In addition, my spouse needed a periodontal teeth cleaning fall of 2024, but the dental practice had no one at all doing teeth cleaning for months so my spouse had to find another dentist for teeth cleaning and his dental condition got worse and now needs another crown instead of a filling. My spouse is in the early stage of dementia and I had explained that to the office Manager, Deanie many times. In the past, Deanie was always helpful and understood the situation and communicated well with me about appointments and treatment in the past. My spouse has needed an extraction and a crown since mid summer 2024 but didn't have any dental benefits remaining, and no pain, so he chose to wait for 2025 so that insurance coverage of $2,000 would be available. My spouse went to Adams Dental Associates for periodontal cleaning 1-9-2025. Deanie asked me to join my spouse when he was done with the cleaning to discuss a treatment plan for extraction of #16 and crown on #15 and sign release forms. Even though I'm an extremently busy person, I went to Adams Dental Associates Office. While my spouse was getting his teeth cleaned, I received a call from Deanie asking if my spouse had taken 2000 mg of amoxicillin earlier today. This was the 1st I'd heard of this requirement. I said no, he took 500 mg of amoxicillin earlier today for a urinary tract infection. Dealing with this wasted another hour of my time and I have no time to waste. Later Deanie explained the 2000 mg of amoxicillin is requirement by medical profession when the patient had joint surgery recently. So I called my spouse's orthopedic surgeon's office who said the amoxicillin is not needed today since the knee replacement was 5 weeks ago. I informed Deanie and that seemed to be ok. When I went to Adams Dental Associates office to discuss the treatment plan, I was presented with detailed consent forms, 7 pages. The consent forms said: Describe treatment & reason for treatment, yet no reason was identified. The form said "I, patient's name, have discussed the treatment with my dentist and have had the following issues answered to my satisfaction". My spouse had many questions so we circled items and wrote ?s on the items that needed more discussion. When my spouse understood and agreed to the Item, he wrote his initials to indicate approval. But most of the items we had questions. I did not know if my spouse had received the info and forgot, or if the info was never provided. We provided the forms to Deanie and said we had questions. Deanie took us to a treatment room. She told my spouse to sit in the treatment chair and for me to sit in the corner in a chair so we did. Dr. Adams joined us. He said there is a 3rd tooth that needs a crown now. #14. Dr. Adams became irritated that I was not looking at a monitor above my head and told me to get up and look at the monitor. I had never been in that office before and I had no idea there was a monitor above my head. Dr. Adams said he needed another xray and left the room. Deanie returned and indicated all was done. I said we still have questions about items on the consent forms. Deanie said ok. Dr. Adams returned to the treatment room. He asked what are the questions. The 1st item on the form was finances and I know the office handles that, so I did not bring it up with Dr. Adams. The 2nd item was about post operative instructions and need for follow up care. Dr. Adams said the forms should be completed on the day of procedure. I explained that Deanie asked me to come to the office to discuss the treatment plan today. Dr. Adams looked right at me with a very mean stare, and said this is crazy. I said in a very respectful tone, I agree this is crazy because the form is asking randy to agree he's fully informed and he is not. Dr. Adams told the Office Manager, Deanie, she should be able to answer the questions. She said you are the dentist. Then Dr. Adams looked at me with a mean facial expression and said get another dentist. He became more verbally abusive and disrespectful in his communication. All because we wanted to understand the procedures, why they are needed, the risks, alternatives and consequences of not doing the procedures as the forms indicated. I told Dr. Adams that it is very unethical to ask a patient to sign a consent form when the patient nor I do not fully understand the items on the consent form. I felt that Dr. Adams was treating me in a demeaning and disrespectful manner. It appears to me he is refusing to understand my spouse is in early dementia and I'm there to help my spouse and the dental practice so that my spouse can get the care he needs asap and the dental practice has the consent they need. Now we have to find another dentist and start all over.

