I have been going to this dental clinic for many years. But recently I'm not getting the good experience like I used to with my favorite dentist who's on Maternity leave at the moment. The last 2 appointments with Dr S Deshpande was UNPLEASANT. I took my 5 years old son there for a filling and she was not friendly at all during the treatment, she was questioning him "why are you crying?.. he's a little boy who went to the dentist first time.. I could not believe what she said.. simply "Nasty!!". Imagine someone say that you your child on their first dentist experience.
