Dr. Maninder Marlina Manhiani, DMD, PHD

If I could give this review zero stars, I would. Let me tell you about my experience with this dentist. I went to Dr. Manhiani for long-awaited and desired dental care (my employment takes me away for months, sometimes a year or more) but while I had a break I decided to start my dental care. After doing the evaluation, she went over what would be the treatment plan. I agreed with the treatment plan on the condition that my replacement dental appliance would reflect how my teeth have been all my adult life which is with a gap. She assured me that the denture could be created with my gap. She advised me that it was best for me to pay for the temporary denture at what she said was a discount price of $1,000 and let my insurance pay for the permanent. When the temporary came back, it did not have my gap. It had a space so minuscule that you could barely tell that it was a gap and I said that to Dr. Manhiani and her staff. She said for me to send her a picture of the gap I had and wanted and she would have it remade. 

It took me some time to send the picture because my job (Disaster Response & Recovery) deployed me to Florida. During my deployment, I sent her pictures and asked when I could expect the new temporary denture. First and foremost, her staff was incredibly rude and unprofessional and then she backpedaled and said, "Oh, I meant to say that I would ensure the permanent denture has the gap." I said to her how ridiculous it sounded that she would expect me to wear a denture without my gap for several months and then allegedly the permanent denture would have my gap. 

When I came back to continue my treatment, her office claimed that she would not be taking Aetna in 2024 (which was an untruth. She still takes Aetna). Then said my account was inactive. I asked, "How do I reactivate?" and was advised that she would not be reactivating my account which left me in the lurch of finding another dentist after my oral surgery to finish what she had started. How are you not going to honor your word? What type of doctor are you that you care so little for your patients that you cut them off just because they wanted you to honor your commitment? This is bad business, and I will NEVER refer anyone to her office. Stay away….stay far far away!!!!!
