Monterey Peninsula Dental Group

I cannot recommend Dr. T and his team highly enough. What truly sets this practice apart is the level of individualized care. Despite having a busy schedule, Dr. T never rushes; he takes the time to ensure every patient feels heard and well-cared for. The office operations are seamless thanks to Sally, who is absolutely amazing at managing the front desk. The entire team works in perfect harmony, creating an inviting and professional environment that actually makes getting dental treatment a positive experience. If you’re looking for a team that truly cares, this is it

After multiple bad experiences at my previous dentist, I came to see Dr. Bhaskar and immediately felt welcomed by her entire staff. Everyone was accommodating, polite, and genuinely friendly. Elise did my cleaning, she was professional and very personable. Dr. Bhaskar took the time during my exam to get to know me, which meant so much after what I’d experienced elsewhere. Five stars — I’m really looking forward to being in their care from now on.

I had an excellent experience at this practice and couldn’t recommend it more highly. Elise, the hygienist, was truly outstanding. She is exceptionally careful and skilled, but what really sets her apart is her demeanor—kind, calming, and genuinely attentive. She has a wonderful way of offering guidance that is both diplomatic and encouraging, making the entire visit feel easy and reassuring. You can tell she truly wants patients to feel comfortable and well cared for. Dr. Lehr is equally impressive: charismatic, deeply devoted to his craft, and clearly excellent at what he does. He combines technical precision with a warm, confident bedside manner that puts you at ease. It’s rare to find a practitioner who is both so capable and so personable. This is a practice built on professionalis

It's a 5 star on my first visit. I was able to get in right away for an emergency visit. The staff was friendly and made me feel at ease. I was in an office that looks out over the forest - very pretty. The chairs are comfortable. Dr. Lehr is very gentle, listens to every detail and he was very reassuring so I was relaxed and he was able to fix my tooth the same day! I would definitely recommend Dr. Lehr and his staff.

Day before yesterday I had an emergency tooth problem in the evening after work hours. Dr Bashkar was able to fit me into her busy schedule @ 9:00am next day. She listened to my issue patiently, took xrays, provided a thorough exam and offered me options on treatment. It was extremely comforting in view of my panicky state of mind with this problem. She is an excellent caring dentist. I'm very lucky to be her patient. A. Church
