I had a great experience. Dr. Patel and his staff are fantastic and I don't say that to mean "overall it was a great visit" or "despite 'fill-in-the blank' happening, my visit was very positive" or other statement that has to be qualified. What I mean is that there was not a bad part of this process. I am 16 hours removed from my first root canal and I. Have. Not. Felt. ANY. Pain. None. I felt no pain in the chair, I felt no pain yesterday afternoon, and I am feeling none this morning. Dr. Patel exudes an air of competence that I found very comforting and it made everything go so smoothly. I'm a high anxiety patient who is unreasonably terrified of dental work and I'm a jerk for not remembering the name of the Dental Assistant from my first visit, but her soothing and professional bedside manner kept me there feeling listened to and safe at my first visit and 'Cassie' was fantastic in the same role the day of the root canal. They treated me with such compassion and I am so appreciative. 'Jay' handled my cleaning and I can't say enough; I've never had a cleaning go better and she took the time to answer all of my questions and talked me through everything. She is a goddess. The front office staff has been judged very harshly in these reviews and I can only say that I found them to be helpful and accommodating. This is the practice you're looking for. You should call. read more

** DO NOT BRING YOUR KIDS HERE** ZERO STARS. -BEWARE OF THE 5 STAR REVIEWS (( This practice is asking anyone and everyone to leave them a 5 star review, just to increase there rating. There are signs in the office begging for reviews and just look at the positive reviewers last names and photos. All freinds/family )) DO NOT BRING YOUR CHILDREN HERE!! Dr. Patels primary focus is his bank account. absolute joke of a DR. Make sure you triple check your bills and appointments as they will try and double bill or over bill you for things. my daughters procedure was suppose to be a frenectomy and filling in ONE APPOINTMENT. Like the selfish money hungry people they are, they scheduled 2 appointments one for the filing and one for the frenectomy. so I was given 2 estimated bills about 200$ a piece, Both bills also had charges for nitrous oxide. I was concerned about my child having nitrous used on her twice and asked why the filling and frenectomy were not being done together in 1 appointment . I was first told it wasn't possible. after I kept questioning the women on the phone she went to talk with Patel and came back saying they would "allow me" to merge the two appointments. (so kind of them to allow me to keep the money(about 200$) they tried to screw me out off, by making 2 appointments with nitrous instead of one.) on sept. 14th my daughter had her procedure . . .which was a horrific nightmare. I was charged 100$ for nitrous and while they put the mask on her face they never talked her through taking calming breathes. she was upset and crying and saying she could still feel where they had " already numbed" . . .both patel and the hygienist kept telling my daughter " No Reason To Cry" & they would show her the tools first, or explain first before they did anything, just so she would calm down or mover her hands from blocking her face. . but they never did explain or show her creating alot of fear an disturst for my 8 yr old. in the end they had another hygienist come in at the last second to abruptly hold my daughters arms down, at this point she was screaming in fear and pain as patel began to slide a laser tool back and forth on her frenulum. Id also like to let everyone know just in case you decide to traumatize your child here, they Will Deny your request for a school note stating, " we have patients that get dental implants and are back to work in 2 days" Now I'm not gunna even get into how ridiculous comparing an adult and childs recovery period is. but it speaks volumes on patels arrogance and lack of compassion for his patients especially children. They will also over exagerate the amount of days you requested the note for and not return ur phone call requesting the note. just an overall terrible dentistry. ** & AGAIN BEWARE OF THOSE FAKED 5 STAR REVIEWS FROM FRIENDS AND FAMILY OF PATEL** read more

I completed the Six Month Smiles program at Hershey Dental in 2015. My treatment focused only on my upper teeth because that was where my cosmetic concerns were (flared front teeth). After treatment, I was given a bonded lingual retainer behind my two front teeth. Over time, I noticed my teeth beginning to shift again. I returned to the office to discuss my options and was provided with a single Essix retainer. When that retainer eventually broke, I reached out by email hoping to obtain a replacement. I was told there wasn't much they could do to help me, which was disappointing since I wanted to maintain the results of my treatment. Unfortunately, my teeth continued to shift to the point that I ultimately had to start a completely new treatment (Invisalign) in 2024, which I completed in 2026. This meant additional time, expense, and inconvenience years after my original orthodontic treatment. I understand that teeth can naturally move over time and that retainers require maintenance, but I wish I had received more comprehensive long-term guidance and support when I sought help. My experience left me feeling that maintaining my results became my responsibility without adequate assistance from the practice read more

