Light Family Dental

Had to put 5 stars so it would show up but this place is clean and sanitary but dr patel is so rude to his patients and employees all he wants is money

Dr. Mayur Patel was very friendly, professional and efficient. He made sure I was comfortable throughout the process and explained the process as he was going. The dental staff were also great. You also get frequent text reminders about the appointment which was handy. First time visit, and I’ll definitely be back.
*TIP — You can check-​in for your appointment online (link received with text reminder), where you can fill out the forms earlier instead of at the office. You can also watch Netflix while you’re in the chair, which is pretty cool.

I have mixed reviews about this place based on a one time visit. My cleaning was scheduled with Dr. Patel on an early Tuesday morning just before I headed to work. Thankfully the staff was able to squeeze me in on such a short notice about two days earlier. However, when I went in the office was very quiet, awkwardly quiet I must say… I felt a little uneasy about being there. I was not welcomed, and being a brand new patient this worried me. Seeing as the building was located in a shady parking lot off of Route 1 in an seemingly abandoned office building, the worries just kept adding on.
So, as I fill out my paperwork. got my x-​rays done, the assistants make little to no effort in trying to hold a conversation with me. I picked up on all sorts of tension, nervousness, and general confusion from them… I’m not sure if they had just began working with Light Family Dental, or they were still a little groggy from the morning. Soon Dr. Patel came in and examined my teeth, detected I had 1 cavity that was very tiny (size of a pin needle) and could quickly get it fixed. Now, I don’t know about you, but i hate the dentist and what Dr. Patel said next reaffirmed my extreme fears and hate for such said dentist. Since the cavity was apparently SO small and insignificant he said that I would not even need novocaine… not numbing agents, that he would drill and I would be taken care of in 10 – 15 minutes. Which would all be fine IF I was not a total freak about fillings. I may have an irrational fear of the overall situation, but as a doctor, isn’t it the responsibility to try to ease the patient? Ya, I thought so too.
I mentioned again that I will need novocaine because I know myself as a patient and my extreme sensitivity. After going back and forth about this for about 5 minutes, Dr. Patel was still persistent that I would not feel a thing. After that conversation, I am looking for other dentist in the area. It is clear he only had interests in doing what HE wanted to do because he has been «doing this for years».
Please, take your patronage elsewhere…

First time visit to Dr. Mayur Patel and the visit was amazing! He made me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process. He recently acquired this practice but it felt like he has been there for years.
I would recommend Dr. Mayur Patel to anyone seeking dental work.
