Bhavna J Patel, DDS

I went here back when I had no insurance and had a lot of work done; a couple of root canals and the corresponding crowns. The work was extremely expensive, as dental work can be. I had thought the work was fine, except for one part where I heard her say «Oops.» This was her saying that she had accidentally lost one of the picks inside one of my canals. The only way to be able to extract it would be to do some vibration thing to my mouth, which would probably loosen all of my teeth. Um, no thanks. At that time, I at least figured all of my other dental work was done correctly. However, I moved to Baltimore and started seeing a new dentist, and from the first moment he saw me, he was horrified. I could tell both he and the hygienist were trying to be tactful, and not say anything too incendiary but I got the picture. The work in my mouth had been done VERY wrong and in fact would have to be redone. So I spent over $ 3,000 here at Patel’s and it was all for naught. Even though I have insurance now, it will still cost me hundreds of dollars to have this fixed. I am unhappy and if I can save anyone else from having such an awful experience, then at least my pain was worth something.
