Dr.Vundavalli is amazing and really patient centric. She has came in on her day off for an emergency tooth infection. She also explains the care instructions very clear and educates you on what could go wrong if you don't put your dental hygiene first which my husband needed because he does not like putting his health first. Her front office staff is also very helpful and patient while being friendly. I work in the medical field and when you find a doctor you can trust and has the best interest for you and not just looking to get paid you come back. (: read more

From out of state working in the area, my crown cracked at dinner I found Star Dental via Yelp the next morning. The dentist spoke with me and offered two options for an appointment the same day. I arrived for the appointment, and I was greeted by receptionist she was friendly and attentive. There was a minimal weight that allowed me to complete the registration forms, and the dental technician brought me straight to an exam room. The dentist was friendly and immediately examined the bridge. X-rays were taken and the dentist briefed me using the x-rays to show me the problem. She offered 2 solutions as I am from out of state. She was very clear and explained both options. This is Thursday evening 5PM, I have an appointment to get the preparation and temporary bridge with impressions for the finished product on Saturday morning. To say the least I am grateful for the super quick appointment and the kindness the dentist and staff afforded to me. My bridge had to have broken so I could meet the Dr. Vundavalli who is a wonderful and kind person. I would recommend anyone needing emergency work, or just a great dental office for hygiene, maintenance or cosmetics this is a great office. read more

Dr. Chandana Vundavalli is the best dentist I've found so far. I had several overdue cavities that I had been putting off because of a terrible filling experience with a previous dentist. That experience left me so scared that I avoided getting any more cavities treated. I initially booked my first appointment at Pleasanton Star Dental just for a cleaning. After meeting Dr. Vundavalli, I felt comfortable enough to give cavity fillings another try and I'm so glad I did. She made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. She numbed the area so gently that I barely felt the injection, and I didn't feel any pain during the fillings either. She explained everything, checked on me throughout the procedure, and made the entire experience completely stress-free. Because of how positive my experience was, I kept coming back to get all of my overdue cavities taken care of. I now completely trust Dr. Vundavalli with my dental care, and I've even brought my kid to see her for his checkup as well. The entire staff is friendly, welcoming, and professional, and the office is clean and well organized. If you've been avoiding the dentist because of fear or a bad past experience like I was, I highly recommend Dr. Vundavalli truly changed the way I feel about going to the dentist. read more

They do a great job. Almost fun if going to the dentist is fun. What more can I say. And now they say I need fifteen more characters.

My first time seeing Dr. V, or any dentist at all after a long time. Her and her team took such good care of me and she is very thorough with her work. I appreciate her genuine concern for the dental problems I've been having! read more

I've had a great experience here - the doctor and staff have gone above and beyond, and I'm thrilled with the results

We found this dental office completely by accident, and it turned out to be one of the best accidents we've had. We were actually looking for a family dentist recommended by a neighbor, but were given the wrong address and ended up at this office instead. By the time we realized the mistake, we had already met Dr. Chandana Vundavalli and decided to keep the appointment. Looking back, we're so glad we did. Since then, our entire family has continued coming here, and every visit has reinforced our decision. Dr. Vundavalli is incredibly kind, humble, patient, and thorough. She takes the time to explain everything, never makes you feel rushed, and genuinely seems to prioritize what's best for the patient rather than what's best for the business. One thing that has really stood out is her honesty and consideration when it comes to treatment costs. In an industry where it's easy to feel pressured into unnecessary procedures, she has consistently recommended only what is truly needed. She has always been transparent and flexible when it comes to treatment and associated costs, which has given us a great deal of confidence in her care. We feel incredibly fortunate to have Dr. Vundavalli as our family dentist. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, compassionate and highly skilled dentist. read more

Dr. Chandana Vundavalli did an excellent job on my 3 dental implants, the entire process was painless and the results are fantastic. She's incredibly thorough and explained every step along the way, and I'd highly recommend her to anyone needing implant work or looking for a Dentist. read more

I started seeing Dr. Vundavalli this year. But so far, I am very impressed. Dr. Vundavalli has a very pleasant personality. She is easy to talk to and comes across as very genuine. I am also very impressed with their dental hygienist, Sharooq. I received a regular cleaning and deep gum cleaning from Sharooq. I am very particular about thoroughness when it comes to cleanings. Even more so when it comes to a deep gum cleaning. I feel Sharooq was both thorough and skilled when it came to my cleanings. She earned my full trust. read more