First I've got to admit the office is state of the art and nurses who I had contact with were very pleasant That said, I gave Dr. Patel and his practice over $40,000 for a full dental implant procedure, on one of those occasions the office made a mistake and scheduled me for the wrong day so when I showed up there, I was upset with them because they clearly were mistaken. I had the actual text message with the day and time I was supposed to be there and showed them that then they got me in. Today, almost 6 months later I get a letter from their office stating that I am no longer welcome there because of so-called inappropriate conduct with staff And I am no longer welcome in the building Well, now that I've got a full set of been planting you've got $40,000 of mine of course you don't need me back in the office. You're a thief and a con artist. I will make it my whole life's mission to always tell this story and post it wherever I please. Disrespectfully, David Barth read more

Hello! My name is William Maldonado. I'm an unsatisfied customer. I had an appointment at 12:15 today. When I went to the front desk, I showed my insurance card to the girl working there. The card is a dental card that my employer provided me with two days ago. The girl took a look at the card and simply expressed that it was a medical insurance card rather than a dental card. I showed her that the card clearly says: dental card. When we proceeded with the dental cleaning the dental hygienist( Rany) just removed the tartar formation in my front teeth not the ones in the back, also polishing my teeth with a special paste or pumice to remove plaque and stains was a forgotten step which is needed to leave my teeth smooth and shiny, this step was forgotten or simply the hygienist was in a rush. Another step which I did not receive or was purposely forgotten due to poor professionalism or lack of knowledge was flossing between my teeth to remove remaining plaque or debris. 2 steps were forgotten and made me think about the professionalism of the staff working there and how they are going to manage to keep customers going to their practice. The poor procedure of removing tartar formation just from the front teeth and not from the rest, in addition to no flossing or polishing clients teeth, demonstrates a substandard kind of care that should not be given in the USA. Overall rating = substandard dental care, worst than mediocre. read more

DO NOT GO HERE! Long story short, my wife has had perfect dental hygiene. She went to this place for a routine checkup, cause there were no appt available at others. This place told her she needed 3 fillings and could give her more if she agreed. She reluctantly went w the fillings (and paid for them), only to find out in her most recent checkup at her normal dentist that she has NO fillings nor cavities. Her teeth are in excellent shape. This place is very bad! read more

Worst dentist I've ever been to and I refuse to go back. I went in today for an extraction, I knew it was going to be unpleasant and let them do whatever they needed to do to get the job done. The dentist I had was such a bitch to me the whole time. Bitching at me for tensing when she would give me a shot, then yelling at me for not being numb yet. Then when they asked if I used medical marijuana and I said yes the assistant said that's why it's taking me longer to get numb. Then the dentist said I need to cooperate better and that me using medical marijuana is the reason for everything. Then when the tooth was first loosened, it sent shooting pain into my jaw and I yelled, I couldn't help it and she yelled at me so much I started crying. Then she threatened to make me go to the oral surgeon with the tooth half out and in pain. She held onto my jaw so hard and yanked the tooth out and then yelled at me for crying and was so fucking mean My jaw feels like it's shifted to the right, my chin is bruised from how hard she pushed on me while pulling my tooth out. I've never been treated so poorly at a dentist before. If I was in pain beforehand they would stop, numb me more and then try again. Not this dentist. She also was kind enough to let me know I was disrupting her lunch hour read more

Had an appointment scheduled for tomorrow. Received no typical confirmation today prior so just called and I was informed my insurance is no longer covered. Received no notice of this ever. Now I must find a new dentist that takes my insurance and probably wait months. Not happy poor business practice. Dr Patel and staff push their Hershey Dental Care insurance and electric toothbrushes also very hard. Not happy atleast let me know my appointment was canceled and I was no longer covered. Dr. Patel seems a bit unethical at times too pushing his services with up charges. Staff was always nice but Dr. Patel does not seem the most ethical and prioritizes only profits. read more

This dentist is not only rude, & unethical, he is a scam artist. Dr. Patel is disrespectful Liar. He cancels appointments he made himself, he is terrible to children and he is extremely horrible to people with "bad" insurance. He attempted on several occasions to blatantly lie & claim 40k+ worth of work needed to be done (later confirmed to be false by my new dentist) He likes to hold his authority over people and say things like "good luck finding another dentist with your insurance" He shouldn't even be allowed to practice, PERIOD. He also contacts and threatens to sue anyone who leaves a negative (truthful) review. read more

