My experience with the Doctor was a phenomenal one. His support team is great as well. They work really hard. They work together well and they're really skilled at what they do professionally I definitely recommend him and intend on assigning them as my primary dental care providers.

My experience was very intense, I had major dental work involving multiple teeth on the upper right side, mind you I get so nervous even thinking about preparing for my appointment. Thanks to the Most High I was blessed to have Ms AMBER as his assistant, this 'Angel' was on point from the very beginning explaining to me in detail what she and the Dr. was doing, keeping me calm cause she could tel I was nervous, offered me a pillow under my knees even provided a fan that I asked for, however half way through I had a panic attack because of my anxieties and had to stand up to get some air, Ms Amber was right there offering some techniques on how to stay calm to get me through this procedure, IT WORKED, this couldn't have happened without the skilled and precise hands of the Dr. he was so patient with me and worked swiftly and we got through it as a team. I give them both 5 stars 🌟

I’m always amazed by the professionalism and care I receive here. Each visit tops the last! Amber is wonderful with her attention to detail, fun stories, and amazing professionalism, and yes, she offered me two pillows. I was on cloud nine!
The doctor is caring, relatable with great music taste, and always fast and precise. Kumar did an excellent job with my temporary crown and was so kind throughout the process. And Brenda deserves a huge shout out. She’s truly the go-to person for everything, from reception to X-rays to crown impressions.
Thank you all for your support and the positive energy you bring. You make every visit a great experience!

Questions People Ask

Does Dr. Shailesh Jawale take Denti-Cal?

Yes. This dentist appears in the state's published list of enrolled Denti-Cal providers. Taking the coverage and having an opening are two different things, so still call ahead.

What will it cost me?

For most Denti-Cal covered treatment there is no copay. If the office suggests something the program does not cover, ask for the price in writing before you agree.
