Our story
Just For Kids & Family Too Dental is a kids and family dental office in Bakersfield, CA, caring for children, teens, and parents since 2002. Patients see the same doctor, Dr. Harsh Patwari, at every visit. We welcome Medi-Cal Dental and PPO dental plans, and we check your coverage before treatment.
Meet Dr. Patwari
Dr. Harsh Patwari leads our practice and treats every patient himself. He takes his time to explain things in plain words and goes slow with nervous kids. As our parents say in their reviews, he is gentle, patient, and great with children. Patients often call him “Dr. P.”
Dr. Patwari was born in India. He moved to the United States with his family in 2002. Growing up in a new country taught him the value of hard work, kindness, and family. Those same values shape how he cares for your child today.
He studied dentistry at Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, Massachusetts. He has served the Bakersfield community since 2019 and became the owner of Just For Kids & Family Too Dental in 2021.
Dr. Patwari loves working with kids in their early years. He knows a child's first dental visits can shape how they feel about dental care for the rest of their life. Instead of just treating teeth, he helps kids build confidence, trust, and good habits. With patience and kind words, he wants every child to leave feeling proud of their smile.
He believes every child deserves kindness, patience, and respect. It is a privilege to care for Bakersfield families, and he takes pride in building lasting relationships with patients and their parents.
In addition to Just for Kids and Family Too Dentistry, Dr. Patwari and his wife, Dr. Karishma Shah, are proud owners of Midtown Family Dental Office, a neighboring practice that provides comprehensive dental care for both adults and children. Married since 2022, the couple shares a passion for dentistry and a commitment to serving patients of all ages.
Life Outside the Office
From travels abroad to outdoor adventures, Dr. Patwari and Dr. Shah cherish time together exploring different cultures.
Our team
Our friendly front desk and dental team are kind and patient with kids. They answer your questions and help your child feel at ease from the first hello.
Why one doctor matters
At bigger clinics, your child may see a different provider each time. Here, your child sees the same doctor at every visit. That one familiar face builds trust over time. Your child feels more comfortable, and the doctor knows your child's history. It is the difference parents tell us they feel.
“My girls have been coming here since they were in grade school. Now they are both high school kids and I will continue to bring them here until they age out. They always take such gentle and great care of my girls and I really appreciate the time they take out to explain everything.”
