Sudip Ghosh, DDS

Dr. Sudip Ghosh is an excellent dentist. My family has been seeing him for the past 15 years. He has state of the art equipment. His facility is excellent – clean, very well organized, excellent location and lots of parking available. His knowledge of dentistry is outstanding-it’s very obvious by the # of patients (and repeat patients) that he has. We completely trust his diagnosis. He has great bed side manners. His staff is also very good and very professional. I will confidently say that he is top notch and will recommend/​have recommended him to people.

I was traveling to SF and one of my fillings fell out. I needed a dentist asap so I asked my close friends in the area which dentist to go to. They told me to see Dr. Ghosh. I called their office and 2hrs later they were able to fit me into their schedule. The staffs are friendly and warm. The facility is modern and fresh. Dr. Ghosh is so sweet and so quick I got out of there in 45mins.

I am very pleased with Dr. Ghosh and his staff!
He is tremendously caring, very skilled, and always makes me feel like a VIP. His new office has all the advance technologies that make me understand what the issue is and shows how much he cares for his patients.
While I ma from Southern California, most times that I come to Bay Area for work I make a visit and I am constantly impressed by his attention to detail, and the personal touches.

Overall, Dr. Ghosh is awesome — he explains everything he’s doing and his assistants help with working with insurance companies very well. Neat place, even has Tablets for people waiting. Very personable — has a lot of fun while cleaning. Him and his assistants have a good culture! They do very well to accommodate even with their very busy schedule.

I have had a couple of dental implants and several crowns done by Dr. Ghosh. Highly recommended based on my positive experience. The staff and the doctor both exceeded my expectation. They use CAT scans to place the implants accurately and X-​Rays are digital, so you are able to see what is going on. My treatment was explained to me on a regular basis and on one occasion when a modification to the plan was needed, it was explained why a different post would be needed, and it was special ordered and made available in time. Dr. Ghosh is very busy; on occasion he can be a few minutes late — but for me it is worth waiting. Have been with them for 5 plus years now. My experience is generally positive.

My Ratings:
Quality: 5 — Awesome!
Location: 5 — Clean, nice, and professional!
Parking: 5 — Lots of parking spaces
Service: 5 — Friendly, funny and wonderful people
Overall: I’m glad I changed to Dr. Ghosh, he got me to smile more. He has feather hands. no pain at all!
My Opinion/​Story:
I’ve had a bad experience with another dentist in San Jose where I had an infection after a wisdom teeth extraction. After that, I got scared of dentists. I asked some of my friends for their opinion and after looking into the reputation of those dentists, I’ve decided to go for Dr. Ghosh.
At first, I just wanted to try him out and see if I would be comfortable but after my first visit, I knew I’m sticking around. He made me comfortable seeing how I was nervous to be there. He was funny and so were his assistants. He doesn’t try to sell me into doing/​buying expensive things. He doesn’t rush like other dentists and I haven’t felt any pain. I’ve been going to Dr. Ghosh for a couple of years now so I’m surprise to see bad reviews about him. Coming from someone who’s had several bad and painful experiences with other dentists, I’m finally happy to have found Dr. Ghosh.

I have been seeing to Dr. Ghosh for MANY years and I must say, he is the most comfortable dentist I have been to. His staff always makes me laugh and they keep you entertained… a great tactic for someone who is afraid of the dental (torture) chair. I HATE listening to the drill and the suction machines, but because the staff chats with you and with each other, all the noise kind of just disappear. I don’t believe that they ignore my treatments because after everything was done, they took pictures in their state-​of-​the-​art camera and showed me what they did. They answered all my questions.
In terms of treatment, Dr. Ghosh does an excellent job of planning what needs to be done. If you disagree with his treatment, just let him know and he WILL listen and understand your reasoning. So far, he’s been on the dot in my treatments and I love how he always has new equipment to keep up with the new gadgets in dentistry.
What I am afraid of is going to another practice. Everyone went to a different school and had different experiences, hence, the differences in opinions in treatment. I had gone to another dentist because I had moved far away and the new dentist told me that I needed to replace my fillings that Dr. Ghosh did (I didn’t even have problems with them!) But because I am not a dentist I just let the professionals do the work. I allowed them to «fix» my fillings. WHAT A BIG MISTAKE! I ended up having SOOOO much dental pain. Needless to say, I sacraficed the drive and went back to Dr. Ghosh and fixed the problem the other doctor did… and guess what? NO PAIN! I was such a fool into thinking I can find another dentist like Dr. Ghosh.
I have gotten to know his staff as well and they are just the nicest people. They are honest with you and there is no beating around the bush. Yes, sometimes its difficult to make appointments with Dr. Ghosh. It’s because so many people want to see him! Doesn’t that mean he’s a great dentist? I am willing to wait for his time, seriously. IF he’s so bad at doing his job, then nobody will see him and then it will be easier to make appointments, right? His appointments are sometimes booked 2 months in advaced! But he will see you ASAP for emergencies.
In terms of everyone elses bad experience. Here’s my opinion: everyone is different. Different oral hygeine and different stages of cavities. If he’s trying to save a tooth that I have abused for so many years, I don’t expect him to fix it asap. I feel that it takes time and patience. He sees many patients, so I don’t think he can make EVERYONE happy, right?
Thats it. The only problem is that I wish he would open up a practice here is San Francisco.

I went to see Dr Ghosh after he was recommended to me by a friend whom I trusted. I was new to Mountain View, CA, so I did not know where to go.
The good thing is that everyone seems to love working at this dentistry. The nurses and dentists are all so happy, chatting and laughing with each other. The bad thing is, as a patient, you feel like you are intruding on their fun. It’s not about you at all. They are chatting with each other as you lie there on the chair — no one tells you what they are doing in your mouth, and it also seems like they are not paying attention either. Once I gagged on an instrument and Dr Ghosh was cracking a joke with a visiting ex-​staff, he did not even know. If he wasn’t my dentist, I guess he would be a really good friend — so much fun to be with …
So this did not go down well with me. After visiting a dentist regularly all my life, this is the first time I felt insignificant and overlooked as a patient. It was just not professional.
18 months later I am with another dentist, and she claims that the work done by Dr Ghosh needs to be replaced. It did not even last 2 years.

My experience has been pretty bad with Dr. Ghosh. He did my filling so bad that I have been having pain for last 4 years and now have to go for a root canal. He was not helpful in the follow ups either so I had to switch my dentist. Will not recommend him at all.
