Transcendentist

I’ve been going to Dr. Praj (Kumat) for about five years, after having a bridge fail and then having several bad experiences with other dentists. Because of a traumatic childhood accident, I’ve had to see a lot of dentists and oral surgeons over the past 50 years or so. Until I saw Dr. Praj, I’d never met a dentist or oral surgeon who treated me with such compassion and humanity. Her staff are also incredibly kind and competent. Dr. Praj and John, her assistant, are so in sync that they appear to read each other’s minds.The office itself feels like a spa. Instead of sterile and impersonal, the place feels warm and welcoming. The staff are friendly yet extremely professional. I feel seen as a whole person when I walk into that office.I have dental insurance but they don’t bill my insurance directly. They send a copy of the invoice to my insurance, but I pay for everything and get reimbursed later for the portion that’s covered. I do pay more because Dr. Praj is “out of network,” but it’s totally worth it. I’ll never go anywhere else for my dental care.

SERVICE: Recommended. The relatable staff talks to me like a client-individual. Dr. Praj (my primary for 6+ years) provides skillful, precise and mindful service w/ steady hands. Practice is out of my network (w/ some reimbursement from ins.). Fair, clear billing. It’s worth it for me to pay for HQ service from all staff at a “green practice.” (I had a past bad experience at *another practice w/ a rough dentist in a tight space.)SETTING: Thoughtful calming wellness space from leafy entrance, to reception w/ natural light and healthy plants, to treatment room (incl. dark glasses upon request for patient facing harsh lights and to avoid debris in the eyes). Thank you, Anisha, Brandon, Mariela, John, Dr. Ruhi, Dr. Praj and staff! 🙏🏼

Had an amazing initial visit today at Transcendentist. Definitely the best, most comprehensive dental evaluation I’ve ever experienced. Everyone at the practice was impressive: friendly, professional, & competent. Dr. Prajakta Kamat (“Dr. Praj”) spent a long time walking through pictures of my teeth & explaining to me what those pictures show & mean. It’s hard to explain how impressive the system (Itero) is; it’s way beyond x-rays (though they also use x-rays). My dentist of many years recently retired. Though it will be an hour plus drive for me, I feel like I’ve found a new dental home.
