Insurance and Coverage

Denti-Cal: Confirmed Yes. Confirmed in the state's fee for service provider listing, enrolled since 1999
Medi-Cal plan type: Fee for service. Medi-Cal dental also runs through managed care plans in Sacramento and Los Angeles counties, and the state list we check does not cover those. If you are on a dental plan card rather than plain Medi-Cal, ask the office whether they take your plan.
Other insurance: Not known. This list is built around Medi-Cal dental, so it does not track private plans. Ask the office which ones they take.

I was referred here from my dentist in Palm Springs for crowns and root canal. The doctor and staff are all wonderful. I’m happy with the results and the wait is not long at all.

i went yesterday to get cavities filled and i wont be back for the cleaning based on the other reviews. i have a med condition that makes it hard to hold my mouth open by itself and i made them aware before what it was. i also have severe neck issues that make it harder. he was getting so angry he forcefully pushed by jaw down. he kept yelling at the assistant who was obviously new and making it harder for her to learn. respectfully you are working on ppl. learn to suction before you get to the person part please. i almost swallowed so much water and the dentist also almost dropped a tool down my throat while yelling at her. nobody likes the dentist so please treat us all like humans. i also paid with medicaid so maybe you like us less let us know ahead and we will gladly choose another dentist. today im in a bit more pain than the extreme pain i usually deal with…

My wife and I are new to Dr. Shodhan's office and she has told me this is the best dental office she has ever been to. Dr. Shodhan is very gentle and his staff is always in a happy, fun kind of mood. We felt very comfortable!

Questions People Ask

Does Dr. Harin Shodhan 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.

How do I make an appointment?

Call (760) 251-2666 and say you have Medi-Cal dental. Or use the form on this page. Your request goes to the office if it takes requests here, and to our team if it does not. Nobody else gets it.

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.
