Govind B Patel, DDS and Associates

Atul Patel is the best dentist I’ve ever visited. He has pulled all of my wisdom teeth, performed my root canal, filled my cavities, and has done my cleanings. I trust this man with my life and would highly recommend him. My dad and my best friend even see him now for their dental work and they only have great things to say as well!

Went in for emergency tooth care, they gave me options, and possibly future work and advice I may need down the road. Great staff!

This dentist is a crook. I asked him to check my benefits before doing any work. It turns out he is not in network. He charged me $ 75 upfront and then tried to charge me another $ 200 when the claim was rejected. DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN!!!

I have been to a few dentists growing up, some scared me from needles, some criticized my teeth, but this one was another story! They really know how to establish rapport with their patients. Both dentists are really good here, and I got a root canal done without feeling a thing, honestly. The big injection for anesthesia going in, I didn’t even feel ANYTHING! They know how to make their patients comfortable and without pain. These dentist are super knowledgeable and diagnose correctly, they really know what they are doing, and everything. I highly recommend it here.

I would recommend this professional office to anyone in the Chicago area. I went into this office with very little knowledge about the Patels– the father and son team – only as so far as the research I did on their work. I was extremely impressed by their professionalism and their very-​apparent interest in helping their patients make their own best decisions.
After looking at my tooth which appeared to be crumbling apart from decay on the x-​ray, Atul Patel said that he was fairly confident that I would need a root canal. He, maybe noticing my nervousness, which I had because it was the first time I had any type of dental problem, told me that he would be glad to have Dilip Patel (his son) look at the x-​ray and the tooth for my peace of mind. I was blown away by his taking this extra step that he was not obligated to take.
Everyone know: root canals are very expensive. I am from out of town so I do not have dental insurance that covers dental procedures in Chicago. But the Patels gave me a very reasonable rate that did not make me feel bad about paying out of pocket. In short, the two make a fantastic team: they are experts (of everything from basic dental hygiene to surgery), extremely accommodating, flexible, transparent, and talented.
Luckily, when Dilip Patel opened my tooth to see the damage inside, the damage was not so close to the nerves so I only needed a filling, which he gave me, quickly and painlessly. I have seen many dentists before in my life but these two are by far the best I have ever experienced.

Great place. So efficient! I’m glad I found a good dentist.

These doctors are awesome! I have a major phobia of the drills, needles, etc, and I can honestly say that for the first time I have discovered comfort in going to the dentist. I travel 30mins to get here and it is worth all the traffic in the world. The service is very personable and they walk you through each and every step of the procedure, which makes drilling a cavity not seem so life threatening after-​all!
For those who do not have insurance, costs are extremely low and affordable… Rare now these days. This practice is not out to make a ridiculous profit, as they are more concerned about the general health and well being of the patient. I also must say that for being a dentist office, I have never had to wait more than 10−15mins for my appointment, like most others where you experience an insane wait time.
I will never hesitate to make another appointment for the dentist again! Absolutely, 100% recommended!

I would recommend this father and son team. This relaxed yet professional environment made me feel comfortable. They explained what needed to be done and were patient with my questions. Although not a fancy office it works.

About as friendly an atmosphere as you could ask for. I had a tooth pulled there yesterday… and as much pain as i was/​am currently still in i have to admit to being quite happy with the overall service. Father /​Son duo are extremely nice and very professional. Walk-​ins welcome (which is great for procrastinators, who like me deal w/​the pain until its simply unbearable…) Quick service made it easier for me to not run out of there… (i knew going in that a tooth needed pulling…)(so to say the least i was scared)
reasonable prices.
only 1 complaint :
the doors (both mine and the lady next to me) where wide open… so anyone/​everyone in the waiting room could look in. I didnt scream –much… more of a moan/​yelp ((no pun intended)) but the other lady was Screaming in pain as i was walking out. the office is extremely small, so i get why the doors where open… but as i was leaving a mom and her daughter where getting there… im 22 and was piss scared. imagine a little 11 yr old girl? hearing a grown ass woman crying/​screaming isnt at all encouraging…
