Today I had an appointment at this location. The entire staff saw how nervous I was and made sure I was at ease. They found was to help me and care for my teeth. I will continue to come to this location and refer people here. Thank you for the care. read more

Big scam. This place knows I am in pain for 6 months they make you wait. They send you to different places. That charge you 500 dollars. Then they say they can't help you . They offered no antibiotics no pain meds. But they will take your money . They refuse to help you . Beware of this scammer place . read more

They were so wonderful to all my children and helped with the anxiety of the kids and myself .

The only dentist I trust with my teeth. He'll ask questions; and doesn't assume. He changes his gloves each time he works with new patient (some dentists don't do this). He'll check in during operation to make sure you are comfortable. The best part is that he'll find a solution that works. Britney did a great job on putting my temp on while I am waiting for the crown. Excellent. I would rate her a 10 here. read more

I hadn't been to a dentist in quiet awhile. Dr. Patel & his staff was very attentive, nice and courteous. I did need a generous amount of work done. Reception was able to fit me in within 2 weeks to get all of the work done. Britney the drs assistant was so nice and gentle. They both kept asking if I was ok or needed anything while I was getting worked on. Will continue to come back for future visits. read more

Holding teeth hostage! We've gone 3-4 times each year for like almost 3 years, we have someone who got braces because their parent when she wasn't old enough to agree to anything and that parent hasn't paid the balance that was 6 years ago, she's an adult now and they keep promising removal for no cost to her, they've gotten us to come so many times promising removal then to switch the story once we're at the location, business is just shady and they really are just holding her teeth hostage other dentist won't touch her teeth without removal of the braces and no one else wants to remove them and they suggest the original place, it's really frustrating I understand it should be paid but it's already in collections for the parent, it's fully the parents responsibility read more

The best! The staff was amazing! Most thorough teeth cleaning I've ever had. Would definitely recommend.

Awful orthodontist do not go here. My sister wanted her braces removed because her parent was no longer paying for the procedures and the Ortho refused to remove them until we paid the bill in full. ( She's a minor and never signed papers) and they apologized and asked us to come in for a consult to remove them and they tried to charge us $500 for removal. I asked if they could at least match the price of the other Ortho of $300 the office manager Wendy said no. Unbelievable. read more

I started coming to Dr. Patel when I was around 16. I had a severe infection in my mouth and he helped clear the discomfort I had been having for months. I went back in the last year to get a cleaning and get a consultation on braces and Wendy was so very helpful and answered any questions I had throughly. Marilynn has always been very helpful and nice as well as all the staff here. I've had my braces for a few months now and recently got wisdom teeth out as well and I was told to call if I needed anything or help with discomfort. Thank you Dr Patel! I have and will continue to recommended this place to family and friends. read more

Please don't allow this dentist to work on you. I went in his office for teeth cleaning, he told me I needed a crown on tooth, said it has Crack into it and filling pulling away from tooth. I said ok. I got home that night my tooth was hurting, like nerve was exposed. They said give it time, 10 days later I was told I need root canal. Still in pain I had no choice. I was charged for root canal which I thought was wrong. If dentist admitted he hit a nerve, I could of had root canal right away. read more

Staff is friendly and always helpful. I've had many procedures done here and the dentist has amazing bedside manor and listens to all your concerns. read more

My wife and I've been here on three separate occasions. Only one of which was a positive experience. The first two visits were with Dr. Patel. First experience was...new...to us so a little uncomfortable. On the second visit he corrected minor adjustments so that was an A+ but when we came in for a root canal today, my wife had an utterly painful experience, having being numbed up but shot the needle at to high of an entry having her whole half of her face numbed from upper gum to eye socket and not essentially where the numbing argent needed to be. After all was done, my wife has a whole in her lip that just mysteriously appeared, and cotton left in, (I asked if she was bleeding, dr told me no she's fine) unsure when we can pull it out safely. We get home and remove the cotton to find a huge gash in her gum line!!! Seriously WTF! I instantly call and cancel any follow up appointments. I find out that Dr. Patel is on vacation and this temporary fill in crackpot called dr Gilbert fucked up and couldn't even finish her root canal. If you can fix this Dr. Patel, it'd be the only way to change this review. read more

Vimal Patel, DDS - Error critical. I would fire you if you worked for me. - General Dentistry Near Me - Hemet, California

