Very satisfied with the care and cleaning. Dr Sariah is fabulous! Explains things well. Hygienist is wonderful. Highly recommend

I am not a fan of going to the dentist. But after years of neglecting to do so, I had a bike accident and broke my front tooth. I found Dr. Satish and this office and he did an amazing job to save enough of the tooth and expertly place a crown. Since then I have done lots of work with him and find him kind, a joy to talk to, and his staff professional. Recently had him do major work on my front teeth and I am extremely happy with my new smile - never really thinking I'd ever have a smile this nice. Going to the dentist is not fun for me, but I feel at ease and appreciate the work as well as the kindness of Dr. Satish and the staff there in Aurora. read more

Excellent service and wonderful friendly staff! They always take such good care of me and my teeth, highly recommend!

I've been going to Valley Dental for years for my self and my children. I recently just got 2 wisdom teeth out and at first I was nervous but, after the procedure my pain was gone I was in and out for that procedure in a hour. read more

Bottom of the barrel dentistry. Too much to write in one review. 1. Sometimes there are barriers on equipment and sometimes not. VERY SCARY. He adjusted the lamp many times and it wasn't covered one visit. I was wondering about his fingers being in the mouths of previous patients , adjusting the lamp, fingers back into my mouth and got FREAKED OUT. Another time the assistant touched the keyboard (that had no barrier protection)and I asked her what cavities I had again. Without changing gloves she put her fingers in my mouth to check!!! I was stunned. I should've asked her to put knew gloves on. Wiping keyboards doesn't get between the keys. God knows what is there. 2. He Lectures patients if you cancel. I canceled to get my crown on until my tooth was repaired from a root canal by my endo and stopped hurting. Should I have had my crown put on a painful tooth? He lectured me in the chair during my next visit. I told him I couldn't get my crown on until the pain was gone!!! 3. Just had a cleaning by Kelly who is the only good thing about that place. After the cleaning he filled two prior cavities I had. He never informed me if I had new ones after my cleaning. I still have no idea if I have new cavities from my 2-14-18 cleaning. I was so stupid to keep going back but it was so close to my house and I hate driving far to go to a dentist. I should've spoken up. I finally wrote him a letter stating in detail my feelings about being lectured about him losing money when people cancel and their lack of consistency with protective barriers. No response. The girl Vicki at the desk is always nice. She and Kelly the hygienist are great. Other than that, I will never step foot in that place again. It's scary because some people don't know any better. I know what is supposed to be covered and what is supposed to be wiped in a dental office. There weren't even sleeves on the drills and water lines that go in your mouth. I was so stupid not to speak up when I was in the chair. This is your health! Never going back there again. I'm a professional and don't need to be lectured and I don't want unsanitary conditions. How do I know if that lamp was wiped???? Wiping isn't enough in my opinion. There should have been a barrier on the lamp and the computer mouse and keyboard. I know that barrier sleeves and covers are expensive, but too bad. All reputable dentists offices use them on EVERYTHING. Oh yeah, and then those two cavities he filled on 2-14-18? I cannot get floss through the side of the tooth he filled. MOST DENTISTS CHECK AFTER TO SEE IF FLOSS CAN GET THROUGH. I won't go back to him to have that fixed. I'd rather pay a new dentist. Also, read the reviews that "are not recommended" because that will give you the big picture. read more

Looking for a dentist? Happiest patient ever! I have the most amazing dentist. I had an amazing experience with Dr. Satish at Valley Dental Care. I had to have 3 fillings and 1 root canal. I did not even feel him numbing me. Not even the front tooth where it usually hurts. Extremely friendly staff, also. Because of the insurance we had to elsewhere. Now we changed insurance companies and I was able to return to Dr. Satish. Happiest patient ever! https://yourvalleydental.com/ Satish Gottumukkula, D.M.D. at the Dental Arts Building at West Plaza, 1940 W. Galena Boulevard Suite 8. 630.491.6747 read more

We have come here for all of my children's dental needs. The doctor is Amazing with kids. Appearently my youngest got a few small cavities because she likes to hold her juice in her mouth before swollowing, and they were able to calm her nerves and walk her through the fillings with amazing skill. The office is clean and the staff is friendly. I really like that they email me and remind me of my upcoming appointments (make sure that you confirm or they will cancel your appointment). read more

What a pain free Wonderful Experience! This Dr. was spot on in every area. The first consult was a real eye opener! I thought I was destined for dentures. Dr Satich examed me and I was thrilled to discover I needed crowns and still had healthy teeth!!! He truly cares about his patients in every aspect. We discussed several options and different costs. He accommodated me in every area. Amazing! I needed deep cleaning because I never flossed. Have gotten 3 crowns so far that actually match my teeth color Perfectly! The best part is you get your permanent crown on the same day. No temps or mismatched colors. His staff truly care about you, too. Everyone is so friendly! The equipment was in tip top shape and had protective covering on everything. Dr. Satich takes his time and is constantly asking if everything is okay. It didn't even hurt to get the numbing shots! He is a walking Miracle! read more

I don't want to rate because you can't give 0 stars. 1 is too many. Pulling a tooth and knocking out my fillings in another tooth. Foegiveable. I was told to call if I was still in pain for a pain rx...only the lady that answered the phone told me that I had dry socket (no...I don't) and I needed to come in immediately. I told her that the "Dr" knocked my fillings out and was rough with me, she says she will ask for the prescription and call it in to my pharmacy. Which never happened. I got to the dentist for her to repair what she broke and I get a call while I'm in route where a message was left saying the dentist will be 40 minutes late. Eff this place. read more

