Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Great Dentist & Staff-if they keep the appointment
I love the staff and dentist. My kids enjoy the visits and seem comfortable. My issue is that they don't keep appointments and have canceled more than they have kept. If you can drive to Fishers, fine but they don't really care for their Marion patients.Three of the last four appointments were canceled and if we want to be seen, we have to take the kids out of school for the day to drive to Fishers. It is so common now that I just wait for the cancelellation and whatever excuse (if there is even on provided). Marion is a high poverty community and this isn't the only provider that seems to market to it and then only offer services to those who can drive to more lucrative locations. I am sad because I want my kids to stay where they are comfortable with the staff but I need them to be seen and what should take and hour can't become a day trip every six months that requires rescheduling with short notice.

Took my 1 year old and 5 year old to Dr. Joshi’s practice. My 5 year old cane out excited! And they were great with the 1 year old. Dr. Joshi seemed very knowledgeable about dental health and other health issues related to dental problems. Looking forward to our next visit in 6 months!

Hoosier Pediatric Dental Group Fishers did an amazing job with both of my children. My oldest is 8 and has Autism; he has had some pretty adverse reactions to the dentist in the past. HPDGF is the first dentist visit that didn’t result in my son cowering in the corner! ?? They were amazing. I appreciated them talking through everything they did step by step and allowing him time if he needed. They also were amazing with my 15 month old. It was her 1st visit and it went great!

My son had a lot of issues going on in his mouth and had had bad experiences with the dentist in the past. We were referred to Dr. Joshi from a friend and we are so glad that we came. He has made my son very comfortable and has been fantastic at communicating with me.

He was awesome while filling the cavity, and even the 2 year old who doesn't like strangers loved it.

HPDC has a great team at a lovely office. They treated my family very well and did a great job explaining their process. The only trip up was being called as we arrived for a procedure to come in 20 min later to let the medicine have more time...when we'd followed the instructions. Other than that minor thing, it was a great experience!

I'm a mother of three children. Two have had bad experiences at the dentist in the past, not at Dr. Joshi's office. My daughter loved his stories! He was very thorough reviewing diet and how certain foods can affect their dental health. Answering any questions I had and really TAKING TIME with me my children, from start to finish. I've NEVER has a dentist spend that kind of quality time with me and my children before. I'm very impressed with Dr. Joshi and his staff, he goes above & beyond!

After a bad experience with another pediatric dentist we gave Hoosier Pediatric Dental a call when hearing they had opened an office in Fishers. We couldn't be happier. The staff is wonderful. The office is appealing to kids. Dr. Ajay is great and makes the whole visit fun whether it's a cleaning or dental work. Both of my kids have had to have to have work done and Dr. Ajay personally called later that night after each childs procedure to check up. Highly recommend!

our son had baby bottle tooth decay and we were very concerned with having to pull his top 4 front teeth. Joshi listened to our concerns and did everything in his power to save our sons baby teeth. The caps look so natural. He did an amazing job!

The entire staff are very friendly and willing to help take time to explain what is going on. Dr. Joshi is very friendly and all the staff are great with the kids and love that I can be present during the entire appointment to know what is going on and help my son not be scared of going to the dentist. I would refer them to everybody.

I can not begin to express my gratitude for Dr. Joshi and his staff. Their compassion for these children definitely shows and the patience I've witnessed, both with the children during treatment and services, to the parents, with very clear, and patient, details step by step of upcoming procedures, far exceeds any I've experienced in my lifetime. They've taken my very terrified 6 yr old daughter (in a month), to where she walks in with confidence and doesn't' cry when we mention an appointment!