We were vacationing in Idyllwild for my mother in law's 65th birthday and on her birthday a crown popped off. We have a regular dentist near home, but we searched frantically for an office to help put the crown back on until we could get to our regular dentist this week. Dr. Patel's office was so kind on the phone, allowing us to get in, late on a Friday afternoon. We called at 4pm and they closed at 6pm. When we got to the office, everyone was very welcoming and kind. Dr. Patel seated the crown back for my mother in law, enough for her to get through the weekend to make it to her regular dentist. Thanks team! Great work!! read more

I've been seeing Dr Patel for 3 years, just for routine exams. I came in one time last year for reoccurring pain and soreness on my bottom left molar which had a root canal done at another facility. After 6 years of pain on and off Dr. Patel figured out that my crown was too high. He went ahead a filed it down, that fixed the pain I was having for so long. He's always kind and the staff is as well. read more

Dr Patel has been my family's and my dentist since 2013. He and his staff have always been very amazing. They provide the best care and present all payment options.

Been waiting 4 an appointment 4 a month. Set an appointment with them. Rearranged my schedule for a specific day. Then on night before the appointment they call me and cancel appointment till me to.reschedule. if I did that a lot of places would charge me for not giving enough notice. So I lost about $500 in work cuz I put off taking any clients that day. Then I was talking to them on the phone to see if anything could be done the lady tells me she'll call me right back and nothing. No call back. They're a good office I don't know what happened in this situation tho read more

Let me start by saying that as embarrassing as it can be I get terrified when it comes to going to the Dentist! I had a bad experience in my teenage years and that's all it took for me to be scared of all Dentist, I always have to find someone that is patient with me and understands my situation!! Anyways, 2 weeks I woke up with a toothache and swollen gum, so I searched for a dentist near by me with the best reviews and experience, and Dr. Patel had the best reviews all 5's so I decided to call as soon as they opened and Wendy, was the one who answered and I told her i needed an appointment ASAP, she was able to take me in 1 hour after, which is amazing, I went in and the staff right away welcomed me, and I filled out the paperwork which isn't a lot or overwhelming, who wants to fill out papers when in PAIN (not me lol) Fast forward.... I got xrays, met Dr Patel he listened to me and explained what was the problem with my tooth, gave me antibiotics, went back 5 days ago, got my treatment which was 3 extractions, i was shaking and the whole time he kept talking to me and explaining what he was doing, calmed me down, numbed me and after 20-25 mins he started the extraction and GUESS WHAT? I did not feel anything!!!!! No pain!! Less than 7-8 mins when he said okay ur done!?? I was like, IM DONE REALLY ?WOWWWWW!! If you're like me then i recommend him! All the staff from receptionists, dental assistants , xray tech, Raquel the Accounting Manager & Dr Patel are amazing and make you feel like family and comfortable! I will continue any dental work with him! If something changes i will also UPDATE IT HERE IN YELP! read more

My 20 yr. old crown came off Tuesday night after office hours. I called first thing Wednesday morning and they were able to give me an appointment for 11:30am. Had been a while since my last exam so they did a new st of x-rays and an examination while I was there. Yissel was very efficient at her job of taking the x-rays and preping the crown for a re-cement. Less than an hour later I was on my way with my crown repaired and a cleaning scheduled. This place is GREAT! read more

The worse dentist office I have ever been to! I've never in my life seen such a disconnect between the doctor and staff! They are rude, don't work with scheduling, and the office manager has no clue what is going on in this office. If you plan on going here I would think twice! There's many places to choose from besides this horrible place. read more

Staff VERY professional and Dr Patel is so genuinely attentive to the needs of children. Very happy with the entire staff and highly recommend. Honest work!! read more

Very friendly staff, finally had a chance to stop by. My filling fell or broke of so that's what brought me in. Initial visit full X-ray and light cleaning. The only reason I didn't give them a 5 stars is because they forgot about me twice. I waited in the lobby for almost an hour to see this lady that was supposed to go over my treatment but she never came out and after an hour I went to the main desk to tell them I had to go back to work and the reception lady said they would call me instead, that was Wednesday and today is Sunday and still no call. I'm sure they forgot about me I will call Monday to follow up my tooth is still in pain. read more

I am super afraid of having dental work done but he is very gentle and always stops to make sure you're okay. Would highly recommend to anyone with a fear of dental work!

