I pay all this money to not know what's going on or if my child is on track progress wise! I am very concerned with the level of customer service and care that we are getting. One time I waited over 15 mins just for the front desk staff to say, she would just call me instead of meeting with me and I never got a call back. What is my insurance being used for!? If an Xray is conducted I SHOULD KNOW! The establishment itself is clean and the staff are polite but I definitely don't feel like I am in the loop with my child's progress or treatment!

There are so many orthodontists that do not take a long-term, face-driven approach to treating their patients (and so many patients don't even know that's a possibility!) -- Dr. Patel does. It's not just about making teeth straight, it's about giving patients the best possible smile for their particular face. My daughter had a very narrow bite, and one of Dr. Patel's goals was to broaden her bite, and her smile. What a HUGE difference this has made in her appearance. Dr. Patel has also been able to give us a long-term plan for both my daughter and son - he looks at not only the present, but what would be best over time with teeth being lost, gained, and both of them growing. Orthodontic work affects you and your smile for your entire life, so Im very happy to have found Dr. Patel for my kids!

While sitting in the waiting room for an hour she saw patients with 3:30 and 4:00 appts be taken back. If you are running late you should explain that to the patient. That is customer service 101. She was taken back at 4:22 pm. This is not a great impression for a first time patient. In addition her cleaning and X-rays took all of about 10 minutes total. I can't imagine a full cleaning was done. Also you can't make your normal 6 month appt when you are done. The furthest out you can schedule is 4 months.

I still can't speak about the BOTCHED dental job (veneers) I got on May 22--and it's exactly two…read moremonths later--at Laurel Smiles for $7,152!!! I loved my smile BEFORE my veneers! I had bonding for 40 years and had gotten a small chip, so I had a small gap again, which I wish I would've just kept! Dentists don't want to do bonding, anymore, as I guess there's not enough money in that. I keep wishing I could go back because I HATE MY TEETH NOW!!! I am someone who smiles constantly; now, I keep my mouth closed as much as I can. I had a small overbite, which I discussed with Dr. Cooper asking how the veneers would affect that. Three dentists, including Dr. Cooper, had expressed that my two front teeth were "too big." I love my teeth and have had 40 years of compliments about my smile! Dr. Cooper said she would do four veneers and make the two front teeth a little smaller and the other two slightly larger. After almost 6 weeks of a comedy of errors (wrong veneers sent twice, one the color was too dark (but probably not), the fourth and final ones in my mouth--I have two HUGE front buck teeth, a HUGE overbite (I'm so uncomfortable when people can see my teeth from the side), and the veneers are a TOTALLY DIFFERENT COLOR from my natural teeth!!!!!!! Oh, my veneers were EVEN BIGGER than they are now--I had Dr. Cooper shave them down!! I CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW I FEEL!!! I am having the veneers removed and ortho (Invisalign) because I can't even take a chance of another botched job! I paid $1500 for the ortho as that's what I was told at the other dentist office to get started. Turns out I need to pay another $3500 for a total of $5000 for them to do the gum surgery, temporary veneers, and ortho fitting. I just paid $7152 at Laurel Smiles, which brings me to $8,652 I've now spent. I can't afford to pay anymore right now, so I'm stuck with these HORRENDOUS things in my mouth until I can afford to get them removed and do the new treatment. On top of that, I will now be forced to wear a retainer in my mouth four nights a week for the rest of my life!!!!! If you're getting all veneers, maybe you'll be okay. If you're not, KEEP LOOKING FOR ANOTHER DENTIST!!!! I CAN'T EXPLAIN HOW I WISH I COULD TURN BACK TIME!!!! OH, THE REPAIR JOB--JUST UNDER $15,000 WITH A DISCOUNT!! Oh, I also do not bite into anything! My veneers are so thick, and my teeth don't meet like they should, and I'm afraid they'll pull off and split my gums!! Below are photos of what I used to look like and what I look now! I would also like to say it is embarrassing for me to post these photos!!!