I have had an issue every single appointment I've scheduled here. Twice I was told I didn't have an appointment scheduled even though I had the cards filled out by the office to verify I was told I did. It was extremely difficult to reschedule those appointments when their availability is booked out well over a year. Today I was told the appointment they scheduled me for, for this week wouldn't work because my insurance wouldn't cover it until May. I ended up having to schedule a July appointment that I will struggle to make because the next available isn't until after January 2024 (8+ months out). Also, if I wouldn't have called prior to confirm I would have went to this appointment and had to pay out of pocket for it. If you're looking for a reliable dentist, unfortunately this is not the one for you. read more

An absolute disaster of a dentist. I wouldn't trust him with an animal let alone a person. I went to have a tooth pulled. After giving me shots of novocain he let me sit....and sit. Next thing he says that the next patient has arrived so there's no time to pull my tooth. When I pushed the issue he told me they would no longer see me as a patient and he actually called the cops on me. After reading other comments I'm not the first time he's done such a thing. The work I did have done there was half assed at best. It had to be redone by a real professional less than a year later. Beware going to him. Save yourself some time and do to Dr. Mayes right down the street read more

My teenage daughter loves Dr. Rani- she is so efficient and makes it a priority to make my daughter comfortable in every way. Any cavities have been taken care of quickly and done right the first time, which gives me peace of mind and makes our visits much more positive. The dental assistants have also been kind and effective - we really appreciate this office and the care they provide - many thanks! read more

Dr. Rani is amazing! Prior to seeing her, I had a cavity filled twice filled on a different tooth at my family dentist in MD. On x-rays taken at a cleaning it was discovered that I had a developing cavity in another tooth which needed to be filled. I was terrified to have the new cavity filled because the previous two were excruciating. The first time he didn't even use anesthesia, the second time he drilled the tooth before I was numb. Both times I felt EVERYTHING. (Again this was a different dentist at a different practice.) But, my experience with Dr. Rani was COMPLETELY different! She used topical anesthetic before injecting, and a vibrating thing on my lip during the injection, so I didn't even feel the needle itself! She used tons of anesthetic so I didn't feel ANYTHING when she started drilling. The Technician was also awesome, making me less nervous/anxious about the procedure and was great at suctioning so I didn't swallow anything inadvertently. I will DEFINITELY be returning to Dr. Rani if I need another cavity filling. read more

I've changed to a new dentist after this place. Dr. Patel himself has always been kind, but some hygienists and especially the receptionists are rude. I've had several negative experiences but the final straw was a rude receptionist who called me 5 times for one appointment to ask me to come in earlier than my time without giving a reason. I don't leave feeling like my teeth are cleaned and don't feel satisfied with their work. read more

Although in the past going back 12 years I would have given them 5 stars but they have gone down hill. My 2 boys had cleaning appointments on Dec 13 2023that were scheduled in March for 11AM. Prior to there appointments I received 2 reminder emails, 2 confirmation emails with links to confirm, 2voicemails and 2 text messages all saying 11AM appointment times. On the mourning of the appointments I received 2 texts and 2 voicemails saying one boy was scheduled for 10:15 and the other for 11. I did not check my phone after leaving work so I was surprised when the receptionist told me the one appointment was cancelled. After getting back home later in the day I emailed the dentist saying about how everything I received before that day said 11AM for both boys. I had a similar experience with their appointments in March. I was emailed back and was told I had a bad attitude and he was cancelling any further appointments and emailing me a records release form that I still haven't received. read more