I can't say enough good things about my first experience at Pleasanton star dental office. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm, professional team of four amazing ladies who made the entire visit feel personal and stress-free. They took such great care of my kids, gentle, patient, and kind during their cleanings. My minis felt completely at ease, which is rare at a dental office! I also had a tooth extraction done, and it went incredibly smooth. But what really stood out was how much they cared about me as a whole person and not just a patient. Dr. Vundavalli noticed something during the visit that led me to follow up with my doctor, and it helped catch early signs of high blood pressure. That level of care is also rare. Every single team member was kind, thoughtful, and clearly passionate about their work. This office is a gem, and I'm grateful I found them. Highly recommend! read more

I would like to share my thoughts about Dr. Vundavalli and her office staff. For starters they are very welcoming and pleasant to be around even when dental work could be so nerve racking. She explains everything in detail to make sure you are comfortable. I have really high anxiety when it comes to dental work but not with her, she always knows how to calm me down. I hope this helps when you are trying to find a great dentist. I will definitely be recommending her to family and friends. Thank you Elizabeth R. read more

Today was my first appointment and I was pretty nervous because of my last experience at a previous dental office. I am happy to say I was nervous for no reason. The dentist is super nice, informative, and gentle. I look forward to coming back and I am glad I gave this dental office a try. read more

Incredible service and staff! I am a new patient here, but Dr. Vundavalli is so warm and friendly that I feel like I've been coming here for years. Dr. Vundavalli is very knowledgable and was happy to answer all of my questions. The office is nice and clean, and has all of the latest technology. I highly recommend Dr. V to everyone and will be sending my family and friends her way. read more

Great customer service, and she cares about her clients. Neat and clean service office

Dr Vundavalli and staff are very professional and friendly. She explains everything thoroughly and takes a lot of time and effort ensuring that you understand and therefore there are no surprises when treatment is complete. I have been extremely satisfied with her work and would highly recommend this practice. read more

I receive great care and Dr. V and her staff always make me feel comfortable and well informed about the health of my teeth.

My partner has been a happy patient here and when I had a dental emergency (a bridge done by another dentist completely broke off), they were able to accommodate me the same day. I was thrilled with both the speed in which I was seen and with the work that was done. Since then I have been in for a cleaning (I was overdue) and to have a few fillings replaced. Every time I come I am treated with such care and kindness by Dr. V and her staff. I highly recommend Pleasanton Star Dental! read more

The overall experience was great and Dr. Vundavalli herself was absolutely wonderful. The Dr. was a very sweet witch a warm demeanor that made you feel comfortable and welcome. She was very professional and focused on finding the best course of action for my care while also providing a good conversation to get to know each other that made the experience enjoyable. I'm 24 and she talked pleasantly with me about my life and plans for the future, and just generally how I was doing, and then she gave me some information about herself as well. it was very sweet. She is super knowledgeable and patient, and welcome to answering all the questions I had- and I ask a lot of questions. I went in for my first general cleaning after having switched dentists and having not gone in a few years, and it was not to my surprise that I had some cavities and needed fillings. She showed me pictures and came up with an efficient plan to take care of them. The teeth I was having fixed were ones previously filled by my other dentists and it was made clear very quickly the difference as she seemed surprised at the way he had handled one of my teeth and left it patchy, and explained how she would have done it differently. She definitely knew what she was talking about, but stated it in a way that wasn't arrogant or condescending towards any of my previous dental work, it was professional and focused on where to go from there. When I came back to receive the fillings it was probably the most comfortable dental experience I've ever had, and I've been to a handful of dentists. She had no problem explaining to me what she was doing as she did it, and I felt absolutely nothing. The filling was on my last lower molar, and even with my cross bite and small mouth I didn't feel the numbing shot at all because she went slow and gentle, not even a pinch- she was in no hurry which was a great change of pace from my previous dentistry, and she held no reservations in giving me a second shot when I didn't think I was numb enough. She checked in with me frequently throughout the treatment, and I didn't feel left out of the loop She was there to treat me as a person rather than as just another tooth case- my previous dentist made me feel like he wanted to get me out the door as fast as possible and when I was finished I felt a lot of pressure on one of my front teeth (my cross bite means my front teeth touch.) Dr. Vundavalli took extra care to double check my bite and the surfaces of my teeth when she was done and I was actually shocked when I got home that my bite felt way better than usual; the pressure on my front tooth was gone and I can only assume her work on my back teeth and attention to how my mouth opened/closed must have helped shift my bite where my teeth collided, and it is so much more comfortable now. She is very conscious of the comfort of the person shes working on, and is very kind and softly spoken. I'm always apprehensive when I get a new dentist because it's hard to trust a stranger to drill in your mouth, but now I'm looking forward to getting the rest of my teeth fixed because I can trust she will do a good job and that she cares. The rest of the staff are also very polite, especially Ruth in reception. read more

