Yorba Linda Family Dentistry
Smitesh Patel, DDS:
Practice Profile Page

I have been coming to this practice since 2000.  The original dentist was great.  When he left the practice, I was a little nervous what to expect.  But thank goodness Dr Patel is great as well!  Very hands on and the work I have had there is top notch.  His staff is great as well.  I lived in LA for awhile, tried a dentist out there, and had a bad experience.  I drove from LA to Yorba Linda to this office.  I now live in Moreno Valley, and same thing, tried a dentist out there and had bad experience again, and now I make the hour drive to have the peace of mind to know that I and my choppers are going to get the best treatment and service.  Highly recommended!

Dr. Patel is the definition of a stand up guy. I made a last minute appointment and he was able to accommodate me. My visit ran well over the allotted time and into his lunch plans and he didn’t make me feel an ounce of guilt. I felt he gave my teeth the attention they needed and didn’t rush me to get out of his chair until he was 100% happy with the results. Also, my wife is a dental hygienist and she knew they could have tried to “up-sell” me on my treatment, but sure enough Dr. Patel didn’t. I should also mention the assistant (whose name I forgot to ask) was equally great. I highly recommend this office.

Dr. Patel and staffs professionalism is much appreciated. They are very detailed in their work and it shows! They believe in doing things right the first time. They show a level of being perfectionists in their line of work. I trust them with my teeth and the rest of my family’s teeth. My daughters have braces and they were able to work around them without a problem. They are a Six Star in my book!

I’ve been to a lot of different dentists so far in my life and this one is EXCELLENT!  Now I won’t go to anyone else.  My whole family goes here.  His staff are awesome and very friendly.  Dr. Patel tells it like it is.  He’ll narrate what he’s doing, making the patient feel more comfortable.  I no longer am afraid of the dentist.  I still don’t like it when I need something done, but knowing he’ll be doing it makes it a lot easier to get through.  A++ . Thank you SO much Dr. Patel (& staff!)  You’re AWESOME!! 🙂

I recently started going to Dr Patel for my dental care after 18 years of military dental care.  He gave me some very honest feedback about the care I had been lacking all those years and within a week, any neglect on the military’s part was taken care of by him.  He did excellent work and explained all that he was doing very well.  He also gave me a few lessons in care for my teeth and gums that no one ever took the time to explain to me before.  Lastly, when I asked for a second opinion for my wife (who is still in the military), he took the time to examine her mouth and let us know what care she would require to bring her oral health to the same level he had brought mine to.  We are very pleased with the care and honesty he provides.

Been coming for 17 years, wouldn’t dream of letting anyone else work on me. Dr. Is excellent,  Alot of pride in his work. Liz the office manager always on top of your schedule and your medical ins. You know your in good hands with Linda who is the Dental Hygienists,  I always feel she thorough and is meticulous with her work.

This dentist’s nickname is drill&fill. He never found a tooth he wouldn’t put a filling in. Cavity or no cavity. Got a great smile doesn’t he? You would too if you were raking the dough he makes. I give him him the 5 stars for being such a good business man. So if you need a dentist to do a complete unwarranted makeover on your teeth, you came to right man! His office motto-there’s a sucker born every minute .Don’t forget your wallet!

Phenomenal work and excellence to detail. Like many others, I hate going to the dentist. However, after much pain and eating only on one side of my mouth for far too long I had to find somewhere to go.  After reading the favorable reviews on here I gave Dr. Patel a chance; and I could not have been happier.  Dr. Patel has helped me to devise not only a reactive treatment plan, but a proactive plan to help out my grill.  I can’t rate Dr. Patel high enough!  Thanks, Doc!

I started going to this dental office about 30 years ago when Dr. Pathak was there. Dr. Patel is the ideal person to take Dr. Pathak’s place. I now take my children there as well. Some dentists don’t do as well with kids as others, but Dr. Patel is excellent!  I’ve even moved out of the area and still drive out a few times a year for him!  He is such a perfectionist, I never worry if I’m leaving with mediocre work.  Elizabeth has been there since I started going on the 80s and is the most helpful person! HIGHLY recommended dentist!

I’m usually not one for writing reviews unless I have a really good or bad experience. In this case it was exceptional!  From registration at front of house all the way through to seeing Dr. Patel and his assistant Liz who was equally amazing. I went in for a routine clean and polish and transpired I needed a couple of fillings which I’m grateful they were able to do at the same time saving me a lot of time and effort. The treatment was quick and effortless with Dr. Patel giving me a detailed synopsis of my teeth. The service was affable! Dr. Patel has a great team working with him, they made me feel right at ease, they were polite, personable and attentive to my requirements. You get a true sense of the “family” dentistry when visiting his surgery. Keep up the great work guys!

Dr. Patel is great! If I could give him more stars, I would. The previous owner of this practice unfortunately passed away and Dr. Patel has done an awesome job of taking it over. He is incredibly personable and always listens to any concerns I have.  He doesn’t try to rush through his appointments and takes his time explaining procedures, treatment, and different options that are available to me. I love that he is so thorough and precise and truly cares about his patients. I will definitely be coming back to see him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a good, trustworthy dentist in the area.

FINALLY! I found a dentist that I actually like and can trust! Dr. Patel really explains everything for any treatment before doing anything. Office is super close to my house making it very convenient. Staff is AWESOME and very friendly. Great experience!!

Dr. Patel and his staff are simply great all around people. From the moment you walk into the door as a patient they are extremely welcoming and always timely. Dr. Patel is very thorough with explaining exactly what he is going to do and his work is excellent. For someone that hates the dentist and loves candy this is a BIG deal for me to write a review. I would highly recommend him to any of my friends or family.

Dr Patel is very kind, generous and friendly. I completely trust him as my dentist and am very glad to be under his care.  The care feels very personal as he always asks how things are going in my life, remembers what I was last up to, and inquires how things are going. He’s very conscientious of my lifestyle from college student to recent graduate, which helps a lot regarding time and financial situations. The rest of his staff are also great, they’re considerate and kind and I also feel as if I’m in good hands with them as well. The hygienist is wonderful and I love catching up with her on visits. It feels like I’m visiting a friend and not a dentist when I go to Dr Patel. I’m very thankful I have such a great dentist.
