Thakur Bhavana, DDS

I am a first time customer of Dr. Thakur and have to say VERY impressed with her service and professionalism. She really took the time to give me a full exam and xrays and then explained my options for a tooth extraction and replacement. I only wish I could have her do the oral surgery and implant. She was very honest and told me she’s unable to do the extraction because of the location of the tooth and referred me to another dentist who does implants and has a 5 star rating! I will be back to have her help with all her other services. By the way, the office manager, Peg, is so kind and helpful on the phone and in person. Definitely went the extra mile to make sure I had what I needed. Thank you!

I go in about 2 weeks ago because of a toothache. She did X-​rays and an exam then gave me a laundry list of things I need done… and SURPRISE! most are NOT covered by my insurance. I know she has no control over what’s covered but it was just another brick in the wall. She also sent me home with a referral because she wanted me to get a biopsy done on a spot «to rule out cancer» well that freaked me out, so that same day I call the place and they don’t do biopsy there. So I call her back, same day, and let em know I need another referral…“ok we’ll call you back” Ten days later and NOTHING… I’ve even called 4 freaking times and they never got back to me to ONE give me a new referral and TWO schedule me for a root canal which was why I was there to begin with
But seriously… who the fuck throws out the word cancer then leaves you hanging like that??? Very unprofessional
Also the tooth I need the root canal on hasn’t magically stopped hurting
I’ve since been in and talked to and scheduled an appt for next week with a new dentist, Dr Jou.
I went back to get copies of my X-​rays and explained everything to the receptionist, she was very understanding to my situation. She actually called me later the same day «because she felt bad» and told me she’d talked with the doctor who said that she’d been trying this whole time to find someone who can do the biopsy that takes my insurance. If that’s the case why didn’t anyone return my phone calls? At the very LEAST so I could get this damn root canal done?! Completely unacceptable

THIS PLACE IS A FREAKIN JOKE SHE FAST TALKS YOU RE WHAT MEDICAL COVERS AND DOES NOT COVER. SO I INCLUDED LISTENED TO HER THAT MY CARE WOULD BE AROUND 4500 $ cuz medical didnt cover alot of stuff. So I payed 28^th my debit card that 560 $ for my deep clean. Witch I discovered 2 hrs later is fully covered along with the 800 $ crowns she quoted me. And now I have been waiting on my refund and still nothing even after I called same day before the office closed and she still ran my card. Now I have to go leave work so I can sign some stupid ass paper!!! One star was to many!!!

Will update the review later but this is a great dentist and her staff is amazing as well.

NOT A PLACE I WOULD RECOMMEND, NOT A PLACE I WOULD RECOMMEND! THEY ARE SO RUDE TOWARD MEDICAL CARRIER. THEY GAVE BAD SERVICES IN GENERAL. I’ve been trying to make AN appointment since my crown amd my wisdom tooth was hurting so I called but no one answer. So I left a message. The next few days I finally got a called back but I was in the shower, I told the whoever that receptionist was that if she can call me in 5 minute and she said «no, I’m going to lunch in a few min You call us back» then hang up. I’m a busy working mom, so I didn’t had a chance to call back. I work graveshift 11pm to 7 am and would be sleeping when I come home. The same receptionist called me at 10 which was a bad timing but since I wanted to get scheduled I got. and pick up the phone. Then she told me that «so you said you couldn’t come in on Aug 29» and I didn’t even know that I was scheduled. She said she left me a bunch of message n when she finally got a hold of me I’M THE ONE WHO HANG UP? which was a big lie. I was in the shower for god sake. Anyways, then she asked me if I have medical and I confirmed yes I do. Then she asked me if I’m able to come at 2 the same day and I said no she sounded mad and she asked me rudely why I could come when my tooth is hurting. She doesn’t even let me answer and say call us back when you wanted to get appointent. Wasn’t that the reason whyy I’m trying to contact my dentist? To make an appointment for some other day so I can set up my calender on my side? what happens to the Aug 29? I could get that. But instead of working with me and my schedule, she wanted me to work with her schedule which I’m not able to. These people are so rude toward medical insurance carrier. They are a bunch of lies to. again I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

This review is only based on my experience trying to set up an appointment. I called a few times at different times of the day but no one picked up. Finally left a message. Someone called back. But by then I had made another appointment with a different dentist. The receptionist (or whoever called me back) tried to lure me by saying they can give me an appointment tomorrow or Saturday. I asked for a Saturday morning appointment and she said «Sure!». She asked me what insurance… the minute I said Medi-​Cal, suddenly the Saturday morning appointment was no longer available! :) Wow! Thanks a lot, for making us feel marginalized.

I am one of those lucky people who need extensive and continued dental treatment. But I kept postponing dental checkups for the fear of something painful coming up. I knew I would soon find myself in an emergency situation and so I did. Then came the matter of finding a good dentist.
I am very grateful that I found Dr. Thakur. She has a very comveniently accessible and comfortable office in Campbell. She started with taking my X-​rays and assessing my overall dental health and then the removal of two teeth that I had ignord for years. This was my emergency. Over the next several weeks, she went through the root canals and crowns to retain two of my molars in addition to countless cleanings and fillings. Not once did I feel any discomfort. All I did was keep my appointments. My previos experience with root canals, years ago before coming to the US, was over multiple weeks and literally very painful so I was dreading going through it again but this time, thanks to Dr. Thakur, it was very quick and I didn’t feel a thing.
Dr. Thakur has a very nice assistant, Anjelica. They both work together and thus no time is lost. They work continuously to completely cure one problem in one single appointment. The patient does not have to take frequent breaks, disturbing the doctor’s rhythm and that’s how they both get a lot of work done in a short time. For me this was a very different and pleasant experience of not having to return to complete the treatment of the same problem.
For the first time in my life I have felt good about rceiving dental treatment and Dr. Thakur has been instrumental in eliminating the common concern many of us feel, from my mind.
I am certain now, my future checkups will be far more regular than ever before.

Dr Thakur is the best dentist I have ever had. I am so grateful that I found her and have been going to her for over 6 years ! I use to live in Campbell, but 3 years ago I moved to San Leandro. I drive all the way to Campbell to have Dr Thakur check my teeth because I trust her. I have never been able to say that about any of my dentists before. I have very sensitive teeth and before becoming a patient of Dr Thakur’s I used to agonize over having to go to the dentist. This is not the case anymore Dr Thaker remembers where my sensitive spots are and my check ups have been virtually painless ! Now that I don’t have to worry about the pain I have been making sure to go to all of my 6 month check ups and my teeth are better than they have ever been. Just last week I went in for a 6 month check up and I had no cavities and nothing wrong with my teeth !
Dr. Thakur is a brilliant dentist. Her facility is very clean and high-​tech. Her and her staff are personable, professional, warm, and friendly.
I would highly recommended Dr Thakur to anyone I know !
