Nisha Dharmani, DDS

The word DENTIST has a bad connotation, but at Dr. Dharmani’s office going to the DENTIST is a pleasant experience. If you’re a returning patient, you’re addressed by first name basis, the experience is personal.
Janet at the front desk is always welcoming and sweet; she’ll make sure you’re taken care of in a timely manner and follows up with appointments made or any referrals needed.
Teeth cleanings with Thuy are fast and efficient, your mouth feels impeccable!
When it gets to the actual dental work, Dr. Dharmani makes sure that your work is as comfortable and painless as possible.
I really enjoy every experience I have at the office! I highly recommend you visit this office!

Th lady at the front desk is not very nice and quite rude. She doesn’t show much patience for making appointments or questions. My mother has impeccable dental hygiene and she went in for a check up. My mother hasn’t have a cavity in probably twenty years. Dr. Nishi tried to give my mother a bunch fillings and recommended hundreds and hundreds worth or work. Just terrible. She also insisted I do a ton of work and redo filling for myself that were not that old. I don’t trust her and I would get a second opinion before you move forward with her recommendations. I don’t think she is honest.

So since my last review, I have had a difference with this clinic. After my initial appt, Dr Dharmani contacted me via phone and apologized for the experience I had with her associate. The apology was honest and sincere so when she asked if I would come back for a proper exam with her, i agreed. Upon arrival, I was greeted, didn’t have to wait long. I have been back here a few times for some dental work and really feel that day was probably an off day for this clinic. Everything seems organized and staff is friendly. Anyway, I would recommend Dr Dharmani to others, in fact, my husband has started to see her too. Good luck!

Recently I needed to change my dentist. I searched around and decided to go to Dr. Nisha Dharmani. I was impressed by the professional way the receptionist talked to me. When I made the first appointment and went to the dentist I was immediately made comfortable by the staff. On meeting the dentist I was impressed with the latest equipment surrounding th dentist chair. The services given and the care taken was impressive. I would recommend Dr. Nisha to others.

I went in for a cleaning here and don’t get me wrong. the staff is super nice and I had no complaints about the way they treated their clients. However, it was my first time in there and I made sure that I am covered by my insurance there. They told me I had a few cavities and I figured it okay, I’m covered by my insurance and that they can do the silver fillings that is usually covered 100%. They didn’t even clean my teeth and said I can just do it when i get my fillings. They then proceeded to tell me that they don’t do the silver fillings and it’s only the white ones that will cost me $ 160 each filling. Now, as a college student, I cannot afford that and I still have bills to pay. I asked for the silver ones and they just said that they don’t do that. How is it that a dentist office doesn’t have a common filling that most people would usually want because it is covered by their insurance? This was just ridiculous to me that they «don’t have» something that all dentist offices typically have. It definitely felt like they were just trying to get money out of me, which i did not appreciate.

Highly recommend doctor. She briefly explains everything you need to know. Very good doctor, very gentle very professional. I’ve gone to other dentist but she’s been the only one who explains why I need treatment. She did the oral cancer screening on me, which no other dentist has ever done. She’s very high tech and knows everything she’s doing. 5 stars .!

After being referred to this office by a friend, I now have recommended all of my friends to the office of Dr. Nisha Dharmani! I did not frequently go to the dentist for routine checkups or cleaning for years, until I found this office.
After years of not seeing a dentist, I friend of mine recommended that I go to Dr. Nisha Dharmani. Though very hesitant, I knew that I had to start a more consistent regimen for my oral health. When I arrived for my first appointment, I was immediately greeted by the front desk staff who assisted me in starting my paperwork. They were very friendly and helpful with my insurance benefits.
I then went to the back office for xrays, checkup, and teeth cleaning. The assistant took her time and made sure that I was comfortable throughout the entire process. The teeth cleaning was exceptional and the Dr. was very thorough in the consultation.
I now frequent the office for regular teeth cleaning, deep cleaning, and have had crowns and fillings. I actually like going to the Dentist now! Dr. Dharmani is very experienced, professional, and great at what she does!

After I wrote last review, they canceled my appointment twice. I cannot believe what they are doing. I am concerning to report this DDS to insurance company. The usually cancel your important appointment even without notice. Please consider this information if you want to visit here.

I have been seeing Dr. Nisha Dharmani for years. I’ve moved to the Tri-​Valley 5 yrs ago and commute twice a year to her office for routine cleanings and as needed for any work that needs to be done. I choose not to find a dentist in my area, because I am very satisfied with Dr. Dharmani and her staff and have not been disappointed. The staff is very professional and caring. The hygienest is gentle and thorough. I look forward to getting my teeth cleaned twice a year even though I have to drive through traffic. I am very happy with the service and professionalism that I get from Dr. Dharmani and her staff!

Very friendly staff that made everything go smoothly and quickly. Office is professional, modern, and clean.

I first went to Dr Dharmani because I had seen her award on best of Milpitas. My husband had not been to the dentist in over 10 years because he was terrified. I was so pleased with my initial visits that I convinced him to go. Now, he never misses a dental appointment and has allowed the dentist to do quite a few procedures on him because she is so gentle. He even agreed to do Invisalign and now has a beautiful smile that he loves to show off.
We’ve been going to Dr. Dharmani for a few years and we have not been disappointed. The staff is very professional and caring. The hygienest (Thuy) is gentle and thorough. We look forward to getting our teeth cleaned thanks to her. Overall, a great office!