I came in here the other day In massive amount of pain. I shouldn't. First when I called I asked to be seen a young lady by the name of Chrissy told me she "didn't THINK they could get me in" Nor did she even Try. She was dismissive with me! So as I'm looking for another dentist I call back to get her name to leave a review but another much friendlier woman picked up. She told me to hang on while she spoke to the DR She asked me to come right in. At the window I confronted Chrissy sternly "are you the one who was lazy and didn't even look to find me an appointment?" She got scared, and said "I'm so sorry I'm new here" The girl didn't even give me an option or look in the computer I was greeted by a tech lady who did X-rays on my throbbing cheek The dentist , a female Indian woman; explained I'd need to be referred to a specialist to have it extracted. She gave me an RX for antibiotics and Advil and Tylenol I asked for Vicodin She said "No they don't work" Yes they do. When i left and checked all they did was reschedule me. Didn't give me any information on where to go for my extraction. They were closed Friday sat and sun. I expected another office to call and get me in. No one called My head is pounding!!! My face killing me. I'm in so much pain i cannot sleep or eat. Nothing is helping. I've never been to a dentist that refused me pain medication. She acknowledged I'm in pain I asked her to numb me- she declined and said "it will only last N hour" Maybe she didn't think I was in as much pain as I'm in It's Friday night. 36 hrs after my visit. I'm desperate for a remedy. I am in so much pain I want to go to an emergency rooM for help. This place lost any kind of trust I had in them. I need this tooth pulled and i don't know what to do I was given no instruction from front desk. read more

Worst dentist ever! I had got some work done here and all the teeth that were worked on hurt so I went elsewhere and got x-rays that proved the dentist was actually breaking the bones in the teeth that would actually result in the tooth falling out eventually. Shortly after I found that out I went in for a root canal I had scheduled and he somehow went down so far he hit a nerve in my jaw to the point where I passed out in the chair. Mind you I never mentioned anything much. He apologized when it occurred and prescribed me strong narcotics. Then on October 23rd I went in for two temp crowns and a filling as usual they forgot about the filling and were irritated that I mentioned it. They did all of it but something didn't seem right because while I was numb I had pain. After novocaine wore off my tooth hurt bad! I called in the next day they were open and they said on my appointment on the 21st they would look. On November 21st I had scheduled two permanent crowns and a different filling and they were supposed to now look at the tooth that was super painful. They forgot about the filling and also didn't want to do my permanent crowns seemed very irritated that I mentioned them they found the permanent crowns after saying they didn't have them they went to insert them &doctor was super unsure of which crown went where which left me uncertain and the 1 crown did not look like my other teeth . The crown was super huge against my cheek and tongue side. I told the doctor and instead of shaving down the area by my tongue side he ended up shaving the bite side . He was also flipping out on me telling me I do not appreciate his work and do not trust him as a doctor and was not finishing his sentences but saying things like and maybe you shouldn't come and then would stop and obviously he meant to say back. I told him he was doing the wrong area but he didn't care he was so irate. I then reminded them of the tooth that hurt they x-rayed it and from another room the dentist said I needed a root canal and that he was never doing a root canal for me again that I needed to go to a Endodontist. I then asked if they could talk to the doctor to see if he would please make it so I was not biting my tongue, they told me to go check out and wait in the waiting room. I noticed my paperwork for the first time had a different address even though I lived at the same location for 15+ years Shortly after told me to come back & the dentist finally shaved down a little bit by the tongue side But again flipped out told me he hates people with my insurance that we're never grateful for what he does I told him I always thank him he said I do but the way I complained about the tooth that needed a root canal shows him otherwise and because I complained about my crown not being nowhere near the same shape as my prior. Which is obvious reasons to be upset I was too scared to even mention the address issue and just wanted to get out of there I was literally having a full-blown anxiety attack. Some terrible things were said by the staff in there I left in tears. I mustered up enough strength to call the next morning and let them know that the address was wrong and asked if they had my records correct even they were nice at first and fixed the address and told me they would have someone get back to me. To my surprise it was the doctor angrier than ever sounded like a full-blown sociopath just screaming at me for 30 minutes straight I had witnesses listening I even told him that and he had no cares whatsoever. I asked several times to have a copy of my invoice with the correct address but they would not do it. And I called my insurance to get a new dentist and file a complaint and see if they can help me get my records and when we called on three way to the dentist they (secretary)actually flipped out on the insurance company in regards to payment for my work the insurance was completely shocked and said they couldn't deal with it anymore and had to hang up that it was just the worst thing they have ever had to deal with at the job. BEWARE DO NOT RECOMMEND! read more

