What Our Patients Are Saying
I had a great experience at Valley Dental Care in Plainfield with Dr. Aparna. She handled my cavity quickly and smoothly, and the refill was painless. The staff was warm, accommodating, and made sure I was comfortable. I’m glad to have found such a caring team.
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Aparna and her staff for years! She fixed my severe underbite when two other orthodontists couldn’t. The staff is friendly and thorough, and Lisa is amazing with insurance questions. I love my smile now!
Friendly, caring staff and an excellent dentist. I came in with a crown that had come off, and they fixed it right away and gave me a great referral. As someone fearful of the dentist, I’m so glad I chose Valley Dental Care.
The staff is always kind, smiling, and positive, which makes going to the dentist enjoyable. Dr. Aparna has such calming energy and is incredibly patient. Highly recommend this amazing team.
Professional and courteous care. They’ve helped improve my dental health from cavities to gingivitis and bridges, and even referrals for implants. I now come in for regular cleanings with no pain—something I never thought I’d say!
They helped my mom on the spot and made us feel welcome immediately. The bilingual staff is a big plus, and Dr. Aparna Gottumukkula was fantastic and trustworthy. After today, she’s the only dentist I’ll see.