The staff repeatedly and incorrectly insisted my Aetna PPO card was Medi-Cal, making rude assumptions based on my appearance rather than looking at the card in their hands. To make matters worse, I had a prior agreement on the procedure and pricing ($400 max) from the dentist himself, yet the service and attitude I received upon arrival were dismissive and disrespectful. I do not recommend this office to anyone who values their time or expects to be treated with basic dignity.UPDATE: After my initial review, the dentist reached out claiming he wanted to 'rectify the situation.' I took off work, used my PTO, and drove across town with a severe migraine for an 11:45 appointment, only for him to waste my time a SECOND time. ​Instead of providing the service we discussed, he spent the time making excuses, pushing invasive veneers/orthodontics I've already declined, and talking about other patients. To make matters worse, he then had the audacity to ask me to remove my negative review while still refusing to perform the simple, no-prep dental bonding I requested. ​This office prioritizes upselling and 'reputation management' over actual patient care and medical boundaries. They made biased assumptions about my insurance from the start and followed it up with pure incompetence. I am NOT removing my review--people need to know how this office operates. Save your time and go somewhere that respects you.

Edit 8/30/21: I found out that my review from earlier in the year was not posted. Here goes:…read more I will start with saying that I do not like change very much! Especially when it comes to my medical/dental care. I used to go to a dentist less than a mile from where I live - which was phenomenal and worked well with my schedule. My sister, Shareen, has been raving about Dr. Patel for a few years (she even entered Dr. Patel's number in my contact list a while back). In January, I started having this pain on my left side of the mouth (about a couple of weeks after my last routine dental appointment at my regular dentist)...long story short, I ended up needing a root canal and found out that I had a cracked tooth that was progressively getting worse. Which led me to think - maybe my dentist should have caught it during my last very recent visit). Anyway, fast forward to today. I switched to Dr. Patel in late January and am extremely thrilled. The entire team is helpful, cheerful, knowledgeable and makes for a pleasant experience. The office is conveniently located (not under a mile from my home, but it is an absolutely worthwhile trade-off). I ended up needing a crown and the team worked around my schedule and kept in contact with me for any openings that may come up before my scheduled appointment. The text communication is super helpful, as a I spend most of my work life on conference calls. During my prep to get the tooth ready for the crown, I did not like all the "stuff" happening in my mouth, so Dr. Patel would pause after every few seconds and make sure I was okay. I think the procedure took about 30 minutes, but it felt like it went by much faster, even though Dr. Patel would stop for me to make sure I was okay. That is how efficient he is! Oh and they have a TV mounted to the ceiling, so you can actually have something to do instead of just laying there. AND - they give you awesome headphones so you can catch up on your old episodes of Friends or Narcos or whatever! And while writing this review, I found out that my other sister, Shane is also a patient of Dr. Patel. We are making this a family dentist! Pam is a terrific, Bonnie is awesome, Kelsey is superb, Kasandra is a delight, and Dr. Patel is a Rockstar! I highly recommend them.

The best dentist in the Arden/Sacramento Area hands down!…read more I found Dr. Patel through Yelp and was obviously initially skeptical of the reviews. The office is beautiful. Kind of a relaxed, chic welcoming feel to it. After spending the last couple of years with Dr. Patel and his amazing team working through a comprehensive treatment plan (crowns and veneers) I can honestly say that this is best professional service I've ever had. Dr. Patel and his team, especially (Jessi who is in the front) generously spent the extra time working through a complicated insurance plan situation with the up most patience, always keeping me in the loop through the process. Appointments were always made to best fit my schedule and there was never a feeling of being rushed during the many consultations as the treatment plan constantly evolved. Gabi , Erica and Nathalie are always extra patient with me as I have severe anxiety about having poking and prodding done to my mouth. (YES, like a little kid LOL ) There is never a day that you look forward to going to the dentist but Dr. Patel excels at making the experience somehow almost tolerable and humane. Old school bedside manner meets the new century. Call them if you have questions about your insurance or even if you want a 2nd opinion. You know its always good to have another insight on what other doctors/offices say what you need. Really, stop looking, go to Dr. Patel if you are looking for an A+++++ General Dentist!!
