"Dr. Patel and his staff are incredible. I came to to Dr. Patel with tooth pain and a strong dislike for the dentist. After having a very bad experience, I didn't go back for years. Caring Smiles changed that for me. Everyone is kind, knowledgeable, and so patient. I've been back several times and each experience is better than the next. My husband now goes here as well!"
