Dr. Patel and the new team are a true delight. Completely love the teamwork and great energy. Dr. Patel performed a different technique during my visit and I absolutely loved it. All his comments was in support of Dr. Crusser. Very supportive and a true definition of team running mate.

Dr. Patel is one of the most educated informed dentist I have ever met! It was such a relief to see a doctor that knew the problem, fixed it, and didnt try to sell me things I didnt need. I do not have insurance but there dental savings plan paid for itself within my first visit. I went to 2 other dentist over 5 visits and I was still in pain. It cost me a fortune until I came to Lakeshore Dental. Dr Patel got me fixed at a reasonable price in a astonishing timely manner. Thank you so much to you and all of your staff!!
