Dr. Patel is the founder of Saxon Dental LLC. He earned the Doctor of Dentistry(DDS) degree from New York University College of Dentistry and became licensed to practice dentistry in 1977. He moved from New York to Florida in 1997 and opened his first practice, Alafaya Dental in 2003. In 2006, he opened his second practiceSaxon Dental. He currently practices dentistry at both offices.
I have been with Saxon Dental since we opened in 2006. My 22 years in dentistry has made me very proficient with dental insurance and other aspect of being a practice manager. They call me the go-to person for all your insurance questions. I will make you feel like part of the Saxon family. Over the years I have built some great relationships with our patients.
I have lived in Orange City for over 40 years where I graduated from Deland High in 1992. I have two beautiful girls and three step-children who I call my own. I love spending time with the kids, fiance, friends and family. In my free time I enjoy fishing, camping, line dancing and going on adventures. In 2018 I backpacked the Appalachian Trail in Tennesse/NC for 4 days.
I was born and raised in Bronx, NY. I was ready for a change and moved the Florida in 2009. I have been in the dental field for well over 20 years. One thing I enjoy about dentistry is helping people get their smile back.
With my spare time I enjoy being a leader and volunteer for the Outreach Ministries at the City Sanctuary Church in Deland. I have 6 beautiful grand daughters and 1 grandson, with my first great grandchild due November 2020.
I have been with Saxon Dental since 2019. However, I have been in dentistry since 1989 working as a dental assistant. I studied at Indian River Community College for my dental certification. I love working in the dental field and feel I am very proficient in all aspects of dentistry.
