PATIENT REVIEWS

I would highly recommend Dana Point Smiles to anyone needing dental work…This place is AWESOME! The front staff – Kim is so kind, friendly, personable and always willing to help out. Dr. Patel is great, kind, very intelligent and knows everything about the dental field with over 35 years of experience. He’s great with his patient and makes you feel very comfortable and talks you through every stage during surgery. I wouldn’t look into going to another dentist but this one because they are wonderful, friendly, clean, no wait times, no rush, very organized, happy, thoughtful, respectful, amazing with their customers the list can go on at how wonderful this business is but most of all they all care about you and your needs and give the best information you need to know. I will continue to recommend this place to anyone in search of a truly amazing dental organization. Thanks Dana Point Smiles for all your hard work!

I finally have found a dentist that I love!! Dr. Patel and his staff are wonderful!! Very professional and friendly. They don’t try to sell you this and that, like so many other dentists do. Their fees are reasonable. I can’t believe I left the dentist so happy!!

The office had a great feeling as soon as I walked in the door.
The staff was very friendly and professional. Dr. Patel is amazing at what he does. Everything went well and pain free. I would not hesitate to recommend
the office to anyone.

First off this place is amazing and everyone who works here is awesome and so friendly! After moving across the country to be with my husband who is stationed out her I found myself without a dentist for almost 2 years! (Gross I know). I was so nervous picking a dentist especially off a list the military provides us of places their insurance will take. Thankfully I found my self walking into Dana Point Smiles and I have never been happier ! I have recommended this place to so many people in the short two weeks I have been going there. Dr. Patel is passionate about his work and it really shows with his results. If you are looking for a clean, friendly, and highly reputable dentist you MUST check this place out !

Definitely the best dentist I’ve ever been to, he is so easy to talk to and explains everything and on top of that he cracks me up! His assistant Lauren is one of the sweetest people I’ve ever met and I have to say the same for Kim up front, the entire staff is top of the line. I will recommend them to everyone!

From the time Kim greets you to having Sarah the hygienist take care of my teeth…these guys are wonderful. My teeth have never looked and felt better. Dr. Patel is also outstanding and doesn’t take advantage of your wallet. He’s very knowledgeable and even knows holistic solutions if that’s your thing. Sarah is also knowledgeable about holistic solutions. Going there is like going to a spa to take care of yourself. I won’t go elsewhere.

Dr Patel is unlike any dentist I have ever met and been treated by. And I am sixty-eight, so I have seen a lot of dentists. He has taken care of me masterfully: he is a master clinician, kind and empathetic. He is truly unparalleled. Truly. Thank you for letting me review his work.

Dr. Patel was amazing. Did a great job operating on my wisdom teeth. Took him about 20 minutes, I was expecting to go through a lot of pain but it wasn’t bad at all! Definitely recommend going to him! Thanks Dr. Patel!

These are the most amazing dental humans EVER.  I literally suffer from dental phobia and anxiety and have been to more dentists than I have teeth.  (For real, and I still have them all!)  I have had crowns, veneers, implants, and soon to have Invisalign done here and they are a God Send.  Dr. Patel is so sweet and the best in the business as far as I am concerned.  Kim is AMAZING and we talk every time I see her like we are long lost, friends.  Last, but not least, Sarah (the newest hygienist) is so caring and has a beautiful soul.  If they ever leave me, my teeth might rot out of my face because I will not want to go to anyone else!!

Great staff, very accommodating. Made me feel very comfortable considering it had been an obscene amount of time since my last dentist visit. Dr. Patel gave me a complimentary assessment, then proceeded to map out a plan to get my mouth back to healthy. I look forward to being with them for some time.

Dr. Patel is a fantastic dentist. I have had my share of dentists and he is the only one that I never felt I was being taken advantage of. He was painless, quick, and caring. I never felt like I was just another client to him. He knew my name and what was going on even as he walked into the room. He explained everything to me as he was doing it and made sure I was ok. I have never felt so comfortable and trusting of a dentist. Thank you Dr. Patel!

