I've been a patient of Dr. Lam for a little over a year now while getting my fillings replaced, and…read moreI truly have never felt more taken care of. The entire team--from Stella and Veronica at the front desk, to the hygienists, dental assistants, and of course Dr. Lam--has been absolutely amazing. Everyone is so welcoming, kind, and genuinely makes each visit feel comfortable and stress-free. One thing I really appreciate is how transparent they are throughout the entire process. They always take the time to explain what's going on, check in to make sure I'm comfortable, and make sure I feel heard every step of the way. They're also incredibly responsive, whether I have a question about scheduling, need dental advice, or just need to reach out. I love that I can easily text, email, or call the office and know I'll get the support I need. Never in my adult life did I think I'd look forward to my biannual dental visits, but here I am genuinely excited to come back and see the team. They've completely changed my perspective on dental care, and I'm so grateful to have found such a wonderful office!

Care quality: passable for the little things like teeth cleanings and simple fillings; poor on the…read morebig things like gum or tooth infections or specialist referrals. Office experience: smug, condescending, preachy pressure-scare tactics for peddling needless procedures. Pricing: exorbitant, billing statement padding with excessive X-ray charges to milk your insurance dry. Type of care details: I've seen better and I've seen worse teeth, cracked their assistant dentist on my long overdue visit for a simple checkup and cleaning, roughly over five years, partly due to that so-called pandemic. Hardly better teeth, though, since before ever visiting this office, I had just two molar cavity fillings and one long-repeated root canal. Yeah, well, I've seen better or worse dentists, too, this one ranking amongst the all-time worst. His entire approach to the patient was arrogant, argumentative, condescending, even confrontational, spewing a stream of what he most mistakenly thinks are pithy and spiffy comebacks to each and everything the patient expresses. Then he did a rushed and shoddy cleaning, complimenting the patient for being such a trooper for enduring it. At length, incredibly, he abruptly stood several feet back away from the patient to pontificate, rather ridiculously, gesturing to idled cars in the parking lot outside, about how the teeth are like an engine requiring proper motor oil! This absurdly childish lecture being delivered to an elder patient several decades older than himself! Finally, the patient cracked back, that he could never recall pouring motor oil into his mouth to lubricate his teeth! Of the severe gum infection the patient was presently suffering, he called the molar directly affected a LOST CAUSE, requiring extraction, just as the molar next to it was extracted years earlier. The SOLE reason that FIRST tooth got extracted was because a quack across town did a shoddy rushed root canal, actually chipping off a sliver of his metal chisel, leaving it inside to rupture the root beyond repair after that tooth had been preserved by root canals for over 30 years since the late 1980s! This patient had left this office pre-pandemic after its chief dentist had resorted to pressure scare-tactics for extraction, claiming the gum infection would spread like a CANCER throughout the mouth; it never did, naturally. Not to mention the fact that they persisted with prescribing ineffective general antibiotics to kill the infection, despite superior sources like the Mayo Clinic which recommended doxycycline for it. So this patient consulted an exceptionally competent dentist across town who stated that infected tooth could have been saved by root canal if diagnosed correctly earlier on; he even performed a freeze-test to confirm that the tooth was indeed dead, lacking any sensation. This is logic and reasoning demonstrated in good-faith practice. This office only grudgingly shared with the second consultant my X-rays because the patient had declined to consent to their so-called deep cleaning, yet another needless but expensive procedure. Is the deep cleaning really necessary, this patient asked the assistant dentist. IF YOU CARE TO KEEP YOUR TEETH, he cracked once more. Whelp, people, to reiterate: this patient, in his seventh decade of life, has now lost just two teeth, BOTH of those directly and SOLELY related to the outright INCOMPETENCE of another quack. Bottom line: this office, through its arrogant and condescending practitioner, LOST the lucrative trade of treating and killing the long-term gum infection ultimately and properly addressed by an exceptionally competent professional! Irony is: this office still sent this patient a promotional email inviting him to visit the office for end-of-the-year insurance-covered treatment. To which this patient responded with a prompt request to visit the chief dentist. That was way back in late October with no reply to date.

