Once again Dr Patel exceeded my expectations I was 20 minutes late for my appointment but their office said to come in anyway After being in the chair a short while the Doctor came in & said sorry I had to wait for her She did not even take a break from the previous patient At the end of the planned treatment I asked if she could repair one more tooth & she did, powering thru past 5:00 pm I smile fully again I am very satisfied with my teeth, their team work & customer service ( Her office even has an emergency phone number ) It doesn't get any better than that Thank you Dr Patel & staff Charlie Heinz Account Manager read more

Dr Patel is the best! I've been going to her for over 10 years and have referred several friends in the neighborhood. I did Invisalign with her and now go for 2-3x yearly cleanings. Lee at the front desk is so nice and helpful, can't recommend this dental office and team more! read more

I have been a patient with Dr Sonal Patel for over 10 years now and I've never been more pleased with the service that she and her staff provide for me! Many years ago, my teeth were in pretty bad shape after year's of neglect. It finally dawned on me that I needed a great Dentist. A friend referred me to Dr Patel and her expert skill and guidance rescued me quickly, from a dire situation. I just had my last appointment of the year last week, to replace some fillings that had been in my mouth of over 30 years. She expertly replaced the fillings in less than than an hour. I am so grateful that I became a patient with Dr Patel. She and her staff are very professional, have great personality, and are a joy to visit! I actually look forward to our appointments knowing that my teeth with remain in excellent condition! In addition, I recently saw that she was recognized as one of San Francisco's Best Dentists, so please reach out to Sonal and her team if you need a great dentist! read more

I appreciate her assistant Judy too, who is efficient and gives good practical advice. I recommend Dr Patel's office to anyone. read more

I have seen Dr. Patel twice now and both times have been fantastic experiences! As someone who has struggled to find a good dentist in SF, I can confidently say I have finally found one that is both thorough in her approach and honest in her delivery of what's needed. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a great dentist in SF as she truly is the best I have been to since moving here nearly 7 years ago. :) read more

Excellent care! Been seeing Dr. Patel for approximately 20 years and have always been happy with her care and quality of her services.

I've been seeing Dr. Patel for 5 years. Every time a new friend moves to SF I recommend her to them. She is kind, super knowledgeable and does a phenomenal job. She recently did bonding on a chipped tooth and I swear she did magic - it looks THAT good. read more

Sonal is just great, been seeing her for like 25 years! Recommend to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tried to schedule an appointment for X-rays but her new receptionist Selena I think her name is was INCREDIBLY rude and unprofessional. Absolutely terrible attitude and made scheduling a simple appointment very difficult. After 10 minutes of her being rude and aggressive I finally just decided to find a new dentist. This incredible unprofessional receptionist is ruining her business. read more

My first visit. EXCELLENT care and advice. Would highly recommend. Have been to many dentists over the years and never have I felt more "at home and in good hands" then with Sonal and her assistant, Judy. read more

I had a wonderful experience with Dr. Patel and her staff. I tend to grind my teeth and ended up with a broken crown that needed to be replaced. The work involved removing the broken crown. Dr. Patel made sure I was comfortable during the procedure and that I felt no pain. The new crown was ready quickly and when it was time to place the new crown she did so expertise ensuring a perfect fit! I would definitely use her services again. read more

Sonal is the best dentist I've here had. She is very detailed oriented on the health of your teeth and gums plus 100% focused on making you feel relaxed and comfortable. My teeth and gums have never been so healthy. read more

Most people think I'm crazy that I love going to the dentist, but you would too if you went to Dr Patel. It took a few attempts to find the perfect dentist after moving to the US - and I finally found my home and have been coming here for 6 years. Dr Patel and her staff are so lovely, funny, and caring - bookings, cleanings, x-rays, fillings and now Invisalign treatments have been really easy. The Invisalign process has been long, but Dr Patel has taken VERY good care of me, and walked me through every step of the process (it is certainly worth a conversation if you are thinking about it). Dr Patel is one of the nicest people you will ever meet - she really puts you at ease, explains the procedures, and makes you feel comfortable - sometimes I feel that utensils in my mouth get in the way of us having a good old gossip session! Plus there is an office puppy to make you feel better after your treatment! read more

I have been seeing Sonal for 15 years. She is thorough, gentle and experienced. Her staff is also professional. I highly recommend Sonal Patel. read more

