He enjoys educating and communicating with patients and goes above and beyond to ensure that his patients' visits are positive and enjoyable.

Outside of dentistry, Dr. Patel enjoys playing basketball, completeing home improvement projects, and spending time with his family. Dr Patel has strong ties to our community as he and his wife, Mishale, were both born and raised nearby in Germantown, Maryland.
For the past 30 years I have enjoyed the practice of dentistry and providing all my patients with the utmost care for their oral health needs. Over the years I have seen generations of families and it has been a privilege to be your dentist. Many of you have become our friends and your continued loyalty is the biggest compliment you have bestowed upon me.
Recently, I have realized that I needed to find a dentist that matches my dental philosophy to care for my patients. After a thorough and comprehensive search, I found a dentist that was seeking to acquire his own practice that shares my philosophy of dental treatment and patient care. A colleague connected us, and I have determined that he is an excellent match for my search, and my practice is an excellent match for his search.
He is Dr. Niraj Patel and he graduated from my dental alma mater, the University of Maryland School of Dentistry. With trusted and valued input from my wife, Mary Beth, I have determined that Dr. Patel is the right choice to care for our patients and take over ownership of the practice. I have asked him to introduce himself in this letter.