Alas! I have finally found my dentist here in California after seeing two other dentist during the past 2.5 years I’ve lived out here (and not being super comfortable with either, especially the most recent one). Granted, I was only in for the consult, cleaning, and initial appointment to get set up for bigger things down the road with my teeth, but I got such a good vibe from Dr. Dharmani that I feel compelled to write something right now after this first appointment. The desk staff was very warm and friendly, the dental assistant doing my xrays was very sweet, and Dr. Dharmani was just awesome– so sweet and gentle! And I felt bad I was talking her ear off (I have a ton of work that needs to be done in my mouth, so it takes a while to play catch up with a new dentist), and even though she has a busy schedule, she answered all of my questions and concerns genuinely and never once made me feel rushed, or gave me the vibe of a ‘treat em’ and street em’ ’ dentist mill kinda thing.
What a relief to have finally found the dentist and office for me! I don’t feel as nervous as I usually do about the work that needs to be done on me, and feel just purely relieved that Dr. Dharmani really cares about the health of my mouth and will have me on the right track to get everything taken care of!

Not recommend this dentist at all.
My plan changed and I selected Dr Dharmani as my dentist and experience was really horrible.
(1) My first visit — I was on time, Dr’s assistant took xray and asked me to seat on examination table, it took around 30 – 40 minutes for Dr. to show up. Dr was busy with other patient. If that is the case then why to give an appointment?
(2) My 2^nd visit — I requested for cleaning, but Dr insisted on deep cleaning. I asked for the cost and it took a while for front office to come, after insurance, I have to pay around $ 600 or so, don’t know exact amount for deep cleaning with my DMO insurance. Paid money but didnot get deserved service from dentist. So I came out without service performed as it required deep cleaning and my appointment was for regular cleaning.
(3) 3^rd visit — scheduled for deep cleaning, when I reached their they lost my file, took almost 20 minutes to search for my file and still couldn’t find it. I had to sing new paper work forms. Assistant started cleaning. (One side cleaning only) Dr. never bother to come and check. Never visited me. Everything was done my assistant
(4) 4^th visit — 2^nd side deep cleaning. Again Dr. never bother to come out and check me. All work done by assistant.
(5) My old crown fell off suddenly along with foundation on one of my tooth and called dentist office around 10am. Assistant answered the phone and Dr was off that day. Assistant calls back after around 2 – 3 hours and tells if it is not paining come on Monday. there was big hole in my tooth and dentist never bother about it. My new dentist said, there is big risk of having open tooth, if it breaks then it needs to be taken out and artificial tooth is needed…
Completely horrible experience, with Dr never bother about patient… only cares is money… not in service.
Absolutely «0» Stars…

Dr. Dharmani is the BEST DENTIST I have EVER been to! She has a calm, warm demeanor — and does a great job of educating clients about whatever dental experience you may undergo… I have routinely gone to her office for cleanings, and yes — must admit have had a few cavities as well — and so far all my experiences have been PAINLESS!!! To top it all off, she called me the next day to see how I was feeling post a minor procedure! THAT is unheard of… YAY! Thanks for taking the FEAR out of dentistry Dr. Dharmani!

I see this got great reviews, but I have to put my two cents here. I had a change in dental plans and had found her in the network. My daughter and I went in for a check up and they found that I needed 2 fillings done and for my daughter they found a cavity. The wanted to charge me $ 800 and about $ 400 for my daughter out of pocket after charging my insurance. I changed dentist a few months after that and found that the work on our teeth did not need to done and our teeth was fine. WTF, Why are they charging for work that does not have to be done? $$$$$ I’m sure they are good with clients but practice is questionable.

DR. D is great and very gentle. Unfortunately, we had to move and can’t seem to replace Dr. Dharmani. The only problem with the practice is the hours of operation are not convenient for working people.

I think Dr. Nisha’s Office does a great job of being professional yet personable with all their clients. Nisha herself is very knowledgeable and Thuy is amazing as a hygienist. The other staff, Janet and Vanessa are also very friendly and on top of their tasks. I have been going to this office now for fours years and I love it… Nothing beats being able to watch movies while you are getting a cleaning. My two yr old daughter feels just as comfortable as I do with the staff. CHILD FRIENDLY STAFF…

Ok, the fact that I gave a dentist 5 stars is amazing enough. I hate the dentist! But Nisha Dharmani and her staff know this and do everything possible to make my visits painless (or at least less scary). I was traumatized by the dentist as a youth but being an adult now, I realize that I have to take care of my teeth if I want to keep them all. So I actually see her and her team somewhat regularly.
My husband has been going to this location for years and when Nisha took over he just continued at the same location. Twee (sp?) is great at teeth cleanings and tries to keep my mind off of what I’m going through. And Nisha has been very patient with my dentist phobia and emotional issues I deal with whenever I have to go for an appointment. The front desk always makes sure to remind me of my next visit so I can’t skip out of town beforehand.

I went there to clean my teeth, the dentist asked her assistant to polish my teeth first, and the assistant polished my teeth with the paste all over my face, finally the dentist came over, but only took her 8 minutes to finish cleaning. This is the worst dental cleaning I have ever had.
