Dr. Kadam is the ultimate expert you want to see for all your dental needs. She took the time to understand my concerns and address my needs in one quick visit. Great bedside manner and unlike other dental offices I've visited, she didn't push any treatment I didn't need. The staff took time to explain billing and discuss my options before any treatment plan was finalized. The facility is modern, clean and provides for a welcoming environment. Highly recommended!

Dr. Pranita Kadam is the very first dentist I ever went to - that was over 13 years ago and I have never had a reason to change! She is a pro at what she does, has the most pleasant and consistent chairside manner, and sincerely prioritizes patient well-being over all other considerations. She is forward-thinking and her dental practice is cutting-edge!

This was my initial visit to Dr Patel’s office. The front desk got me in very quickly which was good since I had cracked a filling. This was, by far, the most thorough exam that I have ever had. The hygienist was very friendly, accommodating and proficient. Dr. Patel was very kind and thorough and answered all of my questions. I felt extremely comfortable in this office and got top notch care. A great experience.

I have a difficult mouth and a difficult schedule. Dr. Patel is professional, kind and accomodating. She has a high level of skill that has me in a much improved state of dental health than when I started. Both my pain and appearance are greatly improved.

I loved my initial visit and my follow up was even better :) Being in the office is like being at the spa! I am nervous about the dentist and Dr Patel and her staff have helped me with this. I have refered my co-workers and friends already.

I received a deep cleaning from Miss Melinda and was treated to the best service around. She was very educational and helped me understand everything she was doing all the way down to describing each tool she was using. 1 day later and my mouth is feeling solid. Christopher Sanchez

The dental exam was the most thorough I have ever experienced. After suffering from pain on the left side of my face for over one year, Dr Patel was able to determine the cause and worked quickly to create a splint which immediately helped to decrease the pain. Her staff is courteous and professional. I have already recommended her to my friends.

Love Dr. Patel and her staff! I was being treated a few years ago by another dentist and they kept telling me I had nothing wrong. Dr. Patel found a potentially dangerous abscess and took care of it. She also called me several times over the weekend to check on me! That tells me she cares about her patients.

If you are looking for high quality, up-to-date dental care then come see Dr. Neela Patel. Dr. Patel takes the time to explain your dental needs in a way that is easy to understand and in turn helps you to make the most educated decisions about your dental care. Her office is warm and welcoming, she is smart and her staff is patient-centered. I highly recommend her practice.
