Dr. Nichal — My Dr. Kind! 🤗
Some doctors treat your dental problems, and some heal the fear that comes with them. For me, Dr. Ketki Nichal has done both.
I had a very traumatic dental experience back in India during my teenage years, which left me so fearful that I avoided visiting a dentist for almost 19 years!
And then came Dr. Ketki Nichal. ❤️
From my very first visit, she has been nothing but gentle, patient, understanding, and incredibly caring. What makes her truly special is that she never forgets my past experiences or the fears I walked in with. Every single time, she goes that extra mile to make sure I feel safe, comfortable, and reassured throughout the procedure.
Whether it's a cavity filling or any other dental treatment, she takes the time to understand my concerns and makes sure I never have to relive those unpleasant experiences.
The biggest transformation? Today, I can confidently walk into a dental clinic all by myself, sit in that chair, and feel completely comfortable with the procedures. Something I never imagined would be possible!
I lovingly call her "Dr. Kind" because that's exactly who she is. Kindness isn't just something she shows occasionally; it's part of how she treats her patients.
If it weren't for Dr. Nichal, I genuinely don't think I would have found the courage to restart my dental checkups after nearly two decades.
Thank you, Dr. Nichal, for not just taking care of my teeth, but for helping me overcome a fear I carried for 19 years. You have made a difference in my life that goes far beyond dentistry.
Forever grateful to Dr.Ketki Nichal, my Dr. Kind! ❤️
I wholeheartedly recommend her, especially to anyone who has dental anxiety or fears visiting a dentist.

Pam the Dental Assistant was exceptionally patient through the process. I don’t do x-rays well, but she was extremely kind and great at her job. Dr A was very good and straight forward on what I needed and what I didn’t-love that!

I ditched my local dentist and now drive down from oceanside to Carmel, Plaza, Dental, and it’s worth it! Very friendly atmosphere, very happy with the quality of work and very easy to make appointments
