Patel Jayesh,DDS

I was recently referred to Dr. Patel for a root canal, and I was not looking forward to it. However, the procedure was relatively quick and painless, which was a nice surprise. Also, he does a good job of checking up on you after the procedure to make sure there are no problems.

I have always been incredibly nervous and anxious to go to any dentist based on childhood experiences. I was referred to Dr. Patel for a root canal in 2011. It was no sweat, honestly; way different then my friends made it seem. Again, recently, I was told by another dentist that I needed a root canal on a different tooth and immediately I knew who I was going to call.
Dr Patel is the ONLY person I would see for this type of work. He’s very knowledgeable, gentle, warm in nature and calms me down by explaining the entire process throughout the procedure; so much so that you actually forget you’re getting a procedure done at all. I would not even entertain another Doctor for this type of job. All of the plaques on his wall are proof he’s the best in the area!
Oh, and he calls you at the end of the day to check on how you’re feeling. How many dentists take the time out to check on their patients? I can only give 5 stars but I’d give even more if there was an option!
Keep up the great work, Dr. Patel!

I’ve had two root canals with Dr Patel and he does excellent work. From making appointments to completing dental work, the entire process was smooth. His assistant Jackie is super too.

Simply the best ever! I get so anxious when it comes to anesthesia needle, he is so quick and efficient, did not even hurt any more than a routine cleaning.
He explains every little thing that he is about to perform.
Also, he calls you to check on you on the same day!
Wow

Last week, I was referred to Dr. Patel for a root canal by my dentist due to my tooth being too calcified for my dentist to do it himself. I was a bit reserved, who WANTS a root canal? And really, the price you pay for them to inflict all that pain, to your mouth as well as your wallet? But all jokes aside, I had my reservations, it was a simple office not much on the way of décor, but very clean.
I didn’t see much as I was in the first room as you enter the office, but there seems to be one hallway of exam rooms. When I had called, the receptionist was very polite and being that I had 2 insurances and one was expiring in just a few days, she was able to bring me in the next morning to insure that I was able to minimize the out of pocket expense. The registration forms were emailed to me, and they were very simple and speedy, a point and click format that didn’t require a lot of typing, which when you have to do lengthy histories, that is GREAT!!! It is also directly linked to their portal, so there isn’t anything to send back to them, and they see it before your visit, great help.
The morning I arrived, I was a couple minutes late and called and they were very accommodating as few doctors are. Once were sorted out the insurance and I was taken back, they looked over my x-​rays and we had to do new ones. This is my only area of complaint, the assistant wasn’t great in explaining why the new ones had to be completed, but I reserved that it had to be done and we moved on.
When I met Dr. Patel himself, he went into more detail on the x-​rays, pointing out on the older ones and new ones his staff did as to the magnified images, how he was going to do the procedure, the 3 types of «Caines» he was going to use to numb me and why, and how they were used due to the length of time they each worked… I am a nurse and had used each of them and had never thought of it from the aspect he explained it. He made my nerves melt away. Saying this, is a HUGE DEAL!!! I take Xanax to get my fillings done and wear earbuds to get my teeth cleaned!!!
The explained each step of the procedure and worked quick, efficiently and not that I want to have any other endodontal work in the future, but if it comes up, I would definitely return to his office.

Saw Dr. Patel today for a root canal, never fun! He and his staff are superb!!! From start to finish everyone there was so fun and friendly! Dr. Patel did his thing quickly while explaining everything to me along the way. I was never in any pain at all and I am usually a true Wimp at the dentist!
I Highly recommend his practice for anyone who is in need of the «dreaded root canal».
First class doctor and staff!

I was here for an emergency root canal. I was greeted well by the receptionist the check-​in was fast and clear. Once on the chair Dr. Patel was super clear on what was going to happen and completed the procedure with the least pain I could have dealt with. The procedure was so quick I was not convinced the work was done. Dr. Patel was extremely clear on what needed to be done and even called me after 7 PM to check up on me. The checkout procedures were awesome.
I never thought I would type a visit to the Dr was amazing but this comes pretty close. Strongly recommend Dr.Patel.

When I was referred to Dr. Patel for two root canals by my dentist I asked «is he the best you know?’ My dentist replied that «Dr. Patel is the only one who does my teeth» and I know why. His staff is extremely polite, professional and courteous. They did not get antsy when I asked a million questions and did all they could to allay my fears that my allergy to pain would appear. Dr. Patel was the consummate professional explaining the steps and procedure before and during the treatment. Although I am allergic to pain amazingly I never felt any. After treatment, Dr. Patel followed up with a courtesy call to assess my after treatment condition and that call was worth a million thanks. It’s great to know that there are professionals who genuinely care about their patients and the service they provide.

