Bhanji Shamsi Dr MSD

We've been to Dr. Bhanji now for two years for cleanings, and now (gasp!) our first (hopefully last?) tooth extraction! She and and her assistant Paula were wonderful with my 5 year old daughter, and was very calm, consoling and patient with me as well. (Even appeased me by taking a picture of my daughter's teeth pre-pull.) I sure wish MY dentist had a tv above each chair! more

Dr. Bhanji and her staff are very knowledgeable and work very well with children who are scared or anxious. They are also very respectful of the parents. We went in for a cleaning, check up and fluoride treatment. We were in and out in less than an hour. The office and equipment are all very kid friendly. more

Dr. Bhanji is wonderful - loving, patient, gentle and gears her talk and treatment for what is appropriate for the child. Her office just west of the I-5 right near the northgate mall is a kid paradise: bright cheerful colors on the walls, games galore in the waiting room, all staff totally kid friendly, demonstrations dolls and alligators with teeth to help kids, and lots of natural light and openess. Parents are welcome to be with their little ones every single momemt (some dentists are won't allow the parent to escort the child - that is very poor practise in my opinion - the parent should always be with the child). She has a flat screen TV above the each chair that plays Barney - perfect for kids. The hygenist is super - Ann Marie - very soft spoken and sweet. Their focus is to make it fun and happy. They clean teeth of children as young as 1. No forcing here. If your kid isn't ready - they sense that and move on. Plus, a toy prize vending machine, free underground parking... Dr. Bhanji completed a fellowship (extra training) at Children's Hospital - where she won an award for research. We are happy with her and her team and her philosophy more
