I ALWAYS enjoy my visits to Golsen Family Dentistry. My Hygienist, Tara was great, as was Dr. Patel. I am 66 years old and this practice has kept my teeth and gums in great shape for more than 20 years. I keep telling them that they should change their name to Golsen Family Dentistry Spa. Everyone is so helpful and nice. Dr. Jill is actually the Queen of the Tooth Fairies! Seriously, great service and even better staff!!

Always nervous about going to the dentist but this has been the absolute best dental experience I have ever had. From very first greeting to check out. Everyone is so helpful and next steps and procedures are all discussed so there are no surprises and everyone made me feel welcome, comfortable and like family

Dr. Patel and team always make sure you are comfortable and are great at explaining things so you have a clear understanding of what is going on. The whole office truly makes you feel as if you are family and cares about you and your dental health. I highly recommend Golsen Family Dentistry to anyone!

I am a new patient at Golsen Family Dentistry. Vivian checked me in at the front desk. She was cheery and efficient. Jet took my x-rays and made me feel at ease. Dr. Patel did my examination and was knowledgeable, professional and took the time to explain my diagnosis and treatment. He also answered all of my questions and concerns. Tara cleaned my teeth while being extremely gentle and using advanced equipment. Vivian checked me out after my appointment and explained how they manage their billing. This is a fee for service dental practice. However, they do have an in house payment plan available. The office was bright and clean. The staff was courteous, efficient and professional. I look forward to returning.

My first cleaning as a new patient. Rebecca was amazing. It was the gentlest cleaning I could remember having. Even getting X-rays wasn't bad. Loved the polish she used as well as floss. Dr. Patel is a great dentist.