I made an appointment with Hershey Dental strictly for the purpose of having four mercury fillings replaced as my regular dentist refused to replace them. I had an initial visit in March at which time a full exam was done. A pre-authorization was done for the work. When it came back, I noticed that 7 teeth were preauthorized for work. I promptly called the billing department and made it as clear as possible that I only wanted 4 teeth worked on, the 4 with the mercury fillings. I further explained that I had a regular dentist for all other work. I also want to note that I had seen my regular dentist earlier in the very same month as my initial appointment with Hershey dental. It was never noted in my chart that I did not want the work on the 3 other teeth. Moreover, my regular dentist did not find any pressing need to do work on those three teeth. I went to my second appointment the end of May of this year. I again made it very clear to Doctor Layton that I only wanted the 4 mercury fillings replaced. She acknowledged this and only replaced two of the mercury fillings at that visit. After the visit, the very same day, I had bad pain in a tooth beside one of the teeth that she had worked on. Also, the bottom tooth that she had worked on remained numb for over two days as did my tongue on the one side. The sore tooth, beside the one she had worked on hurt badly for at least three days. It did get better. However, nearly a month later, I still have low grade pain in that tooth. At my third appointment on 06/14, I again made it clear that I only wanted mercury fillings replaced since Dr Layton, at that visit, made reference to another tooth that was scheduled to be worked on during the 06/14 visit. However, when I got the bill, the bill stated that 3 teeth were worked on. I questioned the bill and the work that was done by phone call after this appointment. The billing specialist at first said that only two teeth were worked on, but then said later in the conversation that more research was needed. I received a call back on 06/22 from the billing specialist. She told me that there actually were 3 teeth that had been worked on. I told her I was very upset about this as I had told them I did not want any other work done other than the mercury filings replaced. She advised me that she would have the office manager call me but did not know how long it would take. The next day, 6/23, I called Hershey dental about the pain on my lower left side left over from the prior visit nearly a month ago. That had me come in for a check up only to tell me something about roots being exposed. I am completely confused as I had no issue with this tooth before Dr Layton replaced the filling in the tooth beside it. However, I will address this with my regular dentist. I also told Dr Layton that I wanted to talk with her about the work done on the prior visit. I basically told her that I did not authorize work on the third tooth. Dr Layton immediately said she could take it out (meaning the filling). She also said she goes by what is in the chart and said there was nothing in the chart about not having this third tooth done. However, a little later before she left the room, she did acknowledge that I did not want a third tooth worked on at the May visit. However, this was never put into my chart. She did have the office manager come to talk with me. The office manager wanted to chalk it up to poor communication. I told her that I couldn't have made it any more clear that I only wanted the mercury fillings replaced. To sum it all up, Dr Layton did work that I clearly had asked her not to do and I am stuck paying for it. I think this is extremely unfair. However, it is their word against mine. And it is very convenient that Dr Layton never documented my chart initially showing that I had verbally declined work on 3 teeth that even my main stream dentist did not consider to need work immediately. I will never go back to this practice. I would like to put it all behind me but I can't as I have had pain in an area of my mouth that was worked on. UPDATE After posting this review, I received a call back from the office manager. She advised me that she had done additional research and had found evidence of an e mail from the billing specialist stating that I did not want any work done other than replacing for mercury fillings. Somehow, this was not communicated with the doctor. She then advised me that they were going to reimburse me for the part of the filling not covered by insurance. She was very nice. As a result, I feel much better about Hershey Dental. I am raising my rating from 1 to 4. read more

I have had several crowns made and sat in recent years, but my experience at Hershey Dental Care was, by far, my best experience with crown work ever. Dr. Nahdini Bogavelli was kind, gentle, and patient. She took the time to listen to my concerns, explain what would happen at my appointment, and did a quick, but thorough procedure. Absolutely love that they make their crowns there in less than an hour and that I could have the entire process done in one appointment! read more

I just moved to Hershey, PA from OH. I was nervous about going to a new dentist. I had always gone to OSU for top dental care. After being seen here at Hershey Dental Care I can say that I am VERY SATISFIED!! The hygienist did an excellent job cleaning my teeth and the dentist put me at ease right away. I highly recommend anyone coming to this practice for their dental care! It is evident that they care about their patients and want us to be satisfied. read more

I wish I could give 0 stars. This place is a joke or I should say Dr. Patel is a joke. I was told my appointment was canceled 10 minutes before hand because they were unable to confirm? I asked the number they called the number was correct but I had absolutely no missed calls from them or the voice-mail he claimed was left. Im 18 weeks pregnant with a tooth infection, let it be known if the infection is to get in my blood it could cause serious or even fatal complications with my child. He then told me I was "dismissed" from his practice due to supposedly never picking my phone up? Good reason? Counting no confirmation call was made! My boyfriend then called to figure out what was going on and they proceeded to tell him that my phone just kept ringing and they couldn't leave a voice mail. So this so called doctor is completely unethical! Can't even keep his story straight? He just wanted someone else who wasn't on gateway to have my appointment because he profits more from it. And to just add it was Dr. Patel himself who called me to tell me my appointment was canceled and acted so nasty and rude to me! read more

