What patients say about her
Gentle is the word
that keeps coming up.
I was delighted with the treatment and Dr. Kultham was really gentle, patient and understanding. I was a bit afraid at the beginning and Dr. Kultham did everything humanly possible to help me conquer my dental phobia. She even gave me her personal cell number and spoke with me outside of office hours to answer my questions and concerns. Then the treatment was pushed through in record time as I was due to fly out back to work. I would absolutely — and I have — recommended the clinic to several of my friends.
I had personally neglected taking care of my oral health for the last 17 plus years. Then one day I did take that leap of faith and called Axis Dental Care. During my office visit Dr. Prerna personally spoke to me on a level that most dentists don't these days. She made sure that I understood exactly what was to take place during every step of the way. My treatment was complex as I had many deep cavities in my entire upper jaw and had to get this done on a very tight schedule. Post treatment has been a dream, not to mention my pain and overall health improved quite a bit.
I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. Prerna Kultham for any dental work. Having just completed a very comprehensive program of dental work which consisted of the removal of a broken post, root canal work and root planing — not once during my treatment did I experience any excessive pain whatsoever. The decision to have all this work done was not taken lightly. It's one of the best decisions I have ever made.
See Dr Kultham, not whoever is on rotation.
That is the whole reason this practice is independent. Book online, or call and speak to the office directly.
