    Testimonials

    What Our Clients Say

    I have been travelling to India from the UK for the past 15 years and learnt of Dr Shetty’s dental surgery 18 months ago from a very good business contact in Mumbai. Experienced dental treatment, friendly smiling faces, No waiting list, and most of all ” No Pain. ” Needless to say i have now abandoned my UK Dentist !!!!!
    Stephen Samuels (U.K.)
    Like most, for me a visit to the dentist was not looked forward to. Being introduced to Dr. Shetty has completely changed my outlook on dentistry. Albeit my UK dentist is has a friendly manner and sate of the art practice, I rarely visit unless in an emergency. After attending my first appointment with Dr. Shetty for a filling, I eagerly returned 6 months later for a route canal and my first cosmetic work. Living in London, my visits to Mumbai will always take in an appointment or two at the dentist. I look forward to having more improvements done to correct years of neglect! Dr Shetty is definitely my preferred
