"I want to be your dentist, your children's dentist, and if possible, your grandchildren's dentist. We will treat you like family. I will do everything I can to present your treatment needs in a clear, caring manner."
  Dr. Neil Bhargava

I was raised in Wichita and graduated from Kapaun Mt. Carmel high school. I then attended the University of Kansas, majoring in Chemistry. I received my D.D.S. degree from Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska in 2001.

I practiced general dentistry in Springfield, Illinois until June 2003. I then practiced in a large group dental office in NE Wichita until Dr. Foley's retirement in April 2004.

My wife Shannon and I have three young children and we spend most of our time watching them learn and grow! KU sports are top draw at our home. Besides cheering on the Jayhawks, I enjoy golf, racquetball, coaching soccer, and traveling.

We volunteer our dental services through the Guadalupe Health Clinic, WSU School of Dental Hygiene, and multiple elementary schools in town serving those without access to proper dental care. We also support the YMCA Strong Kids Campaign.

"It is great to be home. After practicing in Iowa and Illinois, we are finally in our hometown. We are here to stay. Wichita is a great place to raise a family and a great place for family dentistry."
  Dr. Shannon Bhargava

I was raised in Wichita and graduated from Kapaun Mt. Carmel high school. I then attended the University of Kansas and Emporia State University, majoring in Biology. I received my D.D.S. degree from Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska in 1999.

I practiced general dentistry in Council Bluffs, Iowa until 2001. I also held a position at Creighton School of Dentistry as an associate professor in dental anatomy. Our family then moved to Springfield, Illinois until June 2003. Following our move home, I joined Dr. Foley in 2003. My husband Neil and I took over this practice completely in 2004.

We have three young children. I spend most of my time with them, practicing dentistry periodically. We both love children and focus our practice on comprehensive family dental care. Loud kids, crayons, strollers, and toys are always welcome here! We have great "prizes" and balloons – so your children will never be disappointed! We also keep juice boxes and crackers on hand for those hungry toddlers.

In my free time, I enjoy traveling, scrapbooking, reading and KU basketball. I am an active member in many of my church groups, on the curriculum board at the YMCA, and a member of Junior League of Wichita.
