A Word from Dr. Patel

Over the years, I’ve enjoyed creating beautiful smiles, but what I’m most passionate about are the relationships I’ve built with my patients, colleagues, and team. I was born and raised in London–Wimbledon, England, and have called the Sacramento area home for the past 20 years. When I’m away from the office, I enjoy staying active as an avid squash and tennis player, competing in national tournaments whenever I can. On Sunday afternoons, you’ll usually find me unwinding and watching a movie with my family and friends.

Fun Fact: I love Star Wars, the Olympic Games, and Roger Federer!

I usually get anxious at dental appointments, but the team at Avorio Dental® made me feel relaxed the moment I walked in. They explained everything in plain English and checked on me the whole time during my cleaning. Dr. Patel was patient, kind, and never rushed. I left feeling taken care of, not just “done with an appointment.”

I came in with a chipped front tooth and was honestly embarrassed to smile. Avorio Dental® got me in quickly, walked me through the fix, and made it look completely natural. The attention to detail was incredible. Dr. Patel treated it like it mattered, and that meant a lot to me.

My son is picky and nervous about anything medical, but Avorio Dental® handled him so well. They talked to him like a person, not a problem, and kept him smiling through his exam. We were in and out, and he actually asked when we’re coming back. Huge win. Thanks to Dr. Patel and the whole crew.

I had been putting off getting a crown because I assumed it would be a long, stressful process. It was the opposite here. Avorio Dental® made the whole thing straightforward, and the crown fits perfectly. No sensitivity, no bite issues, just a great result. Dr. Patel explained everything and kept it simple.