This practice deserves nothing less than a five-star review. I've been a patient here for several years and have always had excellent care from the staff. Further, they are the only dental practice in the area that accepts Medicaid plans for the poor. Providing this service is vital for the poor and the working poor. They should be congratulated for this effort. read more

I came in expecting to get a tooth extracted. I was extremely nervous & Dr. Patel came in & explained to me what was going to happen & comforted me letting me know I wouldn't feel a thing.

Dr. Patel is a fantastic dentist who I have been visiting for the past 12 years. He goes above and beyond to take care of his patients, I highly recommend using his practice! read more

I love interacting with all of the staff. They bring my daughter and I great comfort. The wait is never long either which is always a plus.

I have been to different dentists in Hershey area, but finally I found practice that is up to date with technology and doctor that knows dental care, not just having diploma from dental school. Dr. Patel, is an excellent dentist! Just had my root canal, and crown done - completely satisfied with results. Don't go to doctors that only know how to extract teeth, go to Dr. Patel and have your teeth fixed instead. read more

I have gone here a collective 7x now for myself, my husband and for my children ages 7,5,3. Everyone is always nice. I was never treated rudely by anyone at the desk, hygienists or Dr. Patel. I was there today for myself and my 5 yr old. All was great. I have to admit I'm surprised by some of the other negative reviews. While I was setting my next appointments the woman at the desk respectfully excused herself to welcome in the new arriving patients so they didn't have to stand there and wait. Customer service is very important to me, especially in health care and I have been very happy here for almost a year now. read more

The hygienist and dentist are phenomenal. My husband and I are new clients, he has a dentist phobia and I love having my teeth cleaned. Both of us were thrilled with the services we've received.

I have been a patient here for about 5 years. I first went to them when I needed a tooth extracted and I didn't have dental insurance. The dentist was able to remove my tooth without referring me to an oral surgeon, thus saving me a lot of money. It was only a mildly uncomfortable process. I've been going there ever since for check-ups. Hygienists are thorough and pleasant. They are the 1st dental office I've been to where a check for mouth cancer signs is a regular part of the exam. Last week I went for a checkup and reported a lost filling in my back-most tooth on the right. Scheduled for attention about a week later. I was there for about an hour this morning. This is the first filling I've had in about 20 years, so I was a little nervous. Novocaine shot was much less painful than I remember - hardly felt it. The procedure itself was pain-free. The dentist was a woman - first woman dentist I've had. Practice has 2 dentists and 3 or 4 hygienists. She was very careful and my mouth feels completely like before the filling came out. They give a 10% discount to senior citizens, too. Turned out my procedure was less extensive (3 surfaces instead of 4) than what they quoted me as well, so I paid $200 less than I expected. I would recommend this practice to anyone looking for a good local dentist. read more

I just have to say I love Dr. Patel but his new dentist is very rude and his assistant is very careles. Had work done and he said go home get rest and you'll reel better tomorrow but tomorrowcarrived and i had to go back. Needed antibiotics and pain killers. That new dentist is a total jerk and you couldnt pay me to see him again. The girls desk all are very disrespectful except for the girl with the tats. Love her. She's sweet as pie. I wish all the same people were there that were there when I first started going there. I have never experienced anything like this before. Oh by the way the new girl at the desk needs to go. Don't tell me I have to pay put of pocket to get my issue checked. Are you trying to pocket money and really think anyone will fall for that. Please educate yourself before you get cocky on the phone with someone that has worked in this business longer than you have been alive. By the way no one should be disrespected. You have no idea who you are talking to. Hopefully Dr. Patel will make better decisions on his staff before he loses all his patients. I just love him but his staff makes me not want to return. read more

WORST dentist EVER. I wouldn't let patel work on my dead dog. The desk help is very rude. They forgot to send paperwork in. patel is a butcher with a dental degree which even that I question. He forgot to fill a cavity. Hell do whatever he wants despite what you ask. The appointment was VERY painful. Only go here if you want to experience pain and rude and ignorant people. If you want a real dentist go down the road to Dr. Mayes. read more
