    I recently had my root canals done by Dr. Padma Gandi, and I must say that she is best in her field. She quickly did my multiple root canals, and was very careful and focused while doing them. The good part is that Dr. Padma was so considerate of the pain I was feeling, and tried her best that I wont feel it during the procedure or afterwards. I highly highly recommend her for any dental procedures.