Shopping around for a dentist I came across Hemet Family Dentist, Dr. Vimal Patel,DDS, after the standard X-ray and evaluation I asked for order of procedures then for pricing on each. 1st Procedure was a tooth removal.(covered by Denti-cal) 2nd Was a deep cleaning, this treatment was estimated @ $1,010.00, The root canals with crowns @ around 2,000.00 ea. I needed 3 of those I stopped asking after this. Knowing I could do better I managed to find 4 dentist under $500 to do the deep cleaning job, The one I was interested in was just $60 a Quad. I called up Patel informed them of the dentist and gave them an opportunity to price match or at least make an attempt and if not if they could send my X-rays to "Sunshine Dental Care"_239 N Sanderson Ave, Ste C-2 Hemet, CA (951) 925-1223 to Nicole so she could schedule me. I was told I had to wait for an approval and that someone would get back to me within a half hr. or so...after almost 2hrs. that person called and refused to send any X-ray info. unless I was willing to pay them $35.00.(Law: Your health care provider must provide copies of the records for not more than $.25 per page, or $.50 per page for records) http://www.calpatientguide.org/iii.html I am filing a complaint with the Dental Board of California http://www.dbc.ca.gov/ HIPAA violation in accordance to California Health and Safety Code § 123110, refusing to provide copies at a reasonable fee, but what if I want the originals which were paid for thru Denti-cal? Does this mean there given to me free of charge? petty and self-serving you think? read more

Dr. Vimal Patel is amazing! My 2 front teeth had a crack running through the middle of my teeth. I'm guessing it's due to numerous pregnancies. Anyway, he said they would have to be capped or I would run the risk of them eventually just cracking. I believe him because I noticed them prior to him saying anything and had done some research. I was extremely nervous about the procedure, but he did an amazing job. He is always very warm every visit and during the procedure he kept making sure I was comfortable and felt no pain. My front teeth look beautiful now. I also had my wisdom teeth done at his office. The guy that did them was wonderful. My wisdom sockets are now healed and I don't have the problems my wisdom teeth were causing (smelly discharge and reoccurring infections). His front staff are just as great as he is. They are always very welcoming and very, very sweet. His hygienist is just as great. I have been using the wrong type of tooth brush my entire life, which she informed me was causing my gum lines to recede. I had no idea! She also taught me how to floss correctly. These guys are so amazing and I highly recommend them. Especially, if you don't like going to the dentist. read more

Came in as moral support for one of his patients and his oral surgery specialist was rude and sarcastic. I work in the dental field and never experienced someone speak to me so rudely about being in the room during a procedure. Eva read more

I had to cancel an appointment with this dental office...I did it in a timely fashion and these greedy buzzards still charged me $36 dollars which I assume at that time was the penalty for cancelling late....but I was not late in cancelling!!!!! read more

Had to make an urgent appointment and ended up trekking to dr. petels other location in hemet. no difference in service. friendly and reassuring angel and yissel were very nice. would recomend either location to anyone. thanks again! read more

Dr. Patel and his staff are amazing! My 8 year old son was handled with such care and understanding of his fear of needles! I hated the dentist before finding Dr. Patel. They are very friendly and willing to try and accommodate your schedule! I've found the dentist I will have for as long as he's a dentist! Thank you Dr. Patel, Michael, Stephanie, Karla and Brenda for making coming back to the dentist a pain free experience! read more

Very very unprofessional dentist and his staff. The so called office manager is super rude if you have medical. She will give you an attitude issues , looks like she is going through her personal problems she is bringing her personal problems to the office and she was yelling at the back office staff in front of everybody. Definitely not coming back because of rude office manager. read more

I called around different offices because I was having major tooth ache, and the office girls seemed not to care. When I called Dr. Patel's office, the staff was very helpful and understanding and was able to get me in the same day. When i went in the office it was very nice and everything was clean and well organized. When I met the Dr. he was very nice and understood how i was afraid and took the time to listen to my past experiences. He explained in detail and took the time to show me videos of the procedures I needed, no one has ever done that for me before. I felt very comfortable there and I was able to start my treatment immediately. I highly recommend this office to anyone... I didn't even feel the shot!. I'm so glad I finally found a good dentist for me and my family!!!! read more

If I could give 10 stars I would. Raquel the manager referred me to this place and squeezed me in the next day. The Dr is amazing!!! No pain or anything during the cleaning. And the office staff helped occupy my 9 month old son and even put him down for his nap! In and out within an hour. Definitely found my new dentist!!!! read more

Had my follow up, definitive procedure and I can say I am absolutely delighted!
