Real words from real patients on Google & Yelp — we're proud of the relationships we've built and the smiles we've cared for over the years.
From the moment you check in to the moment you leave, your appointment is such a pleasurable experience! The waiting room and exam rooms are bright, comfortable, modern, and clean. Dr. Chawla, the technicians, and the receptionists are all so patient and caring. I am so grateful for the exceptional care I receive!
The dentist in the Lotus group is PRIMO. She is very personable and efficient. I have had experiences with dentists in this area and there is no comparison. All the positive words I will give to her without a doubt.
I've been with Lotus for about 12 years now. Never been disappointed. Receptionists through treatment, always professional.
Friendly staff, quick and easy check up. Used visual aids to show potential problems and explained in detail options, recommended treatment and costs. Nice bright office environment.
On time, minimal to no delay at scheduled appointment time. Professional, friendly staff. The dentist is knowledgeable, friendly, takes the time to explain and answer all questions.
Last minute appointment — friendly, knowledgeable, accommodating, with modern updated equipment and office. Also in network for my insurance!!
Great assistants. Great dentist overall. Made my 4 year old comfortable.
My teeth had deep pockets. They are now back to acceptable levels. I appreciate Dr. Chawla's ability to clean my teeth in a way that reduced the pockets.
In 2020, I started experiencing tooth discomfort, on and off. When the pain turned unbearable, I got in for an emergency appointment at Lotus. This was the first dentist visit I'd had in over 5 years.
The office is beautiful and clean, spa-like. The staff is kind, patient, and caring. The dentist is the best I've ever had. She is so gentle and really listens to you. Her injections do not hurt! I drive 3 hours to go here. It's a very relaxing experience!
I have severe anxiety when it comes to any dental procedures. I had been bouncing around from office to office trying to find somewhere me and my son would feel comfortable, until I found Lotus Dental. The entire team makes us feel at home.
I have had bad dentists in the past who have tried to scam me, but I have only had good experiences here. Dr. Chawla's office is comfortable, clean, and I found it very helpful that she has more modern equipment.
The best dentist ever. I came in with a lot of work needed including several cavities and gum disease, and they did such a good job talking me through the process and getting it done. I also just completed my Invisalign treatment here and I am so happy with the outcome. Would definitely recommend!
Dr. Chawla and her team are always welcoming, friendly, and respectful. They show their concern and care for their patients. They always go the extra mile to help me and my family. Thank you Lotus Dental!
The office is very clean and the environment is very serene. I felt very comfortable with Cassandra and Alyssa. They were great at providing me lots of detail about my insurance and what options were available that best suited my situation. Thank you again!!
I got porcelain crowns on the 6 front teeth — Invisalign first, then the crowns. I have very sensitive teeth and anxiety while getting work done. Dr. Chawla always personalizes to my needs. She gives you options and the reason behind every recommendation. She tries to save your teeth before anything invasive. Highly recommend!
5 stars on every level! Dr. Chawla and her entire staff were simply amazing! Walked in as a new patient and I was treated as if I'd been a patient of theirs for years. Couldn't have asked for a better experience.
I love Lotus Dental Group! They have the best staff, all of whom truly offer great and caring service. I also have sensitive teeth, and Dr. Chawla takes great effort to make my experience as comfortable as possible.
I had a great experience over the past 2 years doing all my dental procedures with Dr. Chawla and her team. I did my Invisalign teeth alignment and other dental work. The entire team gives their full attention paired with solid professionalism.
I started going to this dentistry in 2018 while in college and with little money after a dental emergency. Even though I had no insurance, she took me in, onboarded me into her insurance, and fixed my teeth perfectly.
Lotus Dental Group is amazing! Dr. Chawla and her team provide exceptional dental care, paired with healthy doses of professionalism and compassion. I went in anxious from a previous dental experience and they quickly put me at ease.
Dr. Chawla and her team are amazing. They always made me feel comfortable and never made me feel judged for letting my teeth get to the state they were in. They help with financing, and four years later, I have the smile of my dreams.
Can't recommend this office more! Dr. Chawla is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and communicative in her practice. It's clear she cares about her patients.
Dr. Chawla has a lot of experience and was able to address my dental situation holistically and from a highly conservative standpoint. This brought a lot of ease and confidence for me as someone who has had traumatic dental experiences.
From the moment I called to make my first appointment I felt welcomed by the staff. I love how you fill out all the paperwork on an iPad — quick and simple. Dr. Chawla explained everything very well and made sure everything was done to perfection. The facility is very clean and spacious.
No one likes going to the dentist, right? Dr. Chawla is an excellent dentist. She is extremely precise and very gentle.
I cannot stress enough how going to Lotus changed my dental health. The care I received here has been out of this world. Prior, I didn't visit a dentist for over ten years due to poor experiences. The doctor is incredibly kind.
I love Dr. Chawla's office. She and her staff are very friendly and easy to communicate with. While in treatment, you get to watch a movie! The dental work is a great outcome — I love my Invisalign, it's really helping my bottom teeth!
Dr. Chawla and her staff are all so informative with their treatment recommendations and always make my family and me feel welcome and comfortable. She is a very knowledgeable dentist who truly cares about her patients.
This place is amazing!! Everyone here is always so polite, nice and friendly! Every time I have gone in I have had an amazing experience. Dr. Chawla knows how nervous I am and she makes my visit so relaxing!!
My family and I have been going to Lotus for about a year and a half. We absolutely love the staff there and have had nothing but positive experiences so far.
Dr. Chawla and her entire staff were extremely professional and kind throughout my entire dental experience.
I've been to many dentists, and worked for several as well. Dr. Chawla is by far the best one I've had. She is very gentle, kind, down-to-earth, explains everything and does a great job. You can't even feel it when she gives you a shot.
I am very pleased with the service received at Lotus Dental. The office is always very clean and organized, the staff is very attentive and professional, and they really make you feel comfortable.
Lotus Dental Group has been an amazing office to work with! Unfortunately my teeth have needed a lot of attention lately — fortunately, I like coming to the dentist when I'm coming here.
