Many people – especially children – worry about a trip to the dentist. I was a bit like that until I started going to Dr Shilpa Kalburgi about 16 years ago. Shilpa makes the visit a very pleasant experience, even if you are having major work. I have first hand experience of this. She is calm and has a kind nature, and explains very clearly exactly what needs to be done and the options available. In the time that I’ve been visiting Shilpa, I have had 2 children (as has Shilpa!), both of whom are now patients of Shilpa. Even though I live much further away now, I am happy to travel back to Canberra to see Shilpa. Neither of my children mind going to the dentist because they know they’re going to see Shilpa. Not only a lovely person, but a very experienced professional who looks after all of her patients with the utmost care so I can’t recommend Northside Family Dental enough. I’ll say it again, Dr Shilpa Kalburgi makes a dental appointment a pleasant experience. Seriously!
