This was my first visit to my new Dentist. The staff and Dr. Patel were very friendly and the office ran very efficiently. The atmosphere was so different from my previous Dental office. I was referred by my husband who was very pleased with his visits. Nice touch having vibrating chairs. Still hoping to get the electric tooth brush since I was referred by my husband.

Definitely would not recommend. This Dentist office has wasted my time twice.First off, I have never been to a dentist to schedule an appointment for an exam without the cleaning in the same day. The first time I went to this office I thought I was coming in for an exam and cleaning like any normal dentist office, but they only have the exam scheduled and the cleaning was not scheduled which is a waste of time. Fast forward months later when I finally get an appointment to get my cleaning the appointment was scheduled for 8 AM. Due to construction on the road there was heavy traffic and I called around 8:05 AM to let them know. I would be a couple more minutes late and they said that was OK. I got there at 8:14 AM and they told me because I was close to 15 minutes late they could no longer help me. They could have just told me that in the car so I wouldn't have wasted my time continuing to drive there. The office didn't even have any available appointments coming up to reschedule the cleaning. I would definitely not recommend this dentist office.

I wish I could give more than 5 stars!! I fear dental work and Dr. Patel makes my visits stress-free! She is thorough, kind, and compassionate. I always have an awesome hygienist, and the cleanings are perfect. I can't say enough great things about the staff, to include Yami, Linda, and Elsye!! I NEVER have to wait past my appointment time and procedures, cleanings etc. are quick but I never feel rushed out the door.

Everyone was so nice. I'm usually terrified when I'm there but the dentist (Patel) made me feel so relaxed. I totally trust her. The girl who took my X-rays was so nice and understanding of me being scared.
