My son has been coming here since he was a baby (16 now). Dr. Patel is friendly and caring and the office, overall, is great. She always finds a way to communicate what needs to be done in a way children can understand. The best!!

In addition to the very fine pediatric dental care our family has received from Dr. Patel over the years, her administrator/receptionist, Marylou, recently went above and beyond in helping us get a dental insurance claim properly processed. You couldn't ask for more in a supportive office.

Going to the dentist is now a dream come true! When dealing with children who hate going to the dentist, finding Dr. Patel and her amazing staff has taken a weight off our shoulders. Everyone is kind and gentle and really take the time to see what is going to work best for both of our children. And not to mention the team for appointments and billing - fantastic! No more tears when going to the dentist; just questions of which toothbrush they'll or new stickers!

Dr. Patel and the entire team are top notch. All of my kids have seen Dr. Patel since they were toddlers. She is welcoming, thorough, and makes the entire experience a delight for children. Would highly recommend to anyone.

You know when your 3 year old is getting 3 fillings and comes out filling happy, you are getting an amazing service. Dr. Patel and her staff always take their time with each of their patients and explain the procedure so well. I never thought going to the dentist could be so pleasant. All my 3 kids go without any hesitation. Amazing staff and service!

Dr. Minerva Patel, DDS, it's a wonderful dentist and is incredible with our son. He's two years old and had a rough time at the dentist on the first go around and now he gets excited when he hears he has an appointment! Thank you for your thoughtful work. Best, Malcolm

My two sons have been seeing her for over 10 years. We have benefited over and over again from her dedication, bed side manner, and expertise. We actually look forward to seeing her every 6 months, can you say the same about your pediatric dentist?

Dr. Patel and her entire staff are generously patient, kind, and amazing at what they do! Both of my kids walked out grinning and actually excited about brushing and flossing. I was recommended by a friend and now I see why! Would highly recommend a thousand times over!!

This was a beautiful office and Dr. Patel and her staff greeted my son and I with such attention and care. We felt comfortable the minute we walked in the office. Dr. Patel was not only thorough in cleaning and checking his teeth but to also ensure he has a positive experience under her care.

There are not enough superlatives to describe Dr.Patel and her team. Every visit is honestly a treat for my kids who run in and out smiling. The practice is the perfect combination of excellent dental care and a warm welcoming atmosphere.
