She considers herself very fortunate to have studied in India and continued her education in the USA, as both schools of thought have contributed to her profession. She is a member of the American Dental Association, CDA and Yosemite County Dental Society. She loves to spend quality time with her son who is seven-years-old and her husband, Dr. Prakash Sojitra, DDS.
Going to the dentist can be an overwhelming experience, especially on your first dental visit. Let us put your concerns and anxieties to rest. Our goal at Modesto Kidz Dental is to make every patient experience as comfortable as possible. To make your visit as pleasant and brief as possible, there are a few things you should bring with you.

I've been back 3 times waiting for my son to get extractions, the first time 3 weeks ago they made me wait an hour and 15 minutes before I offered to come back another day they still had multiple patients in front of us, they were having a bad day I tell myself..whatever we will come back, I come back a couple days later for them to preform a cleaning and not to do the extractions I initially made the appointment for! I agreed to a cleaning BUT it's not the main reason I made the appointment for my son who's already scared and hates being here. Now I'm here a 3rd time a week

All kidz World Dentists are not the same. We had gone to Kid world in ceres for years! It was like we had never been to the dentist before the told me several thing (needing treatment!) about my oldest's teeth and made an appointment with an orthodontist. The staff is friendly and knowlegable we love it here!

Had to reschedule an appointment once. Called and nobody picked up during business hours. Later, I scheduled an appointment for my sons WEEKS in advance at 10:00, but got an automated text message stating my appointment was at 7:20. So i figured there was a mixup and I would go to that earlier appointment with no fuss. Well the office was closed upon arrival since they don't even open until 8:30.
So I went home with the intention to return at my original appointment. My wife called during the interim to see what was going on with this scheduling issue and they informed her that I told them I would

Dr. Sugandha is one of the best dentist for my kids. Both my kids feel very comfortable with her. She explains everything before and that make them feel secure. She is very knowledgeable and caring. She is one of the best and I’ll highly recommend her. Big thumps up to Modesto Kidz and Dr. Sugnada

BE PREPARED to spend at least two hours for a basic check-up/cleaning. Huge staff, lots of employees- mostly standing around talking instead of expediting the appointment process. And so gross--- the Dental Assistants ALL have EXTREMELY LONG Artificial Acrylic Nails!!!

I took both of my kids here thinking they were a good dentist, I was wrong they put a cap on my daughters tooth and she’s been complaining ever since it was put on in November it’s now march and her face is completely swollen and so swollen it busted her upper lip tie. I had her checked out by my dentist and they said that the mini root canal that… they’re supposed to do when they put the cap on was never done! Now because of their screw up my poor baby has to go to a surgical dentist get put under to hopefully correct this. And I have to pay for the new procedure and anesthesia

I took my kids here because it was convenient and easy to get an appointment. I have two major complaints with this office. First, they don't know how how double coverage works with insurance and tried to charge me my primary deductible before charging my secondary. Second, they would told be both times I brought my daughter in that she had three cavities. The first time I did pay to have the three fixed the second time (within the same year) I said no there's got to be something else going on here! I went and got a second opinion at Turlock kids dentistry and thankfully I did because

I use to love this place but however my mind is changed. I have a special needs child that needed some work done and the lady who was cleaning his teeth seemed already annoyed. Long story short they referred my child out to be sedated for work and noted very uncooperative: how is a child tearing up uncooperative and if they had the proper training and took the time to understand special needs this entire situation could've been avoided. I will never take any of my children back here!!

BEWARE OF THEIR DIAGNOSIS- THEY RECOMMENDED ROOT CANALS WHEN HE NEEDED REPLACEMENT FILLINGS!!!! UNPROFESSIONAL OFFICE!!
***after readings other reviews, seems like they enjoy performing root canals since they recommend them so often***

On June 29th I took my 7-year-old son for his 6-month cleaning at Modesto Kidz Dental- my son had been a patient here for about 2 years and has received treatment from them in the past. This review is solely based on our visit on June 29, 2020.
Due to Covid-19 my son was to go to the back room by himself which I did not question nor hesitate because my son has

The front desk is staffed with friendly, and efficient people. The dentists are great. Supporting dentist assistants are also outstanding. Minimal waiting, plenty of fun toys kids can play with, bright open exam rooms. They take care of my children's teeth in such an excellent manner for every check up and procedure. Love this place, and we always look forward to our future visits.

It is always a great experience at Modesto Kidz Dental. Staff is very friendly and Dr is amazing! However this last time was by far the absolute worse. They did a horrible job cleaning my daughters teeth and the new dentist there at least I'd never seen her before is the worse!!!! I checked my daughters mouth when she came home and was beyond disappointed, what exactly did she even go for they did nothing to her. And to have to wait 6 months for another tooth cleaning, is absurd. I can't wait till her dentist comes back from vacation.

The only person I'd like to thank was the sweet girl who did the teeth cleaning on my boys. (THANK YOU) I took my twin boys, they diagnosed one of them 9 ROOT CANALS yup 9. The other twin 1 root canal and a bunch of fillings. I felt devastated to think that I had to put my kids through such procedure. Well, I went to a different dentist for a second opinion. I filled out the request forms to release the x-rays. Well I never got the x-rays and when I showed up to the new dentist without the x rays they called Kidz Dental for me to please email us the x-rays because we were waiting on them.

The staff is very caring and professional. The waiting area is clean and kid friendly. Every tray and tool used on my kids was covered in plastic appearing to be sterilized. The other parents and children seemed happy to be there and at peace about their children's dental care given there. The DDS asked if I had any concerns and gave suggestions how to introduce flossing to my 2.5 year old. I have heard horror stories about Western Dental which is what my insurance covers and so I am pleased they take me as a cash patient, because protecting my kids from trauma about seeing the dentist is

Our children were patients here but we just had a horrible experience.

We have always gone back with our children and then we were told we no longer could both go back and that it had been policy for a long time. However, we had just had a recent appointment in which we both were allowed to go back.

After this the technician asked my wife to step out of the room for X-rays which she has never done with our 4 year old. We always receive an extra vest and stay with our daughter. After explaining this the workers were rude, threw the materials loudly on the tray in the room and then one technician

I like coming here because the staff is super friendly, their prizes at the end of each visit makes my son like coming to the dentist, however the process from check in til release time is insane. We waited over an hour before the doctor even came in to treat him and once he got in it was only 5 minutes.
