Dr. Ushma Patel - Center for Advanced Dentistry
Reviews
I've been going to Dr Patel for years, minus about a 3 year hiatus (and I didn't cheat on her!). When I saw her again its as if I saw her yesterday. She remembered all the details in treatment plans and I thought that was pretty cool. It was also nice that some of the other members of her team remembered me as well. She truly is the best dentist I've ever had and I'm not looking for a free toothbrush :)
I recieve the highest quality of care from Dr Patel and her team. From the front desk to the hygenist and Dr. Patel herself I know they have my best interests at heart and are there to provide whatever I need to be comfortable and enjoy excellent oral health. Sometimes it feels like I am coming into a spa rather than a dentist. Amazing environment.
I have known Dr. Patel for a relatively short time, but in that amount of time her and her office staff have impressed me in every respect. First, lets consider the surroundings. When you walk in, you immediately feel like you are at home - they have a wonderful coffee, tea, and snack bar. I have never had to wait more then 5 minutes before I was brought back to the exam room. The rooms are top of the line - they have TV's both in front of you as well as above you, and their equipment is cutting edge. Now I must say a few things about their people - every single employee of Dr. Patel's is special and incredible in there own way. You do not meet a single zombie nurse who is just doing her job to pay the bills, you are being taken care of by loving, professional, sympathetic people who really listen. Each person there has there own special quirks and things they enjoy and you can engage them on any topic of discussion and you will find that they are SCARY smart! Now I have to talk about Dr. Patel. Dr. Patel thinks of so many different ways to make your stay comfortable and pleasant. If you are like me, and need nitrous oxide to help you stay comfortable, its free of charge and there is no hassle to get it. She is intelligent and does the little things that make her a truly extraordinary dentist. For instance before she gives you any shot, she will numb your gum up with anesthetic gel and then right before she puts the shot in she shakes your cheek so you don't feel it. Little things like that, when multiplied go along way. She can break down exactly what's going on with your teeth so even idiots like me can understand what is required of them. If you are more intelligent, she can really get into the finer points of what's going on with your teeth. She tries to be pro-active instead of Re-active which is a rare trait with Doctors these days. She is always in a good mood, and her pretty smile will put you at ease during your entire visit. I cannot recommend her practice highly enough - look at the review summary! The numbers don't lie! She is a great dentist and a good friend.
Dr. Patel was very nice and explained in detail the treatment I need. I did not feel any pressure to make a decision immediately. I value that. I definitely recommend her business.
During the snow storm, one of my teeth became very sensitive to cold and I could not even brush my teeth and rinse with cold water. I called Dr. Patel's office in a hope to see her when I get back from my business trip. Dr. Patel herself answered my call herself! She asked me a series of questions to determine the cause of the problem. She then scheduled an appointment even though her office was struggling to reschedule the appointments due to the snow storm. When I showed up Dr. Patel went over the symptoms again to be sure and took some photos to have a closer look at the problem area. She was absolutely fantastic with her diagnosis and treatment. She goes extra miles to make her patients feel absolutely comfortable. I highly recommend Dr. Patel and her wonderful staff. ~~~ Update: June 7, 2014 I was in for a regular check up and as usual Michelle did a wonderful job. Due to the little trouble with the same tooth I aforementioned, Dr. Patel suggested that the little crack should be fixed. Thankfully, she was able to squeeze me in that afternoon. The procedure was rather painless and quick. While it's hard to believe the "painless" part, it truly was painless. Now all is well. Hooray! Also, it's rather fantastic that Dr. Patel's office opens on Fridays, which makes scheduling an appointment so much easier for me! I very much appreciate Dr. Patel and her staff listening to the customers!
