Totem Lake Smiles: Aishwarya Patil-Ghatkar, DDS

I had to have a bridge removed because of a cavity in a tooth that was holding my bridge. Removing the bridge most of the time. They were so wonderful to see that I was comfortable and could take breaks when needed. Thank you, you made a dreaded visit much better than expected.

Dr. Aishwarya is absolutely amazing! My 5-year-old had two upper back teeth filled by her, and the entire process was incredibly smooth — no tears at all! It was a much better experience compared to what we had at another dental clinic. Dr. Aishwarya has a fantastic way of calming kids and helping them overcome their fear of the dentist. I highly recommend her to any parents looking for a gentle, patient, and skilled pediatric dentist!

Dr. Aishwarya Ghatkar at Totem Lake Dentistry is excellent. She is calm, patient, and very thorough, and she explains things clearly without rushing. The staff is friendly and professional, and the office is clean and well run. Appointments are efficient, and the overall experience feels thoughtful and personalized. We’ve been very happy with the care and would confidently recommend Dr. Ghatkar and her team!

I had a truly wonderful experience with this office. I came in after a not-so-good experience elsewhere, and it was such a relief to finally have a caring doctor. Dr. Patil and the staff took their time diagnosing my toothache and made sure I understood everything along the way. They were patient, attentive, and genuinely kind. I left feeling confident in the care I received, and I’ll definitely be recommending this office to others.

Great encounter. Tanya and Liliana were kind and efficient. Dr. Aish did an outstanding job.

Had a great experience here. Dr. Patil explained my current dental health very well. Shoutout to my hygienist Anna who did an amazing job.

Hygienist Rachel was exceptional. Down to earth made you feel at home. She takes her professionalism very seriously. Her attention to detail making sure every tooth and surrounding gums were completely cleaned before polishing. It’s people like Rachel that will keep patients returning to Totem Lake Smiles in Kirkland. If you are looking for the best dental office you just found it.
