You're in Experienced, Caring Hands

Every patient gets the same doctor — Dr. Maddipati — not a rotating staff. She trained to understand the whole patient, not just the tooth.

Maddipati
DDS, MPH

A dentist who chose public health first

Dr. Maddipati earned her Master of Public Health before her dental degree — an unusual path that shapes everything about how she practices. Accessible, honest, kind. She accepts Medicaid because she means it.

Her patients often tell her she's the first dentist who made them feel truly at ease. That's not an accident — it's the whole point.

What your visit looks like — from the moment you call:

1

A real conversation — not a form

You call, we answer, and you tell us what you're feeling. No automated systems, no hold music.

2

Dr. Maddipati listens before she examines

She wants to hear your story first — when it started, how it feels, what worries you. Your words guide the examination.

3

A gentle, unhurried exam

She examines with care and takes an X-ray if it helps clarify the picture. She tells you what she's doing as she goes — no surprises.

4

Everything explained in plain language

Before anything is recommended, she tells you what she found — in English or Spanish. You decide, at your own pace.

What Our Patients Say

These are the moments that matter most — when a patient leaves feeling heard, cared for, and better than when they walked in.

 5-Star Google Reviews

"I called in the morning and they got me in the same day. Dr. Maddipati was calm, thorough, and explained everything before touching anything. I left feeling so much better."

Maria R. · Houston, TX

"Hadn't been to a dentist in years due to anxiety. She never made me feel judged — took her time, explained everything, and checked in with me throughout. I finally trust a dentist."

James T. · Houston, TX

"They saw my son the same day and the staff speaks Spanish — wonderful for my mother-in-law who came along. Everyone was so warm and patient with us."

Rosa M. · Houston, TX

"They verified my Medicaid before I arrived so I knew what to expect. Clean office, no long wait, and the doctor answered every question. This is how dental care should feel."

Questions Patients Usually Ask

These answers are general information only. A dental exam is the only way to know for certain what is causing your symptoms.
Swelling near a tooth can signal an infection that needs prompt attention. If swelling is spreading to your neck, under your jaw, or near your eye — or if you have a fever or difficulty swallowing — seek care right away. For localized swelling not spreading quickly, call your dentist the same day.
Rinsing gently with warm salt water may provide temporary comfort. Over-the-counter pain relievers taken as directed may help. Avoid placing aspirin directly on gum tissue. These steps may ease discomfort but do not address the cause — call us so we can assess what is happening.
Very normal. Most patients feel better once they actually know what's there — the uncertainty is usually the hardest part. We explain everything step by step, and nothing happens without your say-so.
Yes. We accept Texas Medicaid (STAR), CHIP, and most major PPO plans. We also work with CareCredit and Sunbit for financing. Call us and we'll verify your coverage before your visit.
