      I had a dental emergency come up and I was looking for someone in the area who would be compassionate and able to see me in a reasonable amount of time. When I read the reviews, I didn't see any about Dr. Kalra who recently took over the business. The only available reviews were of the previous dentist so I wanted to let people know that Dr. Amit Kalra is great. I have a lot of anxiety about going to the dentist, and he was patient, personable and understanding. Everyone I have encountered at the office has been friendly and knowledgeable which helps set my mind at ease. If you are looking for a dental provider in the Sauk Valley area, I highly recommend Dental Care of Sterling.
