Team
What patients say
Vibe: family-friendly
This practice is overwhelmingly positive (16 five-star reviews) with particular praise for hygienist Sonam's gentle, educational approach and the welcoming family-friendly environment. However, three lower-rated reviews reveal significant concerns about Dr. Patel's consistency—while many find her excellent and friendly, others describe her as rushed, impatient, rude, and causing physical harm during procedures. The discrepancy suggests either inconsistent clinical performance or highly variable patient experiences depending on circumstances.