I vowed not to go back to them, but when I had a dental emergency arise, I called them in pain and desperation. They were now rude to me, and told me they didn't want my business because they thought I was coming back just for the pain, not to be a regular patient. That might or might not have been true; my decision about whether to return long term was going to be based on how they treated me this time. I sure learned the answer to that question. I'm not happy about having to find a new dentist on short notice while in pain, but I guess I was going to have to find a new one anyway.

She's really there for you. Quite literally. I've gone to her for years for my regular pick and clean and the occasional filling. This past Saturday as I was working into the evening, I broke a molar on an uncooperative cashew. I called her line at 4 pm on a Saturday, and she left her family and drove out Saturday evening and made sure I'd be okay until she could do a crown a few days later. To add to this, I am also in the process of closing on a house, and I cannot touch anything in my bank account or put anything big on my credit card until the deal is done. She and her staff didn't even charge me (yet)--they're waiting until my deal goes through. All in all, Dr. Patel and her staff are not simply a dental office. They're more like a family--a family of unconditional tooth love. And they've earned my love and admiration as well.

The front desk is so kind and pleasant, the hygienist is incredibly gentle, professional, and thorough, and Dr. Ramin is simply outstanding. My son was on the verge of having an anxiety attack in the dental chair, and Dr. Ramin handled the situation with so much patience, compassion, and calm that he completely changed the experience for him. What could have been a very stressful appointment became one that left us feeling comfortable and cared for. If you're looking for a dentist, look no further. Dr. Ramin and his entire team are exceptional, and I can't recommend them highly enough. Thank you all for making what is usually the least enjoyable appointment into such a positive experience!

I've since retired and am living on a fixed income. Currently the going rate for top or lower implant replacement surgery is 30K. I had just about given up on being able to ever afford replacing my bottom teeth with implants. My search for a dentist led me to Dr. Ricky Singh at Shadelands Dental Care. He's a Medicare approved provider and I was also able to take advantage of a $6500 discount thru the Smile Program. That added up to an $8500 discount. I had my surgery on Nov 30 and am in the healing phase but already feel better about myself. The physical/psychological effects of bad teeth are devastating! My natural teeth weren't made for the long haul and I feared having to wear dentures at some point. So grateful for the advancement in dentistry - implants are a far superior option (for me anyway). Dr. Singh has given me a new lease on life. He and his staff have been wonderful throughout this process. If you're considering implant surgery I highly recommend Dr. Ricky Singh at Shadelands Dental.

I had to return multiple times because they rocked and my bottom teeth hit the top inside denture, loosening my 2 lower front teeth. He blamed my newly loosened teeth to "poor hygiene," after previously telling me that my lower teeth were in good shape. He attempted to fix the problem but only weakened the denture and it broke in half. He had it repaired, and it broke again. After numerous complaints, he agreed to start over and took new impressions. The new implant fit much better. Success, I thought, until they broke again. They were repaired, but only a few months later, one of the abutments came off and soon after, a post fell out. Now I have a hole in my gum and my bottom 2 teeth fell out. This went on for two years and he told me that he could not do any more repairs without charging me. Nearly $50K for implants and it's now been three years, and I have a broken denture that's been repaired by ME and still a hole in my gum, which I fear is infected. His practice is like an assembly line. They herd you in and out. He is a shyster. I also paid for 4 lower Moller implants. He put in 3 posts not 4. I didn't know until I went to another dentist who told me there were only 3 lower posts. I am not the litigious type, or I would have sued him. Go to Dr. Signh at your own risk.

Over the course of treatment, I went through Invisalign, professional whitening, and ultimately two veneers on my front teeth. What stood out to me throughout the entire process was the level of care, attention to detail, and professionalism from Dr. Geleris and his entire team. Cosmetic work is extremely personal, and they took the time to listen to what I wanted, work through the details with me, and make sure the final result looked natural rather than overdone. The entire staff was consistently welcoming, responsive, and professional at every appointment. I never felt rushed, and it was clear that everyone genuinely cared about getting the best possible result. I'm extremely happy with how everything came together. My teeth look dramatically better while still looking like my teeth, which was exactly what I wanted. I've attached before-and-after photos because I think the results speak for themselves. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Geleris and his team to anyone considering Invisalign or cosmetic dental work.