Dr. Patel is fantastic! Her manner of care makes you feel very relaxed. She is excellent in answering your questions. Dr. Patel is always interested in increasing her level of knowledge. I feel very fortunate going to Dr. Patel for my dental care and would highly recommend her. read more

Dr. Patel is absolutely amazing! She's extremely thorough and thinks about what sets you up best for long term mouth health. She's incredibly busy -- but also always finds time to 'triage' if there's an emergency or something that needs immediate attention. And a fun person to be around, too! read more

I'm a new patient of Dr. Patel's and I couldn't ask for a better dentist! She's pleasant, friendly and calming. Provides products and tips on how to maintain dental care. The staff is great, too. read more

She is very caring, hard working, and knowledgeable. She and her staff are very gracious to you. Her office area is lovely and you feel very at ease and comfortable there. read more

Dr. Patel is a PRO! I absolutely love her and have been a patient of hers for years. I would recommend Dr. Patel for any and all dental care for adults and children (my two littles also see her). I recently had Invisalign and she greatly improved my smile. She's also attentive, thoughtful and available in a pinch. I had a dental emergency last year and she got me seen immediately for care. Definitely check her out! read more

I have been going to Dr.Patel for my dental needs for years. She is very nice and knowledgeable. I have very low tolerance for pain, she always make sure my visit is as comfortable as possible whether is a simply cleaning or more complicated procedures. The only thing sometime frustrating to me is finding parking on Union street, best is to avoid lunch and dinner crowd. read more

I started looking for a new dentist a few years ago. I read Dr Sonal's Demandforce reviews and was impressed, but a little skeptical. Of course, The reviews were right. She is the best dentist I've ever seen. She's pragmatic, thoughtful, and proactive. I took her advice and started doing fluoride treatments and no more cavities!! What a win. She's equally kind to her patients and her staff, which is super refreshing-- especially in the Marina. I've recommended her to many of my friends. And, if you're reading this and skeptical, don't you deserve great teeth and a great dentist in 2020? #treatyoteeth read more

Got fined $100 for my daughter's missed first appointment with no compromises. Office staff David kept sending reminders through texts and emails. I thought the doctor is friendly and nice but my teeth didn't feel that clean after a week. Their office is near me so I went. I would not recommend this clinic. read more

I saw Dr. Patel as a new patient for a cleaning and later found out she was on maternity leave and had another dentist named Dr. Patel filling in for her. The office deliberately did not mention this was a different dentist. I learned this information months later. This is extremely unprofessional and I would never recommend her. read more

It was a very unpleasant experience. Even though I was a minor and my insurance had paid them she continued to harass me and would not stop calling my cell phone for extra money. She would call under different numbers and not stop. This is a dentist that you should avoid at all costs!! read more

I'm so glad I found Dr. Sonal Patel when I did. I was in the process of switching dentists because my previous dentist (for over two decades) was starting to slip in his work and seemed to want to prescribe (drill and fill) before diagnosing (ordering an x-ray). My soon-to-be-fired dentist held out something that looked like it came out of a Sharper Image catalog and it made all these weird sounds and he said, "Yep, you have a cavity. Let's fill it." That sounded fishy to me, and I asked for an x-ray to confirm that. He said that it wasn't necessary and that he would schedule a time for me to come in for the procedure. I said, "No, thank you" and went out determined to find a new dentist. Luckily my friend Johnny B. who leads the Beatwalks walking tours in San Francisco referred me to "Dr. P." When I stepped in the office, I explained my situation and was greeted by a friendly face who was polite, courteous, and a good listener. I would get the x-ray I wanted and a general dental check-up and cleaning. The x-ray turned out negative, and I avoided the misery of being unnecessarily drilled and billed. Thanks to Dr. Patel, I learned exactly what was going on with my teeth, and she's always there to give the proper guidance and recommendations. If you're considering switching dentists, pick up the phone and call Dr. Sonal Patel. She's there to help you with your dental issues. And be sure to brush and floss. read more

I have been going to Dr. Patel for over 20 years. As a teenager, a team of orthodontists put braces on my front teeth improperly and the roots dissolved, leaving me traumatized after jaw surgery and very skeptical of anyone who wants to do anything with my teeth. Doctors don't always know best and I'm not in the mood for any more guess work or pompous behavior. Sonal is knowledgeable, down to earth and does not push services. She's careful, gentle and tells it to you straight. She may recommend something but does not pressure. Over the years I've recommended many to see Dr. Patel. read more

