From the front desk to the assistance of Dr. Gohel, everyone at the Gums by Gohel team was incredibly amazing, caring, and accommodating. I was a bit apprehensive about the procedure, but they made it incredibly easy and stress-free. The only minor issue I had was with the stent, but Dr Gohel quickly found a solution for it. I had no other problems, and I’m healing well now. Thank you so much to the entire Gums by Gohel team and, of course, Dr. Gohel!

I would absolutely recommend Dr Gohel and her team without hesitation! They took care of a series of gum grafts for me. Not only was the procedure nearly painless, but the recovery was far easier than I had feared. Dr Gohel is great at what she does, but for me it was all of the personal touches along the way. SHE called me prior to my visit to answer any questions and to reassure me that all would go well. I had to cancel a surgery one day because my dad had passed and the Gums by Gohel team sent me flowers - who does that?! The thought of the surgery was making me anxious and it was the caring bedside manner of Dr Gohel and everyone I came in contact with made it not only bearable, but super easy. Great care!!

Gwyn, thank you so much for leaving this touching review. We're so happy you felt comfortable throughout the process. It's our goal to make the experience as easy as possible. Thank you again!

I have had recent visits with Dr. Shivali Gohel to do laser surgery and can only repeat my appreciation for the care, support and follow-up and confirm the highest rating to Dr. Gohel and her team of dentists and hygienists. For the past two years my visits to this periodontist - for routine hygiene, root planing and even gum surgery - have been only positive experiences. The latest laser surgery progressed so well to strengthen a tooth, with careful, considerate and thorough diligence. Really five-star treatment at reasonable prices. Thank you!

It just couldn’t have been any easier… I needed to have some gum grafting done. I had been putting it of for years. Finally, I couldn’t wait any longer. Dr. Gohel was recommended to me by a dentist friend. Simply put, Dr.Gohel and her excellent staff prepared me for each step, cared for me during each step and followed up by phone thereafter. The procedure itself was nearly painless and the recovery was just uncomfortable - far easier and less painful than I was anticipating. I really appreciate the care they all took to make the entire process as smooth and comfortable as possible. I strongly recommend this office.

From the moment you step in the door, you are welcomed and treated with kindness and respect. The front desk staff are lovely, professional and helpful. Dr. Gohel is a consummate professional. She did everything to save my tooth, which was far more than I could have asked for. It’s hard to find professional dental care, where you feel they are doing what is essential and not trying to sell you unnecessary services. Dental care is health care, and needs to be taken seriously. Dr. Gohel’s entire practice, from start to finish, was extraordinary.

Getting a tooth extraction and subsequent implant is never a pleasant experience. But you find yourself in a situation where it's necessary, Gums by Gohel is where you want to go. Dr. Gohel is the most compassionate healthcare professional I've encountered, and she went out of her way to make sure I understood the procedure and experienced as little pain as possible. She's the best at what she does and you can tell she really cares about her patients. Highly recommended!

I recently started the implant process for my #18 which is the first implant for me in several years. Dr. Sinks, who very professionally accomplished my previous implants with very high quality, is now fully retired. I am quite impressed as to how the technology has advanced in recent years which has made it very easy to undergo implant treatment. Dr. Gohel is super! She lets you know every step of the way what is happening, which works wonders to keep me at ease during the chair time. She checked on me in the evenings of the extraction and post placement. This is extremely professional and demonstrates how caring Dr. Gohel is. She is the best! And her staff is super on top of all this! So, if you are in need of dental implant(s), you don't need to look any further.

img

Jim, thank you so much for the kind words. It means so much to me to hear that the transition from Dr. Sinks to myself has been a seamless one. I am honored to carry on his legacy and am committed to providing the same level of care you've come to expect.

