I saw Dr. Kathawala for a filling that had come out. I was in a hurry and she was able to fit me in quickly.  She was professional and very gentle, and replaced the filling with no need for anesthesia, which I much prefer. I definitely plan on seeing her again, we like her so much I think we will choose her as our family dentist!  The office is very clean and well organized, and the staff is very friendly.

I have never felt so calm in a dental office. Dr Samina is GENTLE and very careful. She explains everything and always go slow. She will stop and make sure you are comfortable. Dental visits can be stressful. I like here calming nature and the whole staff is very committed. My little kids look forward to their visit and awaits the “loli pops” they are showered with on every visit.

Fortune is smiling upon you 🙂 Dr. Samina Kathawala is everything I want in a dentist. She is intelligent, thorough and confident in planning the future of my oral health. She will go over your procedure with a fine tooth comb! She is considerate in scheduling and accommodating appointments for quality time. Dr. Kathawala’s technique is gentle and precise. During my coronation, she was a skilled sculptor. Her esthetics are well-proportioned and in perfect symmetry. Let Dr. Kathawala put a smile on your face and leave with a GLAD taste in you mouth 🙂

Everything was explained and the staff was very prompt in replying to my voicemail. Dr kathawala seems very dedicated .She is the best dentist .I am glad I ended up here .

★★★★★

Dr Samina Kathawala DDS is the best dentist I have ever gone to! I’m in my 30’s and since moving to Bergen County 7 years ago I’ve been trying to find a dentist I could rely on. I had my first root canal done with her and it was completely painless. She takes time to listen to you as a patient. Also when she injects anything in the mouth she has a special technique to calm you and make it painless. I will refer all of my friends & family to her.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Kathawala for half a decade. She is highly skilled and I know I can trust her to do things correctly. Other dentists have cut corners with the way they’ve taken care of my oral health, but Dr. Kathawala explains to me what needs to be done and why. She has a gentle touch. I am never in pain after seeing her. I’m 100% satisfied with her service!

Recently went to Dr. Samina for semi-annual dental check-up and got a deep-cleaning. My husband went to Dr. Samina a few months ago for a crown change and fill ups and she did an excellent job. Dr. Samina is very knowledgeable and took time explaining well about my dental health. While performing deep-cleaning procedure, she was gentle, especially when giving local anesthesia to the gums and also through out the procedure. She took her time and did a thorough job, which I appreciate a lot. She is a very friendly person and I sort of feel connected with her though I am a new patient to her office. Dr. Samina’s office staff consists of Anthony and Jasmine, both of them are very friendly and caring people. The dental office is very well maintained and extremely clean to my satisfaction. It’s a rare thing to say to look forward to seeing a dentist, however, I am looking forward to seeing Dr. Samina for my next semi-annual checkup in six months time as I trust Dr. Samina and also enjoy maintaining an excellent dental health. Cheers!

I highly recommend Dr Samina Kathawala tshe is the BEST DENTIST I ever had. I need to do my front teeth. One tooth had a cavity and had the black cavity mark. The tooth on the right was chipped and had a crown which had a huge ugly bond. Dr. Kathawala cleaned the cavity (toward your right in the picture and on left put a beautiful extended veneer!!! I now have a beautig=ful smile and am excited to take many future pictures!!! Never I felt any pain the entire process. She has this “DENTAL VIBE” that you will not feel the pain with the needle when giving numbing agent and believe me when I say… I was so relaxed and even fall sleep during the procedure. She is very skillful, gentle and caring. The crew are friendly they treat you like a family. The place is easy to find, high tech and clean

I was not sure about this dentist. I ended up here because my wife recommended me. I am very picky and hard to please. I was surprised that the dentist was in no rush. Despite my barrage of questions, she calmly answered each one of them. I liked her confidence. She then proceeded with my root canal and I was prescribed RX medication after the procedure but I didnt feel the need for it. As i said , i am hard to please but love overall experience they took my geha insurance . As I said, I am hard to please but was impressed by the overall experience. I will go there again. They took my GEHA insurance. I work for the post office USPS

I went to see Dr Samina, because my boy friend recommended her. Making an appointment was a breeze, and from the moment I walked in, I was treated with love and was given lot of attention. The staff was pleasant and Dr Samina took the time to explain, never rushed and never pushed me for anything…. She showed me my X rays and told me that my teeth is in good health and doesnt need anything. I felt good. I had earlier gone to another dentist and that office told me I had 5 cavities. I would recommend her 1000%. Wish I had found her earlier. She will be my go to dentist. Now I take my 3 year old daughter to her and refer all my friends to this office.

Dr Samina Kathawala is nice, welcoming and very friendly. She is never in rush. She answers and explains every time. I was referred to her by a colleague, I am grateful that I found her. I have terrible teeth. I needed two root canals and two crowns. I also have issues with my smile. Not only did she took care of my root canals ( I had no pain) after the procedure… she did veneers on my front six teeth. The veneers have changed my life. I never believed my smile can be so compelling, and I was very hesitant to do the veneers given its cost but I am grateful I did. Her office has welcoming staff, the guy in the front – Anthony I think – will explain everything and welcome you like a friend. I really have nothing bad to say about the place. I was told there is ample parking on site, and thats true but my car got heated up in the sun. I wish they have some tree in the parking lot. Other than this gripe I think everything went well. They also offered me an in house dental plan, since I have no insurance. It was like $249/year which covers two cleaning and all X rays and further 20% discount on her already low fees. Though I didnt sign up as I didnt had $249 to spare but it may be good value given one cleaning appointment is usually ~$120 usually. I hope my honest review on yelp will help others. I am grateful that yelp exists so we all can benefit.

★★★★★

Dr. Kathawala is the nicest dentist I have had in a long time. She is kind, deeply sensitive to patient pain and very meticulous with her work. She goes above and beyond the standard for taking time to explain things and calm your nerves if there are worries. She also helps you plan out next steps if your procedure requires many visits. If you are required to go to specialists she offers up honest and frank suggestions on where to get things done. I really appreciate her candidness in regards to my tooth health and her consideration to not cause too much pain during the procedure. I have gone to her over 5 times and she has always been excellent with her work. Thank you!

I came to Dr Samina Kathavawala to have a root canal. I am a anxious person but she made me feel so comfortable about having the procedure done. She explains everything in detail, she’s always asking are you okay. She sincerely cares about her patients. I am in the process of having cosmetic dentistry done. I know it will turn out great because she takes pride in her work.

Was having tooth ache (unbearable). I was referred by a colleague. Called, and the guy who picked up the call was nice and helpful. He got me in same day (Saturday). The good – 1. The doctor – Dr Kathawala, did a detail exam and told me I will need a root canal. 2. Didnt push any unwanted procedure – she said if I want to wait and not do it same day, she can write a prescription that will reduce the pain temporarily. I had no insurance, and they offered reasonable cash price for the root canal and crown. After the root canal I had NO pain. Good overall experience. Hope this review helps others on yelp
