When I contacted the clinic, I was in severe pain and needed treatment desperately. My molar was infected, fractured and I could feel the infection draining into my mouth. Basically, I was every dentist's nightmare. I was awaiting treatment from my other dentist who had postponed it 2 weeks in a row and an imminent delay of one more week was intolerable.
I contacted Dr. Neel's clinic and though the clinic already had prior appointments, seeing my condition, were very kind to give me an appointment the very next morning (since Dr. NEEL was out of Pune that day).
Located in a very convenient area, I found the clinic to be clean and the people warm.
First impression of the Doc was one of a very warm, approachable yet a very proffessional person. Explained the condition well. Next day went ahead with the surgery. A 30 mins surgery turned out to be one and a half hours long! It was definitely a long tiresome case for the doctor yet he had not a hint of irritation, annoyance or tiredness around him and made sure that I was comfortable throughout the procedure. A very 'light' hand.
Post op care, meds and procedure along with follow up was very nicely explained by him and the other doctor in the clinic. Though this surgery was much mpre extensive than my previous two impacted tooth removal, it has given me the least amount of post- op pain too. Kudos to Dr Bhatavadekar and his team!

Neel is very well informed about the present technology & advancements in his field.
Takes his time to explain in depth the course of action with timelines. Does not rush, to get to the next patient as most dentists quite often do.
Clinic is hygienic & clean at all times.
Staff is very good.
Would highly recommend CLARUS DENTAL SPECIALITIES.

I was very impressed with the kind and efficient service of all the staff. Doctor Neel Bhatavadekar explained everything to me and made me feel very comfortable. While I was getting my teeth cleaned and polished by the dental nurse he frequently visited the room and checked in on me. He also appeared to be conscious of expense and not just suggesting things for his financial benefit but suggesting only necessary treatment and giving options along the way. Something I was very appreciative of. I can only say good things about Clarus Dental surgery and all their staff. Thank you for the treatment so far.

**** ** *** **** ******* **** **** *** He's extremely professional and very smart, and is able to give you the correct diagnosis and treatment. The surgeon he called to his clinic for my wisdom tooth extraction was excellent and I had zero pain during and after the procedure. The doctor also gives very good advice about general daily dental hygiene. His rates are on par with other dentists in Pune and the clinic staff are very upfront about charges before you undergo any procedure. Highly recommended!

I have been Dr Bhatavadekar's patient for over a decade when dental service was needed during my stay in India. I had my treatment in the USA for over 40 years at the World Bank affiliated dentist in Washington DC. Clarus' services are on par with Dr Rosenbaum's practice and is hands over heal superior than normal dentists in the US as well as in India. His staff is excellent, polite and service oriented. The assistant dentist Dr Sudiksha sports the lightest - painless gentle touch one can expect at a dentist's. All in all, I think Neel is a gem of a dentist. I wish him the best future for his professional progress and success.

Dr. Neel was recommended to me by a friend. I needed to see the doctor for an emergency situation. I broke off my existing cap from my front tooth. He responded to my evening call with patience and genuine reassurance that everything will be fine. I had to see him multiple times to completely restore my tooth. At every visit, I experienced the same. Zero waiting time, the offce is hygienic, clean, very , his patience, calm and reassuring attitude, and his friendly and attentive staff proved me that Dr.Neel and his entire office is the place you need to visit with any dental problems.

Nicce list of treatment options, need to be a dentist to tic all applicable procedures, I am sure I missed plenty.
Treatment started about one (1) year ago, general make over including implants. Despite the fact that dental treatment is not my favourite pastime Dr. Neel and his team always made me feel comfortable within the natural limits of the trade.
The fact that individual tasks are distributed between specialists shows a high degree of professionalism.
I can only recommend this dental clinic in Pune to anyone who needs more than plaque removal
As a smoker and a rare dentist visitor over more than half of my life, but today with quite some periodontics issues running the mid-age I visited Dr. Neel Bhatavadekar on my own internet search. I needed a Periodontics Specialist and with him I found a, better THE real good and nice one!
We had quite some sessions so far. After initial scalping & cleaning we had a root canal treatment. For this he brought a specialist (he has a good network I believe), not doing it himself since not of his main competence and scope. This was the first very positive experience to me not to show up as the hero who can do it all but knowing clearly where he is god in and where others are better in.
We then had together a flap procedure with bone grafting around the moving root canal treated tooth and little time later a gum graft procedure in almost all areas in one session, and here it comes!
Neel explained the whole mission very well from the beginning, underplayed it with past realized photos (before-after) using them for teaching. During his surgeries I could see that he was completely in to it, well concentrated and well-focused knowing obviously very well what he is doing. Around the “job” itself he cares very well for his patients, he calls even weekends to see how you are.
To summarize it: I like Dr. Neel Bhatavadekar a lot for being very clear communication, surely well experienced and a very warm-hearted guy. He assures you of no pain and makes you really feeling comfortable even at most uncomfortable procedures!!!
He would be MY dentist for life if I wouldn’t leave India soon.
By the way, the bone grafted and root canal treated corner-tooth moves daily less and less, long years infection is gone and another one tooth to come to get happily treated.
Neel managed to take my long years fear of visiting dentists which I had for some reasons since young age. I can’t say I enjoy visiting dentists now (there other pleasures too, right?) , but in a way I do very much enjoy to see Neel. Dr. Neel Bhatavadekar is doing an extremely good and specialized job on periodontics issues and with great social care, creating a very comfortable atmosphere and so I will always for 110% recommend him.
Best regards,
Michael
