Dr Pada is the answer to your dental needs. I learned so much about my oral health, and felt no pressure. She is so patient and really is there to serve you. I went to see her after reading reviews online about her, and I am so glad.

A friend recommended that I see Dr Pada after I felt that another dentist was trying to "sell" me on a lot of dentistry. Dr Pada and her team were thorough and professional, and by the end of my exam I had such a good understanding of what my mouth needs, and a game plan for how we can do it in time. I feel so pleased to have found a trustworthy caregiver. She and her staff clearly love what they do. I had my first dental cleaning with Elyse and it was more thorough than I have ever had before. Thank you for being my new dental home!!

Respectful, understanding, gentle, patient, knowledgeable, thorough, kind, thoughtful, caring of whole person-not just your teeth, Dr Pada goes above and beyond. Last week, she removed an abscessed tooth with the skill of a surgeon and the gentleness of a nurse. Yesterday, I was in for a full exam and left feeling safe and cared for with a clear understanding of what needs to be done to meet my goals for my teeth. Today, I was in for a cleaning and was once more surprised by the positive experience I had with my hygienist and supporting staff. I have left dentist offices before feeling my self-esteem bruised & discouraged by how 'neglectful' I am of my teeth. Not so at Dr Pada's office. Krista made me feel like a superstar and master of my oral health. I left feeling respected & encouraged to continue doing what I need to do to keep my pearly whites healthy. Thank-you Dr Pada & staff! I'm still smiling thinking what a great experience a trip to your dental office is!

I have had a lot of dental work done in my life, and seen a lot of different dentists. Dr. Pada was recommended by a friend, and I am so grateful. She was so thorough and took so much care to show me what my teeth looked like both in X-rays and in close-up photos. She was quite impressed with a lot of my dentistry, and I came out of my exam well-informed and aware of the choices I could make about teeth that need work. She and her staff worked really well together and were a great team. i'm glad I found this office for my dental care.

I am sorry to be saying bad things about people but I feel like it's a fair public warning to express my opinion. I know some of the review for Dr. Pada are good but mine was not. I came in as a new patient and she was late seeing me. That turned me off right away. I understand being busy but she was rushed, rude, and unapologetic. Secondly while looking at my teeth, she ignored a sensitive spot I had on the top right and kept picking at it. I told her to stop but she just kept going. Almost in tears, I had to pull her hand away. I did not have a pleasant experience and this is heart breaking. Either way, she seemed very rude and arrogant so I will not be going back. I'm not sure if there is a comment section here but if anyone can recommend a gentler dentist in kelowna, I would be grateful.

The best dentist that I have ever been to. She is understanding, compationate, knowledgable and genuinely interested in finding the BEST solutions for you. Dr. Pada has relieved my fear of dentistry which had in the past caused me huge anxiety problems just going for check ups. She is understanding, patient and very knowledgable She offers solutions and choices and always makes sure to take the time so you understand everything that is happening with your particular situation. I feel she is in the dentistry field because she really genuinely cares. She certainly goes the extra mile for her patients in every aspect and is sensitive to their needs. Her team of experts she surrounds herself with are of the same work ethic as Dr Pada, so I would never hesitate to HIGHLY recommend her if one was looking for a dentist.

Dr. Pada has changed my life. She was so thorough with her assessment of my mouth, and was able to recommend options for treatment that were good for me. She has treated my bite in a way that has alleviated headaches I have suffered from for decades. I would have never believed that it was related to the way my teeth were biting and wearing one another. Not only do I believe it but I totally understand, and Dr Pada made it so easy to understand what was going on in my jaw and bite, that I can describe it to others. I am so grateful to not suffer from all the headaches I once lived with, and not need to take medication to manage them. Also my bite is a pleasure to live with. She cares so much about what she does, and shows so much care for her staff. You would be lucky to have her as your dentist. I can't recommend the whole team highly enough.

Forever grateful to have found THE BEST! Dr. Pada is an exceptional dentist and person. She is an artist in her field, extremely knowledgeable, skilled and patient. Everybody at the office is kind and supportive. My 'chair anxiety' has been greatly reduced ever since I switched to this wonderful team. Above all, my teeth feel and look great again. I can highly recommend Dr. Pada and Dr. Salaberry at Gentle Dental. Five + stars!