Dr Gohel is amazing, as a professional and as a person. She is extremely competent and I feel safe in her hands. Dr Gohel has a lovely chair side manner which calms my nerves when I feel anxious. I fully trust her commitment to saving teeth and doing what is in my best interest. Her pricing is fair and reasonable for her services. I feel that she really cares about her patients and always calls after a procedure to check on me and answer any questions. She is committed to positive outcomes using the latest technology that other periodontists aren't using. Dr Gohel is the Periodontist you need see for gum issues and I would recommend her to all the precious people in my life.

I was referred to Dr. Gohel by my dentist a few years ago. She is one of the few medical professionals I actually look forward to seeing. She is a calming presence that takes the time to listen, and takes great pride in her profession. If you are unlucky enough to have to see a periodontist, there is no one better in my book. Friendly office staff, no long waits, and fair prices to boot. Pro tip: Dr. Gohel’s office also offers regular dental cleanings. Rotating cleanings between her office and my regular dentist makes for easy second opinions on any concerns.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Dr. Gohel's office, and I can honestly say that it was one of the best dental experiences I've ever had. From the moment I walked in the door, I was greeted by a friendly and welcoming staff who made me feel right at home. The office itself is beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean, which immediately put me at ease. Dr. Gohel herself was incredibly knowledgeable and professional, and took the time to answer all of my questions and address any concerns I had. During my exam, Dr. Smith was extremely gentle and thorough, and made sure that I was comfortable throughout the entire process. She also took the time to explain everything she was doing and gave me great tips on how to maintain my oral health. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my experience at Dr. Gohel's office. From the warm and friendly staff to the knowledgeable and skilled periodontist, this is truly a top-notch practice. I would highly recommend Dr. Gohel to anyone looking for a great periodontist who truly cares about her patients' oral health and overall well-being.

I was having pain and my regular dentist determined that I needed a root canal. She referred me to a dentist that specializes in root canals. After the root canal I continued to have swelling and pain and the root canal dentist referred me to gum specialists Dr. Sinks and Dr. Gohel on Genesse Avenue in San Diego. I was initially seen by Dr. Sinks and he checked the gum and made his recommendation to include cleaning the bacteria inside the gum. When I was ready to have the operation done I was seen by Dr. Gohel (Dr. Sinks is out of the Country) and she made the same recommendation as Dr. Sinks. Both doctors made me feel very comfortable, took the time to answer all my questions and were very kind. I trusted them 100% and was very impressed by their manner and knowledge. Dr. Gohel numbed the area of the surgery by first applying a numbing agent which minimized the pain greatly when she put the needle in the needle for numbing. It has been 9 hours since the surgery and I barely have any pain. I will highly recommend this office. The staff is extremely nice and helped also.

Dr. Sinks was referred to me by my primary care dentist Dr. Milatovic. I didn't want to do the bone grafting and implant due to some previous experience, but she assured me that he is an amazing doctor and i should seek his opinion. I'm so grateful I did. During my first consultation, Dr. Sinks was really patient and knowledgeable in explaining my situation, I told him that I don't want to take any antibiotics in my treatment and he gladly accepted my situation and said he will do the procedure in a way to minimize the risk of any infection, but also warn me that in case of one we would have to proceed accordingly. During the bone graft procedure and ridge augmentation, I received probably the best ever local anesthesia I've ever had(I probably had hundreds during my life). The procedure went really well and I'm having a speedy recovery now. During the recovery, I had some bumps along the way and once I called Dr. Sinks around 10.30 pm and he responded to my surprise and assured me that everything is going as it supposed to. I'm so delighted about my experience so far and would highly recommend Dr. Sinks to anyone who needs important surgery work to be done. Thank you Dr. Sinks and all your staff, I appreciate you!

I have been through many surgeries in my lifetime. I had some heavy duty laser surgery in my mouth today. Dr. Gohel was very reassuring and advised me each step of the way as to what I should expect. I am not a fan of needles (who is?), but the pain was not as bad as I thought. Once my mouth was numb, I felt nothing and we were off to the races. The technician was excellent as well. Back in 2 weeks for a checkup.

