This was my first visit here and doctor was great. He explained everything. He made me feel comfortable. He helped me with a plan for my dental care even helped with referral to the extended care I needed for long time results. I really appreciate the office staff. They were very nice, kind and professional. There was no wait to be seen and I was seen at my appointment time. I really love that there was no wait time. Thank you for all your help!

Professional. Clean. Attentive. That's why I returned to get my pearly's tuned up. See you every six months.
Dr. Vikas is awesome. He does great work. I’ve had 2 crowns done and one was very difficult to do but he did an excellent job.
We had an emergency dental situation with our daughter. We were out of town and not able to get to Higher Ground Dentistry, but the doctor called in a prescription for her despite not being a patient or even paying them. The doctor took care of us because he is a good person and understood our situation. We are eternally grateful.
To whom it may concern I am very happy with the staff and the dentist i would refer them to every one i know all of my family love their services and attentions. They care about their patients.
Always accommodating, love the appointment options and everyone is kind and friendly.
Hygienist did a thorough cleaning. They were very efficient, quick and saw me in a timely manner. Office was very clean. I would recommend this dental office for anyone seeking a new dentist.
I have found my forever Dentist.

I am beyond grateful for finding this dental office. I have high dental anxiety, and did not want to return to my previous dentist. A few weeks ago, I found myself in urgent need of help asap. ON A WEEKEND. I was in terrible pain and requested an emergency appointment online on a Saturday night, and received a phone call Sunday morning to come in to be seen just a couple hours after the call (shout out to Reena, who has also been so amazing in any help i needed). Dr. Sikka and his staff member immediately examined me, and very quickly put together that I had an infection under my crown. He prescribed me the proper medications and referred me to an endodontist, who honestly was also so amazing and made my root canal so easy on me, i couldnt have asked for a better referral. The next step after that was scheduling my next appointment with Dr. Vikkas to see if I needed my crown permanently filled, or replaced. We went with a new crown, which was the best decision. Last week I had a temporary crown put in, and today we finished it off with the permanent. These have been by far the easiest appointments I have ever had. Going into these appointments with dental anxiety can be a lot, but while in their presence, the anxiety quickly faded away, and I knew I was in good hands. Dr. Vikkas and his staff are truly there to help, make you feel comfortable, and not take you for all your money. Not once did I feel any pressure for anything other than what I needed for my dental health and I so appreciate that in a dentist. This is lengthy, but I know these types of reviews help others who have dental anxiety like I do. Thank you Dr, Reena, and all other staff for being exactly what I have needed. I will be back when I can.

Absolutely recommend. They make you feel so comfortable. I used to be terrified of the dentist. I avoided them for ten years. I’m so glad I found higher ground dentistry.

My son and I both have had great experiences here. My son is usually nervous to see the dentist but he felt comfortable with Dr.Sikka and his staff. Dr. Sikka is also very knowledgeable and informative. We found our new Dentist. I would definitely recommend.

"Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that both you and your son had a positive experience with Dr. Sikka and our team. Helping patients feel comfortable and informed is always our goal. We're honored to be your new dental home!
The dentist I've had for 20+ years is retiring soon so I decided it's time to move on. Higher Grounds made the change easy! Super welcoming, excellent work. Definitely an upgrade!

I want to say I had the best experience at this dental office. The entire team was extremely helpful, kind, and professional. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel comfortable and welcomed.
I had a very very bad experience from last dental clinic, it’s very hard for me to trust any dental office . So I came in for a second opinion and was truly impressed by how helpful the team was. They took the time to answer all of my questions with patience and honesty and professional . The dentist took time to explain everything clearly and made sure I understood everything . They even told me what exactly I need to do can solve my current problem and what kind of treatment I don’t need to do in the future ,so I won’t get rid off again. They were also incredibly helpful in arranging my referral appointment as early as the next day. You have no idea how helpful they were, I really appreciated their patience and helpful！！！It’s not easy to find a dental office where you feel truly cared for, respected ,honest, but this place exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend to anyone looking for trustworthy and helpful dental care!！！
