Well I have been going to this office since moving to Columbia about 3 years ago and have never had an issue with the services or charges. The staff is super sweet and kind and I enjoy them all.

Sadly, I do not recommend him. He was drilling me on terms at my comprehensive check and asking me…read morequestions to see what knowledge I had on dental health. It was extremely embarrassing, considering a lot of people have a huge fear of going to the dentist as adults ...and I am one of them! He also asked me during an exam (in an open room ) full of people if I was Bulimic (which I am not, but had other personal health issues that lead to this that I did not want to disclose in public ) because the enamel on my teeth had worn off so much. I honestly was humiliated and left in tears after that and have never gone back. I found a new dentist that has a wonderful bedside manner and she will be taking care of all my dental needs from here on out.

It was hard for my wife and I to find a competent dentist in the Columbia area. The practices that…read morewe visited ranged from either complete incompetence, to too much, 'down-home, country garbage,' So, I kind of just chose a dentist that was within 4 miles of our home. We're satisfied with this one. There was one girl at the front desk, who wouldn't return phone calls about insurance quotes; or gave wrong answers on amounts owed. She no longer works there. I feel confident enough in this dentist, that I've begun taking my 90 year-old mother there! That should say something.

I had a few things that were hard for me last time, and I was able to email them ahead of time, and I noticed the changes that were made right away. I completely understand that I am not a normal patient, as I have autism, but they are so good at working with me on it each time.

DO NOT GO HERE!!! First off Dr Patel is HAPPY to tell you, that you need various things done to…read moreyour mouth when you clearly do not need them! The office doesn't refund you, they keep your money until you complain and tell them you will take the appropriate legal action! I was there 2-3 months ago for tooth pain, he barely did a thing and was in a hurry to move on to the next patient, so he's like give it 7-14 days for the pain to go away uh REALLY? That was unacceptable. Then proceeds to look at my gums and after 3 minutes, he's like you have beginning gum disease and I think to myself, the hell I do lol and tell me I need a deep cleaning which by the way is EXPENSIVE!! And you have to put a $100 deposit, some gal said if you cancel at last min/day before they keep that deposit, so I knew I didn't need that cleaning and canceled like 2 weeks in advance and they never refunded our money until Jan 2025, when I contacted them to complain. We finally got out $100 deposit back this month Jan 2025, my tooth pain hardly went away, I contacted this office several times and NO RESPONSE!! Mean time my husband who was in the waiting room, also heard Dr Patel saying to least a few other patients, you need a deep cleaning. AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!! There are plenty of better dentists out there!

I don't like having to start over as a new patient anywhere and one never knows if things would go well at a new place or not. I think establishing relationships and making an effort to get to know their staff and give them a chance to get to know me may work better. My 2nd visit was way better than my first and let's hope that trend continues. Thank you, Brianna.