I was petrified to go to dentist and the whole team was gracious and friendly just like family.  Couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Stoked I found these folks! Finding a new dentist is always scary, but after my first visit with Dr Patel and his crew yesterday I hopefully won’t have to look for a dentist for a long time. The staff is all extremely friendly and professional. Sarah was my hygienist and was very attentive and gentle throughout the process. Dr. Patel prioritized my treatment options for me and Kim at the front desk was quick to check my insurance coverage and get back to me after my visit.

I drive all the way from Lake Forest to Dana Point because that’s how amazing they are. I have anxiety about the dentist, but Kim, Adrienne, and Dr. Patel make it easier for me to go in. They make it a point to know you. You are not just another patient to them.

Dana Point Smiles is the BEST!!!

Great dental practice.  Office was spotless.  Office manager Kim was great–efficient, knowledgeable and helpful.  Lauren made me feel like a friend and was extremely gentle with my teeth.  Dr. Patel was wonderful and has a warm personality.  They don’t promote unnecessary procedures and costs and I appreciate that.  As a new patient I will be using Dr. Patel from now on.

I was recommended by another patient and am so glad to have found such a great dental office.  Everyone here is friendly and goes above and beyond!!  I recently had a surgery and even received a call from Dr. Patel asking how i was feeling.  Every time i am in the office they are all so kind, it is a great feeling. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great dental office.

Dr. Patel and his staff are attentive, caring, and very knowledgeable in the field. If there’s anyone you should trust for your teeth, it’s Dr. Patel at Dana Point Smiles!
I went to Dr. Patel for the extraction of four teeth. He and his friendly and accommodating staff put me at ease despite the fear I had. In preparation for the procedure, they explained everything that they were doing, and why they were doing it. My appointment was scheduled for 9:00 am and that’s exactly when I was called in. They didn’t waste time in the preparation, and they were very efficient. After the procedure, they gave me post op instructions, with ice packs and extra gauze, and detailed instructions of how to best care for my mouth. They followed up via email with specific post op instructions and examples of what patients typically experience, which has provided a lot of relief. I will be returning soon for the removal of my stitches, and I will definitely be recommending Dana Point Smiles to all of my family and friends!!

I’ve been a patient at Dana Point Smiles for over 20 years. Despite moving twice over the past few years, we’ve remained loyal to this office because of the team they have there, they make us feel like family. Dr. Patel is warm and easy to talk with, always willing to take time to explain a procedure or explain available options. I trust him and really appreciate his attention to detail. Adrienne is hands down the greatest dental hygienist we’ve ever had. She’s friendly, knowledgeable and her choice of musical accompaniment is always appreciated. Kim is the glue that holds the whole practice together. Her understanding of insurance coverage, options and alternatives always makes me feel like my best interest is the most important thing. Kim is friendly and she’s one of the primary reasons we’ve stayed patients for so long. I’ve heard horror stories about some dental practices trying to “up sell” you on deep cleanings or other dental procedures, and I truly appreciate the fact that I never feel pressured to pay for things I don’t need. I’ve taken my wife and two daughters here all these years, and I can’t imagine going anywhere else! Dana Point Smiles is the BEST!!

I LOVE DR PATEL!!!
I was going to a dentist before and had a lot of problems with the work another dentist had done. Dr Patel has been working to make everything correct. He is gentle , funny, and kind. He does not push you into doing dental work that is not needed like some other dentists.
Kim at the front desk is wonderful! Fit’s me in whenever possible and always checks in with me. she has the office running like a it is a breeze. when we all know that scheduling and dealing with Insurance and payments are not an easy job! Lauren the dental assistant I look forward to talking with. She is so nice and funny. Always asking about my family members and how they are doing. Also making sure I am comfortable at all times.(Great job Lauren!)
The dental hygienist always has pandora streaming and asks what your preference is on music. She is gentle and does a full check on your teeth.
I can’t say enough about this office as a team. I call them the dream team. I am a lifelong client. Once I found them, my whole family now goes to them.Don’t hesitate to call for any needs. they really are wonderful!
Thank you so much for taking care of myself and my family. we appreciate you!

