Within seconds of my very first visit to her office, Dr. Savitha Siddappa gently removed the barriers that had held me back from seeking much-needed dental work. Her presence itself relaxed me, and her very friendly, warm, personable demeanor quickly swept away preconceived notions and anxiety-ridden assumptions that had until then clouded my relationship with dentistry. From the moment the sharp stainless steel examination pick first made contact with my teeth, I experienced what felt like the skilled hands of a surgeon. The gentle and very careful, conscientious way in which the treatment continued, from the novacane shot through intensive,lengthy drilling, I felt absolutely no discomfort whatsoever. This, I said to myself, is my dentist. By far the best I have ever known. And like her website indicates, yes it is true that she indeed does treat her patients as she would members of her own family. Moreover, she has obviously chosen a staff that does the same.
