Most importantly to me, she has a very gentle hand. From cleaning to cavities to implants, I haven't experienced any pain. Her assistants are attentive, kind, and thorough.

“I came to Dr. Patel for implant consultation a month ago and the procedures started today. Dr. Patel took time to answer all my questions and concerns, each phase of the treatment was clearly explained to me. She recommends the treatment of my need and does not try to upsell the work that is not necessary. I highly recommend this dental clinic.”

“The staff here cares a lot about your teeth and the doctor is very informative and helpful when it comes to finding the best plan for your dental journey. I had a hard time in the past finding a good dentist due to anxiety so I'm happy I found such a welcoming and calming place.”
