Valley Alder Family Dentistry

They did a great job here. I thought I needed a root canal on a large cavity but the doctor was very honest and told me he thought he could fill it and save the tooth. Any dishonest dentist would have just done the root canal. He did a great job and the filling is still perfect years later while one of the ones I got at another dentist has come out.

This place is great. My husband and I needed a dentist, we came to Valley Alder Dentist and we are in love. The staff is friendly and provided information before any procedure. The dentist is gently and friendly. They are always willing to work with you on setting appointments that suits the patients schedule. Every time we go in, the most we’ve waited to be seen is 5min. We extremely recommend this place.

DO NOT GO HERE!!! You have been warned. I went to Dr. Patel for toothpain, he told me I needed a rootcanal. I had told him that I was planning on having braces soon. He quoted me for the root canal and it was reasonable (i’ll give him that). After he did the work I was satisfied and returned to him to have other work done. He was a bit rough, but I am tough so I was okay with it. Flash forward 2 months to pouring down rain and I had an appointment for my two year old daughter. When I arrived the facility was closed, no sign on the door just closed. I was a little upset they neglected to call the patients they had scheduled but I was STILL okay with Dr. Patel. Then my sister kept telling me to visit Dr. Kent Fyfe at Ivy Dentistry. When I went to Dr. Fyfe what a difference! He told me the root canals Dr. Patel did were not needed due to the fact that those teeth would need to get pulled when I get my braces (i have over crowding in my mouth). Dr. Fyfe also told me I only needed two more fillings to get my braces on where Dr. Patel had told me I needed 6!!! I have arrived at the conclusion that Dr. Patel is not a very ethical man. I believe he was charging me for work I didn’t even need and to top it off I was paying for my dental work all out of pocket. Literally over $ 1000 gone to this crook for work I didn’t even need. I should have gotten a second opinion but I was smitten with Dr. Patel’s new equipment. Don’t go here or if you do I HIGHLY recommend a second opinion. You get what you pay for! DON’T GO HERE AWEFUL.

I have sent my entire family to Dr. Patel. It all started with my little sister. She is autistic and has been a dental avoider for years. We could not find a dentist that would make her happy. I have personally been told by others how gentle Dr. Patel is and after discussing with my mom and little sister, we decided to give it a shot. Dr. Patel not only was able to put my sister at ease, he was able to start treatment! We were astonished when my little sister said she LOVED Dr. Patel!!! I am now a patient and feel very confident about the care we all receive. I highly recommend Dr. Patel.
