“I highly recommend Dr. Rakhee Patel. She was extremely attentive, friendly, and explained everything about the treatment very clearly. She showed complete mastery of what she was doing and made me very comfortable during the consultation. In addition, she was extremely polite to me and also when dealing with the team. I recently went to other dentists who were not so friendly and also did not show so much patience. Therefore, I recommend Dr. Patel as she has shown a lot of knowledge and treated the patient with respect and attention.”

She was so down to earth, described everything she was doing, presented my options for me, really talked to me as a person. Did not push anything I didn't want and didn't make me feel bad for asking questions. Also, did a great job fixing a chip in my tooth! Best dental experience of my life.

Three times I had a joke of a dentist fill my cavity and the. Decide it had to be cleaned out and redone. No wonder a year later I have to find real professionals to do it