BEWARE! The worst chairside manner I ever experienced. I wanted to run out of there. Apparently Dr. Satish has never heard of soft teeth or any other condition that would deteriorate teeth at a young age. It HAD to be my diet, or some other thing I was doing wrong. He put me on the spot several times asking me what I ate and asking me to explain my situation. The only reason I went there was because I was recommended this practice for the low prices. But I would rather pay double or more for quality care. Went to an EXCELLENT dentist in Naperville that I have been going to for years. He is compassionate and has explained to me that soft teeth do poorly under crowns. Plain and simple. The crowns will be replaced by implants. I should have never ever seeked to save by going to this office. The most unfriendly dentist I have encountered. read more

I just had a laser cavity removal they newly introduced - I was in and out of the door 15 minutes! Satish and his staff are always friendly and welcoming. Thank you for the great experience read more

I am Satish-fied with the service I've been getting from everyone here. There hasn't been a single visit where we weren't all smiles afterwards. In the years I've been coming here I've come to know everyone and even my kids enjoy their visits. I am also glad that they've taken safety very serious. Overall I say to anyone, get to know your dentist as well as he knows your teeth! read more

Both of my kids who are 3 & 2 yrs old seen Dr. Shah she was awesome and had a lot of patients with my uncooperative 2yr old lol and got him to give her a high five by the end of the visit. Experience was awesome and her assistant Carmen was great! read more

I have done deep cleaning and some fillings at Valley Dental care. Dr Satish is a very good dentist. He does not recommend procedures unless absolutely necessary. He does put patient first. I don't mind driving a few miles to go to a good dentist who is interested in saving teeth and providing good dental care. read more

Dr Satish and his staff were great. I got my teeth cleaned. She did a great job. I Had 4 cavities unfortunately to fix. No one likes getting shots in their mouth. Especially me. This guy knows what hes doing. Very little pain, if any on a shot. And that is a first. Only in the chair 1/2 hour, if that for 4 cavities. unbelievable work, and customer service. I will never go anywhere else. read more

Dr. Satish Gottumukkula is very personable. He puts you at ease and educates you on your treatment. He has always greeted me with a smile and handshake. He has done cleanings to now my 2nd crown. His work has been great and I have bee satisfied with my results. I have never felt rushed. He has always taken the time to answer all my questions. His staff has been friendly on each visit. Office area is clean and always something new each time I've been in there. I would like a little "warmer" feeling in the patient lounge area while waiting for my appointment, but haven't had to wait for than five minutes until they have brought me back for my scheduled appointment. read more

When living in Aurora, I found Dr. Satish to be the best.....after previously patronizing other dentists in Aurora. After moving to Chicago. I still drive there for dental work. I have not been able to find another dentist that is as good and trustworthy as Dr. Satish. I have a friend who moved to Cicero and she has not been able to find another dentist to replace Dr, Satish either. Prices are fair and they take insurance. When you find a good place you stay! read more

Dr. Satish did a great job on my teeth I had really bad pain due to wisdom teeth and after the removal I have no pain and its only been 12 hours! The whole process took about half an hour which was great for me as well! I feel so comfortable with the staff everybody is really nice and definitely recommending them to everyone! read more

I had a crown put on my tooth yesterday at the Oswego location. It was done in one day instead of having to come back in a week I just came back in a couple of hours to have the crown put on. It was easy and painless. Kim Ries read more

Valley Dental Care is top notch! I just conducted an in-service there going over how to be compliant when it comes to infection prevention and they passed with flying colors! This is a very clean office and they implement every safety precaution that they can to keep their patients safe and healthy! This is a great office and I would easily recommend to my family and friends! read more

TERRIBLE. Went in for a simple cleaning. Ended up getting two cavity fillings. Dr. Aparna Gottumukkula gave me two cavity fillings that were too high and it thfew off my bite. This gave me TMD. I have been suffering so much physically and financially since. If there is one thing I regret in my life, it's walking through their doors. Worst dentist I have ever been too in my life. On top of their terrible dentistry, the staff is very unprofessional and could care less about your well being, but all that could be over looked if they didn't turn my life up side down after giving me TMD. BEWARE OF THIS TERRIBLE OFFICE. RUN AWAY, FAST! read more

This location is hands down the BEST! Dr. Sathish took 2 of my wisdom teeth out in 8 minutes, yes i said it 8 MINUTES!!! They do the best cleaning, and do not try to up-sell patients, great service, they have a customer in me, and my family for life! read more

I hadn't been to the dentist years and was so nervous about it. Not only did they go out of their way to fit me in. They made me feel so much better. They calmed me down and we so kind! I can not recommend them enough! I'm only in town for a few months and they are going out of their way to make sure to fit me in! read more

I had to switch dentists due to loss of private insurance. This was the only reputable dentist in the area (according to reviews I researched) that would take our temporary medicaid insurance. The website and online forms were user friendly and I was looking forward to taking my children since it has been about a year that they had their last cleaning. Unfortunately, I left disappointed. At one point during the visit, an assistant assumed I only spoke Spanish and called me back in Spanish. New to the medicaid system, I have come to realize that is common anywhere I go. When I got home, my sister in law, a dental assistant, asked how the visit went. I told her I was not sure since I was not asked to go back in the room until after the "cleaning" was complete. My kids (7 & 9) told their aunt that they did not have their teeth cleaned with tools only with a machine. My sister in law proceeded to explain that using the "machine" only polishes the teeth and that a Hygienist or a Dentist should have scraped the tarter off with an instrument before polishing. I am disappointed that my children were not given a proper cleaning. I can only assume it is due to the state dental coverage. Once our insurance coverage changes back to private coverage I will immediately be moving my children out of this office. read more
