I was referred to Dr. Vivek Hegde by another senior dentist, Dr. Prakash Rao, and I’m so glad I was. I had my apical surgery with MTA and bone graft done by Dr. Hegde at the end of Aug. 2026, and I have had a few follow-ups with him since. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Clinic: Exceptionally clean and state-of-the-art. Hygiene and bedside manner are excellent. They even have an in-house CBCT scan machine, so everything gets done here itself. Doctor: Dr. Hegde is not just the best in the country at what he does; he’s also extremely polite, calm, and friendly. He teaches full-time at M.A. Rangoonwala College of Dental Sciences & Research Centre, Pune as Professor & HOD, and travels a lot for conferences, so his appointments can be a little difficult to get — but totally worth the wait. For my 1-hour-long surgery, he even called in an oral surgeon to assist. I was completely relaxed because I knew I was in the best hands. Staff: The entire team is very polite and professional. Special mention to receptionist Taniya — she’s courteous, efficient, and makes the whole process smooth. Process: Appointments always start on time. Aftercare instructions were given clearly in a printed form. Stitches were removed in 4 days, and swelling was down in 5 days. Follow-ups have been thorough. Pricing: Yes, it’s on the premium side, but so are the clinic, the service, and the materials used. You get what you pay for. Dr. Vivek Hegde is an expert, a perfectionist, and genuinely cares for his patients. Highly, highly recommend.
