  • What a Joy

    I’m very thankful that Dr. Bhatt was able to get me in so quickly. I was in medical sales for over 20 years and I was impressed at how this practice is run. From the doctor to his front desk, the women in the back in billing. What a smooth machine. What a joy to be served by such an excellent team. Especially while I was in so much pain.Thank you so much.

  • Couldn't Have Had a Better Experience

    This office fit me into their schedule as a last-minute emergency yesterday. I saw Dr. Bhatt and couldn't have had a better experience. Being a dental assistant myself, it's ridiculous that I have high dental anxiety. I hate having dental procedures done. Dr. Bhatt and his assistant were kind, professional, fast, and amazing. I am familiar with Dr. Tankersley but their office didn't have any openings, so they made me an appointment at the Simpsonville location. I was nervous because this was a dentist I was not familiar with. I 100% will not hesitate to recommend this office to my own patients where I work and to anyone else. Thank you so much to Dr. Bhatt and your assistant!

  • The Best Care Possible

    Where do I start with describing this amazing healing space and place? I was referred to the amazing Dr. Bhatt by my dentist, because of some infection, area of concern, and some other teeth that needed to be extracted. He never fell short of providing me with the BEST care possible! Amazing doctor and staff! Let me reverse and tell you about the amazing receptionists, assistants, and nurses that provided the care, love and attention that you just receive everywhere....BUT they ALL delivered the greatest services leading up to my surgery, before my procedure and afterwards. They are ALL AMAZING! Thank you Dr. Bhatt for being such a caring personal professional that genuinely cares for his patients.
