Dr. Patel and staff are wonderful. They made a situation that I had due to domestic violence safe and so caring Dr. Patel is great at what he does and is very gentle and top notch at what he does something that I needed so much! And very honest, I had received a quote from other places that was twice of what I got here because I didn’t need all the stuff that the other places said, and that means everything to me being on a fixed income and being so scared, I could never get all the work done. Dr. Patel advised me that I didn’t need all that work. I was already fixed in my head. I needed dentures But I do not, and it made me feel so good to have someone to be honest I will never forget the help that I received here and the care and kindness. I look forward to getting more work done at this office. I couldn’t recommend it more!
Everyone was so nice and helpful. I’m so nervous going to the dentist and I had so many questions. They were fantastic!! So glad I drove 30 minutes to see them!
Nice folks, explained the process, had open appointments right away, friendly, I had a good experience, and Rita has been so terrific with me! Amen!
