I definitely recommend Dr. Govani. She is knowledgeable and takes time with her patients to make sure they fully understand everything. The dental hygienists are all positive and very thorough with cleanings!

I had my recent visit with Dr. Govani and she always exceeds expectations, as I have been going to her since she has opened her practice. I am truly amazed every time I am there for a routine cleaning, and or if I have to have some minor work done. I would recommend anyone and everyone to Dr. Govani and her team. I trust her when it comes to my dental care, and what she would recommend.

I was a patient of Dr. Tulip's before he retired & had high expectations for Dr. Govani because I loved Dr. Tulip. I have to say that everyone has exceeded my expectations! Everyone is so friendly, caring & professional! I love that Dr. Govani is so thorough, gentle & always explains what she's doing. I have a fear of the dentist, but they really help ease my mind with their caring nature & gentle touch! Kelly the receptionist (a title that doesn't seem adequate enough), is just a treat! I'd love to bottle up her cheeriness & give it to others! Keep up the great work!

We loving going to the dentist! Years ago you would have never heard that coming out of my mouth! The staff here are great and so caring towards their patients.

If you're looking for a great dentist you should go here! Compassionate, gentle, thorough and kind. My daughter used to be afraid to go to the dentist. That changed when we started going to Govani Dental a few years ago! My family won't go anywhere else!

I have been a patient at Govani Dental for several years. The office has grown, but the same outstanding level of patient care is present. Dr. Govani, Dr. Childs, and their staff are committed to treating patients kindly and educating them on their dental care and procedures. The customer scheduling and billing staff are exceptional as well.

Dr Govani is the most caring and compassionate dentist I’ve ever been to. The staff is great all the way around! I went after not being to the dentist in years and Dr Govani put me at ease right away and never made me feel bad about the state of my smile. I suggest anyone and everyone to see Dr Govani!

I hate hate HATED the dentist my whole life, and actually avoided going if I could.. until I needed to. I had heard amazing thing about Dr Govani and her staff so I gave it a shot. How ironic is it that her office happened to be the same place with the same little log cabin that I went as a kid. (scary!!!) Let me tell you she put me right at ease. Starting with the receptionist Kelly, who has to be the nicest person in the world, to the hygienists and Dr Govani herself. She took her time, made sure I was comfortable and didn't rush. I would highly recommend Dr Govani to anyone looking for an amazing dental office!

Dr. Govani is hands down the best dentist in the area. She truly cares about her patients, and her dental knowledge show through her beautiful work. I’ve always been high anxiety with dentists, so when I first saw her my entire mouth needed work. She alone saved my teeth, and I can now eat and drink pain free. My boyfriend and daughter see her, and also have nothing but good to say. Kiddo just said today, “when do I get to see Dr. G again, Mom?” Beyond 5 stars~ Jen, Kyle & Leona

Our family has been seeing Dr. Govani since she opened her practice! She connects with our children, talks with them about their activities, school, health and well-being. She truly cares for them! I love that she discusses their exam and care with me on a very personal level. Her office hours are conducive and flexible to busy family schedules.

I am blessed have known Dr. Govani since she started her practice. Being in the dental industry myself, I can be a real stickler and can honestly say Dr. Govani and her staff are the most kind, considerate, compassionate, understanding and thorough professionals I have ever met. The key to the perfect doctor patient relationship is communication and everyone at this office is above par on this skill. I can guarantee anyone visiting Govani Dental will love this place and their new bright smile. Thanks for all you do Govani Dental!

I had tooth sensitivity for the last couple days. I told Dr Govani about it and said I could wait until my next appointment. She told me she would see if she could get me in today and I was seen and treated this afternoon. She knew I was hyper sensitive to pain and checked with me continually to make sure I was comfortable. Dr. Govani goes above and beyond, making sure her patients are comfortable and treated as gently as possible. Just like she would for her own mother...

Disclosure: Govani Dental is a client. That said, Dr. Govani is also my family's personal dentist. Both my daughter and I visit her regularly and have for several years. The team at Govani Dental is amazing! We always feel that nothing is missed and great care and professionalism is taken when checking on the health of our teeth. I feel blessed to have the team as our care provider and have the utmost faith in their recommendations.

I had recently had a tooth break and needed dental work on it. I called and was able to be seen that day, what a relief . Dr. Govani provided exceptional care and service to me. I am unable to lay flat and she managed to work around all my medical issues to fix my tooth. I have never experienced such professional care. I would recommend her to anyone in need or just for routine care. She is the greatest.. So glad I am her patient. Peggy O'Brien Oshkosh Wi.

When my dentist retired, I was afraid to go to someone new. I was pleasantly surprised when I went to Govani Dental! They are so nice, and very professional! The hygienists have a very gentle touch, are very thorough, and are always concerned for the patients comfort. I would recommend Govani Dental to anyone looking for a dentist!

Dr. Govani works very hard to make sure her patients are treated like family. It is very important to her that everyone be treated with the utmost professionalism, respect and understanding. She strives to offer her patients exceptional, reliable and compassionate care. She is the real deal. She will remember your name and what you were doing 6 months ago. If you don't want to be treated like a number then give Govani Dental a call.

I've found Dr. Govani and all her staff to be extremely impressive. Everyone there is friendly, professional, and highly-skilled.Dr. Govani and my hygenist motivated me to floss more regularly, and I'm proud to report that I've been flossing for 956 consecutive nights!I have never felt this good about my dental hygeine, nor as confident in a dentist. I moved to Milwaukee but stayed with Govani Dental because of the excellent quality of care that I consistently receive from everyone there. Highly recommended.

I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with Govani Dental! Not only do they make me feel welcome, but they are kind and patient with my 2 year old twins. I was a little nervous taking my kids to the dentist for the first time, but the staff knew all the right things to do to work with my little monsters.

I am a Dental Consultant and am in contact on a daily basis with several dental practices. Govani Dental goes above and beyond to provide an excellent patient experience. In addition, they take OSHA and HIPAA regulations very seriously to ensure their patients a safe, clean and professional environment. I strongly recommend this office.

My husband is graduating from Marquette Dental School this year, and Dr. Govani has been so helpful for him over the past four years. As his mentor, she is always willing to take the time to help him with anything he is struggling with. Dr. Govani is very knowledgeable about dentistry and gives her mentees tips and tricks in an encouraging, non-condescending way. Although I haven't personally received dental care from Dr. Govani, I know from the many hours my husband has spent shadowing her that she is an excellent dentist, who treats her patients with genuine kindness and compassion. She is a big role model and has made such a positive impact on me and my husband's lives.

In childhood 50 years ago, I acquired a fear of the dentist due to some extractions that were badly performed (plus, I have a small mouth that makes me harder to work on). So, when I discovered I needed two crowns, I was considering sedation. I've been going to Govani Dental for several years, having known Dr. Govani since her college days and knowing first-hand about her integrity, so I decided to give it a go without medication. My first crown put me on Dr. Childs' schedule and it was, I'm happy to say, NO BIG DEAL! His gentle hands and demeanor, plus clear explanations by himself and the staff, were a part of what feels like a huge emotional adjustment in my life toward dental care. A relief! Also, they had just acquired some amazing new technology that imaged my mouth in 3D, so I got a "dentist's eye" picture of my mouth for the first time in my life. It was really impressive. High tech AND a family atmosphere.

Dr. Govani and her team provide excellent care and dental recommendations. They really care about your complete dental health. The office team also goes above and beyond to explain insurance paperwork and coverage options. I do work for the Marketing firm that assists with Govani Dental's marketing. However, this is a personal review based on my experience as a patient at Govani Dental.
