Vivek Shetty, DDS

Wow, I feel like I won the lottery when Dr. Shetty was assigned to be my doctor at UCLA’s School of Dentistry. I needed an oral surgeon to take a look at something my regular dentist had seen while having a routine dentist appointment. Dr. Shetty and his assistant (I don’t remember her name) were personable and professional. He did a through examination and put my mind at ease. He was informative, conscientious, and I never once made me feel that he was rushed. I would highly recommend Dr. Shetty to anyone who may be in need of an oral surgeon. I was also happy that UCLA accepted Medicare along with my Blue Shield Insurance.

I can not recommend Dr. Shetty more highly! I have been in a lot of pain from a dislocated jaw and TMJ for the past few months. Dr. Shetty spent a lot of time with me going over my history and letting me tell him everything I had gone through –he was the fourth doctor I had seen for this! He was extremely patient and explained everything so simply. He didn’t rush me during the exam which is so rare these days. I got the feeling he really cares for his patients. I was afraid I might need surgery but Dr. Shetty assured me there were many other things to try and that my situation was not so bleak. If you need to see an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. Vivek Shetty is the one to see. He is not only extremely knowledgable but also very kind. He is at the UCLA School of Dentistry and they accepted my Blue Cross insurance which made it so easy.