I hadn’t been to the dentist in 25 years and had finally decided it was time to go see a dentist. I found Dr.Patel through my wife who had a great experience at his office so I called and made an appointment. Since I hadn’t been to a dentist in so long I was pretty nervous for my first visit. Dr.Patel’s staff was very patient with me and made me feel welcome at their office. Dr.Patel answered all my questions and helped me understand what was needed. I have recommended several friends to him and I highly recommend him to anyone else.

Very great customer service! Dr. Patel never fails to keep my smile perfect! He cares about every customer and treats them well.

Wonderful dentist and staff! They have taken care of my entire family for awhile and treat us all as individuals, tailoring their treatment for each of us. I no longer dread going to the dentist because of Dr. Patel’s and Dana Point Smiles’ gentle and caring treatment. Adrian, the dental hygienist is so friendly and makes a dental cleaning a much better experience!

It’s been a really long time since I’ve been to a dentist for anything because I have had bad experiences in the past. Just coming here for a simple cleaning has made a huge difference in the way I feel. These people are so friendly and caring that’s it’s really hard not to walk out with a smile. Just from one visit here I no longer think about the dentist with an overwhelming sense of fear.
I would recommend this place to everyone.

Stoked I found these folks! Finding a new dentist is always scary, but after my first visit with Dr Patel and his crew yesterday I hopefully won’t have to look for a dentist for a long time.

Dr. Patel prioritized my treatment options for me and Kim at the front desk was quick to check my insurance coverage and get back to me after my visit.

You will not be disappointed. Everyone from the front office staff to the hygienist to Dr. Patel will make sure you are taken care of. And, no pressure about treatment, they are honest and let you decide.

The cleaning i got was the most thorough I have ever revived. My previous dentists used to hire his nieces to clean teeth and they would go through very superficially then file the insurance. This is why I changed dentists. Dr . Patel also has done crown, filling etc for me and they have been fairly painless. Only problem I had was there are several other dentists nearby and first appointment I went to wrong office, So look for Dana Point Smiles sign.

Dr. Patel is a fantastic dentist. He was painless, quick, and caring. He explained everything to me so that I was at ease. I would recommend everyone to him. Thank you Dr. Patel!

Dr. Patel is extremely knowledgeable and very thorough. He made me feel very comfortable about going to the dentist, even though it has been many years since I have been. He answered all of my questions about my treatment and reassured me that he and his staff will provide excellent care. I am so happy I chose Dr. Patel to be my new dentist. I’m looking forward to bringing my entire family to Dr. Patel’s office. Added bonus, he is located just down the street from where I live. I recommend Dr. Patel to anyone looking to find a new dentist.

Appointment time 10:00 am chair time 10:05 am total cleaning, X-ray and exam last 45 minutes well within my comfort zone time.
Felt no pain whatsoever. Teeth still feel clean and polish and it’s been 4 days. Looking forward to my next cleaning!
Very satisfied will the staff.

Dana Point Smiles goes above and beyond for their patients. Having been traumatized by another dentist. Dr. Patel and his wonderful staff have made me feel comfortable going to the dentist again.

Love this office! They make it easy. They are on time and efficient, they have all the latest technology and are very personable. A pain free dental experience all the way around. Plus I’m a cash patient and their rates are reasonable.

This is an office you can trust to give the most accurate and detailed treatment plan. I recently started seeing Dr. Patel and he’s corrected several issues I had from the dental work done by my former dentist. I couldn’t be happier to have found such an attentive dentist.

Dr. Patel, Patricia, Kim, and any other staff I may have forgotten were phenomenal! I had a root canal and crown procedure that was second to none. Extremely accommodating, relatively painless procedure, and excellent follow up care. I would recommend Dana Point Smiles to anyone for any dental issue.

I have been coming to dr. Patel for about 6 years now and he does amazing work he understands exactly what you need and gives you a beautiful smile!!! The staff are super friendly, and caring. The office is extremely clean and neat. Can’t say enough about this dental office!

I worked for Dr. Hemant Patel for enough years to know he is the most ethical dentist I know….that does supreme dentistry. Stands by his work and always has a smile!!!!!