I had to get all of my bottom teeth pulled out and had a bone graph done on my jaw, due to an infection. My dentist CHANDANA VUNDAVALLI Could visably see my infection and pointed out that she knew I had been in alot of pain! And she wasnt lying I was in some of the worst pain of my life! My dentist took her time explaining everything and making sure i felt comfortable and calmed my nerves. I was terrified to be awake for the procedure but she made sure I wasnt in pain&her and her staff kept me calm and collected. This was about a month ago my bone graph is still healing and everything is going well, even though I am a light smoker . My dentist made sure to have everything i need to heal. amazing job pleasanton star dental read more

I cannot express myself enough when I say I am so happy to have found this place. Dr. Vundavalli is the nicest and most gentle dentist that I have ever been to ! The staff is so welcoming and friendly with all their patients. They keep your best interest at heart, and are very understanding with any situation you have. I had to get a lot of work done and they worked well with my schedule. My experience was pain free and very smooth, they always made sure I was comfortable and would constantly check in with me. I could not have found a better dentist in the Tri-Valley ! read more

My wife and I were a little leery about a new dentist talking over the practice. We adored Dr. Chalmers, she'd been our dentist for years as well as our grown daughter all through childhood. So we were not only were losing our beloved dentist, but also facing an unknown of what the new dentist would be like and how she would measure up to Dr. Chalmers ... Dr. Vundavalli has been an awesome new dentist for us. Beyond tremendous for me, here are some comments and examples ... Unfortunately for me, I've recently had some dental complications for the first time in my life, and have had to go in a number of times, with a few still to go. So I've had a lot appointments and Dr. V has been tremendous. I can't say enough great things about her. First of all, she is very professional, thorough/on top of things, explains things very well... so I very quickly was impressed and won over by her. Also, Dr. Vundavalli is VERY empathetic so she really cares about you and the treatment you will be getting. She is very communicative, assures you as things go, is very confident in her approach. She tells you she will be gentle and cautious, which she very much is. She is very in tune to your comfort and has a great "touch" as it were. She's been the best I've ever experienced with numbing, drilling, etc. I'm a bit of a "white knuckled" dental patient and she's helped alleviate a lot of that for me. Another example ... Dr V. called me at home in the evening well after hours as I had left a message at her well office after closing and she called me back within an hour. I mean, how many dentists would do that? That is going well above and beyond IMO. She really cares about her patients and her practice. Dr. Vundavalli has absolutely met and surpassed my hopes and expectations... doing so through some unfortunate and at times difficult procedures. I'm also much more relaxed and less apprehensive of some of my upcoming appointments and processes thanks to her. My wife really likes her and been impressed as well. We plan on her being our dentist moving forward, and are relieved and happy she's so good. Maybe the biggest compliment I can give her is she is every bit the excellent dentist that Dr. Chalmers was and is every bit as nice in her own way as Dr. C was in hers. In each different situation with me she has been fantastic in each case and overall. The several visits have given her a chance to really demonstrate her excellence. Also she has a great hygienist Dolly and a great other staff with Misty and Ruth ... all are also very nice, personable, professional and very good at their own jobs. Anyone looking for a new dentist, or is reticent as a former Dr. Chalmers patient should be confident in choosing Dr. V ... you'll be very pleased. Plus they play great music in there!! read more

Dr. Vundavalli is an excellent dentist with a great staff. I was a patient in the practice she took over and was not sure what to expect, but I can now say I am very happy and plan to stay. I recently had a crown procedure and her work was perfect. She explained exactly what was going to happen and did what she said. She is very careful and makes sure procedures are painless. I fully recommend Pleasanton Star Dental. read more

Dr. Vundavalli is a great dentist not only she is caring and calm but she is also a great professional. I highly recommend her as a dentist.

"Dr. V" is pleasant, efficient and up-to-date in her practice. She took on the dental practice of my former dentist who retired, and has taken pains to get to know her new clients. I am really happy with her work. read more

I had to have a crown removed and a temporary installed. Unfortunately there was a problem with it so I called the office.. Well they were closed so I left a message. I got a return call from Ms Vundavalli DDS that afternoon and she was in San Francisco. She agreed to open up the office and meet me at 6pm that evening. She spent 40 minutes with me remoulding and installing the new temporary crown. Not sure ANY other dentist would have done that. Her practice is new and with that kind of service, I am sure, it will grow. She has me now as a customer for life. read more

Amazing office. They take great care of you and make the process easy! They are also very kind and comforting. I will be back
