Knowing how long it had been since I had been in, and that they would not be willing to give me x rays due to pregnancy, and that they would not do a cleaning without x rays, they none the less still scheduled me for the cleaning and then pulled a bait-and-switch after I arrived. The dental hygienist told me they could do a "light exam" which she proceeded to make sound like would include some degree of cleaning. And then we could do x rays and the remaining cleaning procedures in a follow up visit after baby came. In reality, the light exam consisted of the dentist sticking her finger in my mouth for a few seconds--she didn't touch or look at any of the tools and i'm not convinced she even examined my teeth--and then lectured me for 15 minutes with generic advice with no comments on my actual dental health. I presume she did just enough to charge my insurance as if they had actually provided me a service, without committing fraud. In hind sight it is clear there was no chance they would be doing any cleaning, despite what they presented to me. I would recommend finding someone else as I consider this dishonest and unscrupulous. I will be finding a new dentist.

Overall, disappointed with Dr. Patel.

I've been a patient of his for over 2 years and have had 2 cavities filled with him since that time. My first filling, which is a couple of months old, still has pain in the side when I apply pressure, and this doesn't happen to my only other filling not done by him (i.e., I've only had 1 cavity before seeing him). I've mentioned the filling pain to him during a visit for another tooth issue and my input was very superficially evaluated and never resolved--essentially, overlooked as "new" filling pain. The second filling diagnosed by Dr. Patel was in my upper back wisdom tooth, so I couldn't see or confirm it, but the filling was done the same day. Since my visit was initially for another tooth bothering me, when informed that I had a small cavity in my wisdom tooth, no supporting evidence was provided such as X-rays, historical imaging records, or anything else--not even prodding the supposed cavity. Plus, my annual cleaning only a couple months ago indicated no concerns in the back region of my mouth. Also, interestingly enough, the unknown tooth that continues to bother me did receive a new X-ray and thorough evaluation, which the doctor felt required a specialist's assessment, since he couldn't find which tooth it was, even though it was the second time I've come in for it. Nonetheless, I think it is fine to defer to a specialist. With the second filling, there really was no rush to fill it and in hindsight, I would have sought a second opinion. Ultimately, the dentist should have felt and approached this similarly, since he mentioned that it's a very small cavity and likely not related to my primary tooth pain issue, but he filled it anyway. I've always made the effort to maintain proper oral hygiene and as mentioned, only had 1 cavity before seeing Dr. Patel. Overall, I'm disappointed with my experience, but hope others have better ones. I only write this to share my story--I am not suggesting that you see or not see the practice. Good luck.

Perhaps the xray person, dentist, and hygienist are capable, but I think they talked me into having…read morean expensive procedure I didn't need and then the desk lady tried to charge me for additional things I didn't want. First problem - I'm on Medicare, which they don't accept, and United Healthcare, which offers a Dentegra discount at Aspen Dental. The lady at the desk refused to know anything about a discount (even though it's on their website) and I had to look it up on my phone to show her. Finally, that was approved. The Xray person took 20 Xrays in addition to a full head scan and stuck a camera in my mouth to take photos, which seemed a bit excessive. The dentist (Dr Kim) seemed nice but insisted I needed scaling and root planning. The finance person said that would cost $1542 after the discount. She said it was a one-time procedure and I wouldn't have to do it again. I was skeptical but made another appointment because the hygienist wasn't working that day. Supposedly the entire procedure was going to be done in one day, but the hygienist only did the right side of my mouth, and I had to make another appointment for the left half. The desk lady said the entire procedure would cost $1742, which I complained was not the original estimate. They were going to charge me $200 more for an electric toothbrush and a water pick that I didn't want. I told them to take that off and got the price back to $1542. I paid $730 for that visit. I went back 4 days later to get the left side done. The desk lady said I had to pay $812 up front before the work could be done. I said I've always paid for doctor and dentist visits after the work, but she insisted so I paid it. The hygienist did the left side and said I was supposed to come back in 4 months. When I went to schedule the next appointment, the lady said I would have to return every 3 or 4 months and it would cost $413 for each cleaning. I can't afford that and insisted on a 6 month appointment and the regular maintenance cleaning for $223. A week later, I got a bill in the mail for another $148. When I tried to phone the office, I got a voice mail. It's been several days and no one has called back. I do not intend to pay the bill and I will be canceling the next appointment. Even if the dental care is good, the outrageous charges and customer service is awful. There are 4-5 ladies at the front desk and they mostly stare at their computers and ignore the patients. All those cute motivational signs around the office don't make up for the fact that, at least at the Hamden, CT office, the practice is run by liars and cheaters.

**DENTAL IMPLANTS FELL OUT WITHIN DAYS - Extremely Disappointed**…read more I had a terrible experience with New Haven Dental Group in Hamden. I had two dental implants placed last August, but they fell out within days. I reached out to the office immediately, only to be informed that the doctor was on vacation in Italy and that I would have to wait until his return. When I requested to see another doctor, I was told I would have to wait two weeks for the original doctor to come back. Despite making several requests to be seen sooner, I was repeatedly told that I had to wait. During this two-week period, I suffered without care, and it felt like my well-being didn't matter to them. I endured over two weeks of discomfort, including bleeding and aching gums. Eventually, after escalating my concerns to their parent company, 42 North Dental, I received a refund four months later.
