He decided to serve as a dentist in his hometown of Plano (where he inherited his practice from a former professor with more than 30 years of dentistry experience). Even though he has already earned his doctorate, Dr. Jivnani continues to put in numerous hours to study and keep up with the latest advances in dentistry.

Bobby Jivnani Plano Dental has received great reviews for their services. Sara Bonnet says in a 5-Star Google review, “I first came here about four years ago when I had an abscess in my tooth. I could not pay for the appointment, and they worked with me and provided me with a payment plan so I would no longer be in pain. I love coming to visit here. I walk away not traumatized, as I used to with my old dentist. Even my daughter loves coming here. She actually squeals with excitement whenever I tell her she has to come to the dentist. This place was actually recommended to me by my sister who had been coming here for about a decade. The fact that the staff has been here long before I even arrived tells you a lot about people they are. I love that if I have an appointment at 8, I am seen at 8. They don't overbook and leave me sitting in a waiting room. The facility is always clean, everyone's really friendly and the prices are decent. They also work with both my private insurance and my daughter's CHIP.”
Ashley Marie Eckstein also says in another 5-Star Google review, “Dr. Jivnani and his entire staff are wonderful! They may not advertise as a pediatric dental practice, but they have gotten my 4 and 6-year-old to actually love going to the dentist! The 6-year-old had to basically have a root canal done when she was 4, and I was amazed at how they made the process so kid friendly! I cannot say enough wonderful things about this practice. We also adore his dental partner, Dr. Thirta (I’m sure I’m spelling her name wrong!). My daughter actually asks when she gets to go back to see Dr. Thirta again. Pre-COVID, she used to greet us with a big smile and a hug.”
