Shivshankar Murbandi

Best treatment dental hospital, care taking and free of charge for OPD

Samruddhi Patil

Free of cost dental diagnosis and treatment with advanced diagnostic and surgical aids is done here. Being a dental college, you are treated by students if your pathology is not severe. But if your case is severe, you will be treated by post graduate staff who are specialists. The treatment being free, there are waiting appointments for some treatments.

Manasi Harpude