Having been a patient of Dr. Sonal Patel's for more than 10 years, I can say that she is a caring and expert professional. The best dentist I've ever had. She takes the time to get to know her patients, and will take your individual needs into consideration as part of her service. read more

Dr. Patel is wonderful. She always takes extra time to indulge all of my questions- tells me what she's doing, what she's going to do next, and asks if I am OK while she's doing it. Its quite a pleasant change from some of the dentists I have been to. She always works with me on the treatments I need to do( sometime in the future), and the treatments I have to do, now. I really appreciate her honesty and frankness in my diagnosis. Her staff is very professional and Jenni, the office manager is a sweetheart, she is always organized with my paperwork and greets me by name, with a smile. All in all, a well run office and an excellent dentist Thanks read more

I made an appointment with Sonal Patel in September 2019, providing my new insurance information to the receptionist to verify coverage as I had recently left my employment in June 2019 and was now covered under a new policy. They checked my coverage and told me services being provided were covered. I paid my outstanding balance on the day the services were provided. Six months later in April/May 2020, I received a statement indicating that additional balance was owed as insurance did not cover the services that were provided in September 2019. I communicated with the office receptionist indicating that my insurance was checked prior to the services being provided and additional amounts should not be owed. This appeared to resolve the issue, until in Q1 2021 another receptionist reached out on the balance. I would not have approved the services being provided had I been aware that my insurance would not cover the services and do not feel it is fair that the office did not reach out to me for six months about this. read more

Dr. Patel is a great dentist - one you can trust to look out for your dental health. She cares about her patients and has lots of good advice about how to best keep your mouth clean. She's not the kind of dentist who wants to sell you as many procedures as possible: she wants to help patients avoid having dental work done whenever possible. I've had a few cleanings and a filling done here and Dr. Patel was always gentle and did a good job of explaining what needed to be done. The office staff is great - always friendly and helpful. I wold recommend this dentist to anyone looking for quality dental care. read more

Sonal Patel, and her staff are the greatest. They are all so friendly. For those afraid of injections, Dr. Patel is so good at them, you never feel a thing. They have a television, but it's best just to hear Sonal talk about tennis, her husband, or whatever else she has to say because she is too cute for words. She is also very professional. She explains everything and really seems to be a perfectionist. She paints in her spare time also, so she is very good with her hands, and really makes dentistry into an art. I would highly recommend them to everyone, which I just did. read more

I am a bay area transplant from the east coast and spent forever looking for a good dentist. I've already had a root canal and quite some fillings so you can imagine I'm absolutely mortified of the dentist. I called in only a couple of days before my actual visit to make an appointment thinking my teeth were in the world's worst condition (I had been quite irresponsible and last visited a dentist 2 years back out of pure fear). The staff over there was so sweet and understanding with my schedule and let me come in last minute the day of. As expected, I walked in scared out of my mind expecting to hear the worst. The lady at the front desk and my nurse were so understanding of my fears and tried to make me feel as comfortable as possible. I met with Alisha Patel and she is hands down my favorite dentist I've ever had. She totally talked me out of my nerves and performed a deeeeeep deep cleaning with minor pain. She's absolutely hysterical and made me feel super comfortable. I am so relieved to find an awesome dentist that's also extremely friendly. Though I learned I've apparently been brushing wrong my whole life (lol..), she gave me some amazing tips. I highly highly recommend Dr. Alisha Patel! read more

If you live anywhere near the Marina I highly recommend Dr. Patel - I had a great experience! After having a less fabulous experience with someone in the financial district, I read reviews for Dr Patel and decided to try her as she is closer to home. She takes her time with cleanings, not rushing through to get clients in and out as fast as possible. She is smart, personable, and a pleasure to talk to. The front desk and hygienist are both friendly as can be. While I have only been for routine check ups, I would go back to Dr Patel any day for dental needs! read more

Dr. Patel's office is so welcoming, warm, friendly, efficient and honest. From the staff to the quality of her work, it makes going to the dentist an enjoyable experience! Dr. Patel always explains what she's doing and why so you feel comfortable with everything that's going on inside and out. Having had lots of work done with her over the past 6+ years I've come to appreciate how thorough and detailed she is. She always takes the time to answer my questions, explain x-rays or show me my teeth and what work needs to be done with her fun little camera. Most of the time I'm able to zone out and watch The Today show which is perfect ...a great experience overall read more
