing is that this entire situation started because my mother returned to have a simple issue corrected. A routine filling adjustment should never turn into such a stressful and humiliating experience. I would strongly encourage anyone with elderly parents or family members who may have language barriers to think carefully before sending them to this office alone. Every patient deserves respect, patience, and professional care, regardless of age, language, or accent.

Let me begin by saying that I am (or at least was) an EXTREMELY apprehensive patient…read more Embarrassingly enough I haven't had a teeth cleaning in about six or seven years, and because of all of the time that had past, I was scared. I found Doctor Pickworth through my health insurance company. I'm a resident of Holmdel and her office was very close by. I had read the office reviews on google and decided I'd give their office a try (once I worked up my bravery). The office is extremely clean (which is a huge plus especially during times of covid-19). The staff? Welcoming, kind, understanding, professional, and never once made me feel badly for letting my teeth go for as long as I had. I expressed I live with anxiety and they were sure to explain every step throughout the process and prior to them doing anything. Pro-tip : I asked to wear the x-ray radiation protector blanket while having my teeth cleaned as it's just like a weighted blanket and helped to calm my nerves. The hygienist, Leann, was so gentle that having my teeth cleaned was almost a pleasure. She is very detailed in her work and no stone (or tooth, as it were) was left unturned. Doctor Pickworth is very kind, understanding, and thorough. I went to see her a day before my cleaning for a consultation. Because of the state of my teeth, I will need to have several procedures done and, oddly enough, I'm almost looking forward to them. If you have any fear or reservations no matter the reason, I would highly recommend going to Doctor Pickworth and her staff at Advanced Dental. They will put your mind at ease and get you started on the path to a healthy smile.

Dr. Maia is wonderful! I had my first visit with her today for a checkup and cleaning. I was…read moreoverdue for this because of Covid so was extra anxious because of that, and also since I was going to a new dentist. She made me feel comfortable and did everything she could to make my cleaning as painless as possible, which she included using a numbing cream on my gums, which helped a lot. She's very knowledgeable, asked questions, and recommended different things to try to keep my gums in good health. Her office staff is extremely nice too. I spoke to Natasha on the phone and then met her today. She's very sweet. The young woman who did my x-rays was great too--nice and friendly and was fast so I didn't have to sit long with the plastic things in my mouth. This all made such a difference in my dental experience, which I always dread. The office is cheerful and decorated for the holidays. The parking was right next to the office in a private lot. The office itself is conveniently located right off Route 130 so it's easy to get to. I highly recommend Dr. Maia if you're looking for a dentist. I was so pleasantly surprised!

I was given one set, period, and Patel kept playing with them, I didn't even want them to be sent to the lab the last time I was there. I have several phone messages, which I have had my insurance company, and a lawyer hear, from Melissa, saying they received my denture back from the lab and to come on in.
