I had two root canals with Dr. Patel and I just had to have one re-done. I went to him because he was recommended by my dentist. He's very rough - he jambs things into one's mouth - my head was jerked around throughout the procedure. He left sterilizing solution sitting in my mouth, and I chocked on it and swallowed some of it. He kept moving between me and another patient, leaving me alone with the dental damn in, and he no assistant to help me. I am wondering if he has a problem keeping staff. Last, he's over-priced. I joined checkbook, found another endo who is fantastic and $400 less.

it was my first root canal. He did a great job and I didn't feel anything but I also felt numb for more than 8 hours. I did have to take 2 antibiotics, which I would have preferred to avoid. He calls to check up on patients and works to make it affordable. I would return to him.

(Note: there are two entries for this same man. This is a duplicate of the other one.) My dentist sent me to Dr. Patel to see if a tooth that had been giving me trouble since I was 17 could be saved. Dr. P. charged me $100 for a 10 minute evaluation, which did not bother me, but when I went ahead with the procedure he did not apply that initial payment to the total fee, which surprised me a little. What surprised me A LOT was seeing a dental appliance lying on the floor of my examining room on one visit. And even MORE SHOCKING was that (on my third visit, going back and forth between him and my general dentist) he started to numb the wrong tooth! It was only when I stopped him by thrusting a hand up in the "STOP" mode that he acknowledged his error, and then switched over to work on the correct one. (I won't even bother mentioning that he applied inadequate 'glue' to my temporary crowns on two different visits, so that the crowns came off in my mouth the same day at home while I was just sipping a cool smooth soup, and that fortunately my tongue felt the crowns in time to avoid swallowing them.)

Finding a Dentist Who Makes You Smile

The feedback we’ve collected from surveying consumers and dentists will help you find a tip-top tooth doc. We found substantial differences in ratings from dentist to dentist.

How to Take a Big Bite Out of Dental Costs

When choosing a dentist, you should care most about quality of care. But for many patients, cost matters, too. Fortunately, we found that many dentists who rated high on all aspects of care and service also had low fees.

Dental Specialties: Who Does What?

Endodontists and periodontists and prosthodontists, oh my! Here’s who does what.

Should You Buy Dental Insurance?

If you don’t carry dental insurance coverage, you can buy it yourself. But first carefully evaluate available options.

Teeth-Whitening Options

There are several options to lighten your not-so-pearly whites. Some methods are completely DIY, some are DIY with help from a dentist, and some are performed while in a dentist’s chair.

How to Brush and Floss Properly

You’ll reduce the length of time you have to spend in a dentist’s chair—and drastically reduce the procedures your teeth need—by regularly performing proper routine dental care.

Cavities: How They Form and How to Prevent Them

Throughout recorded history, tooth decay (dental caries) has probably caused more pain than any other infectious disease.

A Summary of Dental Treatment Options

Despite substantial progress in the prevention of caries and gum disease, most Americans’ mouths still bear witness to their ravages. The usual procedures for repairing and replacing teeth have not changed in many years but progress continues on most fronts.

Gum Disease Prevention and Treatment

As more and more teeth withstand the threat of caries, a second type of threat must be confronted: periodontal disease, the disease of the gums, bone, and supporting structures around the teeth.