I’d never been to a periodontist before so was pretty anxious, but felt relaxed as soon as I met Dr. Gohel. She’s kind, confident and knows her stuff. She patiently answered all of my questions and I ended up having a gum graft per her recommendation. I chose to go without sedation and was nervous about the shots to numb me up based on my experience as a kid. I hardly felt them this time around, she’s got a very gentle touch. The end result looks better than I could’ve hoped for. I’ve already asked about doing the procedure on another tooth (who does that?!) I highly recommend Dr. Gohel and her team. From her assistant to office staff, everyone was kind and welcoming. I’ll be back!

I am a dentist myself and I had been putting off some necessary gum grafting forever. When I finally was ready to get it done, I knew I wanted an excellent surgeon and so the only choice was Dr. Shivali Gohel. She is an precise and gentle surgeon and she got a terrific result on a tough case. I did not have any pain during the procedure or post operatively. The whole office is professional, kind, and takes excellent care of their patients. I highly recommend Dr. Gohel for all of your gum surgery and implant needs

Had an absolutely perfect experience with Dr Gohel. I chose to go with a local anesthetic instead of IV sedation. The operation took about an hour and half, felt no pain throughout besides the initial pinch of the needle when the anesthetic was administered. Her and her assistants had an incredible bedside manner and made the 90mins pass in no time. After the procedure I was warned that the pain would increase over the next 4 days, and to stay on top of the Motrin I was prescribed (extra strength over the counter meds were suggested as an alternative if I didn’t want the prescription). I ended up not needing any meds, felt no pain at all the next day or anytime after. This is not suggesting you should avoid the painkillers, just that for me it felt unnecessary. The healing process was quick. All this makes me think the operation was a fantastic success and Dr Gohel did amazing work. We only operated on the gum line for 2 out of the 3 teeth I was advised to due to hitting my insurance maximums for the year. And after this experience I have absolutely no concerns about returning to Dr Gohel to complete the work. I’ve already suggested her to several friends and family members who have mentioned that their dentist suggested they get similar work done.

If you need a periodontist, Dr Gohel should be number one on your list! I was referred to her after learning that a procedure done over 20 years ago resulted in a lot more work and eventually an infection. When I first arrived and met with Dr Gohel, I felt so relaxed and completely comfortable with the procedure that I was going to receive. Last year in February I had a tooth extracted and she set out the timeline for healing and eventually getting an implant to replace it. I like to know everything, all the possible outcome and Dr Gohel and her team gave me every bit of information I asked for. Her team was not only knowledgeable, but also very kind, not only to me but to my son and wife as well! She even calls the evening after surgery to check up on you! I would have never expected such a thoughtful gesture, but I am so thankful that my referral led me to her and her team!! Dr Gohel thank you for the amazing work you do and for being a kind human being!! I hope I don’t need more work, but if I do I know where I’ll be going!! :)

Dr. Gohel did a great job with a troublesome tooth that I had cracked beyond repair. It is never pleasant to have a tooth extracted, but with her professionalism and her staff it made the experience about as pleasant as it could be. The whole process from start to finish was thoroughly explained to me by Dr. Gohel and when it came time for the heavy lifting she made light work of it. The second part with my tooth implant procedure went just as smooth as my extraction had gone. Thanks again for making my mouth happy again with my new tooth that fits perfectly!

I am quite honored that I am the first patient that is submitting a review on Google for Dr. Gohel. I have gone to a few other Periodontists in my life and none of them compare to the great work I received from Dr. Gohel. First of all she is a great listener and patiently answered all of my questions prior to my surgery. My surgery performed by Dr. Gohel was a great success and the after care I received was awesome. She called me at home after the surgery to ensure i was doing okay. I went to her on three separate occasions for her to recheck me and was cleared today. I couldn't be happier with the results and the fine work performed by this fantastic dentist and her staff. If you need Periodontal work done I would highly recommend Dr. Gohel. You won't regret it!
