Shame on you! Banning a patient/child for missing her first appointment due to illness in the middle of a pandemic. Such a disappointment.

I had been with Bala Oral for over 10 years. They were great in the beginning. Dr. Sani has always been great and attentive but within the last 4 years the office has changed. The receptionist are unprofessional and they often violate HIPAA regulations sharing i formation with the wrong patients which on multiple occasions had to be addressed but they fail to correct the situation. Another incident was when they put braces on knowingly that other work was needed so when the braces were removed the teeth went back crooked and then they suggested braces again but after the they did the work that was needed to be done in the beginning.

The dental hygienist they have do not know how to speak with children hurting their feelings when working on their teeth when they may not be up to par. The other one seems to be high and very energetic which really didnt sit well with me. I know its a business and it comes down to finances but when the quality goes down it's unacceptable. I would do a lot of homework and think long and hard before choosing this office. Today will be my last day with them.

Best Dentist ever. Been going there 20 years. Dr. Sani is a brilliant, caring Dentist. Really great person too. He is really good at diagnosing exactly what is needed. He always tries to give the customer a break on prices. I'd give him and his staff 10 stars if I could.

I absolutely love Dr. Sani! He's the best dentist I've ever encountered. I'm comfortable and relaxed whenever I'm in his chair! The office staff is always very pleasant and professional. I met Nahal, the hygienist for the first time and she was great. fits right in! I recommend everyone looking for a dentist to visit Bala Oral Health.

My experience was amazing from the front desk, dental hygienists, and the doc. I was taken back AT MY APOINTMENT TIME which was great since I had to go back to work and everyone was super friendly. I am typically not a fan of dental appointments but with them having the latest technology it really put me at ease. Customer service is excellent and I will definitely be going back!

I went to another dentist with them telling me I was gonna need to remove most of my back teeth and get dentures. Going to Bala Oral Center and having Dr. Sonni take a look at my mouth, he was able to save what little molars I had. Even though I don't go back as frequently as I should, Dr. Sonni and his dental team are the reason I will keep going back. Thank you Dr. Sonni and Nicole for your hard work.
