I have been going here for years. First off the staff is really great, and I appreciate their support and great assistance with all my needs. Dr Patel is very good at what he does. I trust him with all my dental surgeries, and he has been superb! I would not hesitate to make an appointment, if you need to, with Dr Patel. He is a great Dr and he has a great staff of people working with him! I would recommend him to all my friends and family.( I have had, 2 implants and tooth extractions.)

I got my wisdom teeth out three days ago and it hasn’t been a horrible experience. I got all four out and all of the staff were super friendly. It took about an hour to get my teeth out and when I woke up I felt great. So far recovery has also been good!

Can I just beging by saying how incredibly accommodating this office is. From the staff to the doctor. I've referred 2 family member's here and brought them both in for oral surgery w/ sedation when they were in pain and desperately needed to get in. BOTH times there were no months long wait lists or insane fees/copays. They were able to get both of my family member's in and out in the span of 2 weeks or less! Amazing service! 10/10 recommend. The day I need a tooth pulled, I know exactly who I'm calling!
