We have all grown up with a mortal fear of dentists and have nightmares at the thought of sitting in a dentist’s chair at the mercy of a masked doctor with his scary looking instruments. Doctors Supreme and Rohini Mukherjee are exceptions. It goes without saying that they are extremely skilled and competent but at the same time they are very gentle in the way they handle their patients. I have always been impressed by the scrupulous attention to cleanliness and the efficiency of their clinic – not to forget the choice of music that they play! Above all, I admire the fact that they are exceptional doctors who respect their patients’ time – you are rarely made to wait more than a few minutes beyond the appointed time. Another admirable quality they have is that if you go to them with a problem and they are not 100% sure of the line of treatment, they won’t mess around and experiment – either they just wait and watch or refer you to a specialist. Over the years, they have been looking after my husband, daughter and my mother-in- law and now none of them want to go to any other dentist. Both Doctor Supreme and Rohini have become friends – we chat about our children, our travels and everything else – a far cry from the scary figures I grew up imagining in my childhood days.