I just saw Dr. Patel today, and I don’t think I could have had a better experience. Nobody wants to hear they have to have a root canal, but it’s all apart of getting my teeth in better condition. No sense in avoiding it.
I was quite nervous on the way, because I really didn’t know what to expect. I never had a root canal before. When I walked in I was immediately greeted by the receptionist. She was by far the nicest person I have met to date in Virginia (I am new to the area). She recommended some places to go for my age group, and got me pretty psyched to start exploring my surroundings down here.
Dr. Patel was very professional. I would describe him as quick and efficient, but absolutely not cold and indifferent. Seeing that my dentist appointment went so well, I was skeptical of my luck here. Well, I was proved wrong again! I’m starting to think that Virginia is just full of great people.
I couldn’t believe how well it went. I didn’t even feel the needle go in for the Novocaine. I obviously felt the drill a little bit, but not in a painful way. Before I knew it it was over! We went over a few things and was very explanatory of the next steps. I am very happy with my visit, and I am looking forward to having everything completed.
He even called me at 5:30 pm to see how I was doing, and to remind me of some of the things to do to keep pain and swelling down. This place is spectacular, and I can now recommend him and his staff to everybody!

The day before surgery for an extraction, I was referred to Dr. Patel by a friend for a second opinion. I had a partial root canal performed four days prior and was told that it could not be completed due to a calcified root canal, and surgery was scheduled.
During my consultation, Dr. Patel completed my root canal, located an additional root, and removed a tiny file that had broken off from the initial root canal attempt. It was absolutely painless! He explained everything along the way and was very patient. He even called me at home to check on me! He saved me from an extraction and implants. I was very impressed with him, and his staff. It is a very proficient, efficient, and professional office. Tiffany is awesome!

Given the fairly poor situation of having to do a root canal, Dr Patel is a great choice, and specialized in root canals. His practice is well managed and effective and the staff is very pleasant. As opposed to many dentists, I experienced no wait time. Even though I arrived 30 minutes early, I was brought straight into a treatment room.
The treatment was surprisingly painless, Dr Patel explained every part of the treatment and I received a follow-​up call from the doctor in the evening after each session.
After completion, I got a comprehensive report to bring back to my referring dentist. I have no basis to review the cost, but his staff had called my insurance company and had cleared everything prior to my visit. I got a final out-​of-​pocket bill that I could clear right away.

RAVE REVIEW for Dr. Jayesh Patel (Microscopic Endodontist): I, unfortunately, had a dental emergency yesterday and into today. I had to be treated by an endodontist. I was treated by Dr. Patel about 10 years ago for a root canal and during that procedure I feel asleep! Who does that?!! It was actually a pleasant experience. Today, I had a massively infected tooth that previously had a root canal by a less competent dentist about 12 years ago. Apparently, they left a nerve that has been causing a lingering infection and it culminated with an infection leading all the way to the BONE! Unbelievably painful. Dr. Patel fit me in immediately today (the endodontist my dentist referred me to, told me that they could fit me in NEXT WEEK!!!) I was in SEVERE pain and there is no way I could have gone that long with an infection so bad. Dr. Patel’s office is beautiful and sunny at Fairfax Corner. Dr. Patel & his staff are SO friendly & calm… competent and knowledgable… which makes you feel very much at ease. Every step of the way, they were careful, reassuring, and complete. Dr. Patel explained everything to me very clearly but did not «dumb it down». I couldn’t have been in better hands. Again, the procedure was PAINLESS even though I had some major issues going on. Later today, I called because I was experiencing a symptom I thought I should report. He spoke with me immediately and was extremely kind (and again, reassuring) that it was nothing to become alarmed about and explained the «why» my symptom was occurring… Then, he informed me that he calls every patient to check on them on his drive home… and that he would be calling me again later tonight to answer any questions and to check on my status. (WHAT DOCTOR or DENTIST DOES THAT NOWADAYS… perhaps a nurse… but the doctor… WOW!) He also gives out his cell phone # so that if anything happens after hours, we can call him. That made me feel really cared for and important. IF YOU NEED AN ENDODONTIST for a root canal, etc…(which I hope you don’t…but if you do)…PLEASE GO SEE DR. JAYESH PATEL :) I have had many root canals over the years and other procedures… but this is the only time that I’ve felt compelled to share how wonderful a doctor was.

Ah. The dreaded root canal. When I found out that I had to have one, I was a bit of a wreck. My dentist recommended Dr. Patel and assured me that he was very good. She didn’t steer me wrong.
His office is very nice. It’s clean, simple, nothing fancy. The girl at the front desk was very personable and professional and checked me in efficiently. They emailed me a link to fill out all the forms before I actually arrived, which was a good idea. It saved a lot of time and it was nice to not have to do it all with pen and paper. She did take a photo of me after explaining that Dr. Patel likes to have a picture of each patient for their file so he can remember people. I thought that was a little strange, but… whatever.
After being taken back to the exam room, Dr. Patel’s assistant (her name escapes me at the moment) came in to take a couple of x-​rays and ask me some basic questions. She could tell that I was nervous and did her best to help me relax.
Dr. Patel came in shortly afterwards and introduced himself. He was very pleasant and explained everything he was going to do. The Novocaine shot sucked, but he was quick about it and numbed the area up before giving me the actual injection.
The root canal itself was pretty easy. He worked quickly and was very reassuring.
When I was checking out after the procedure the girl at the front desk gave me some free Advil samples and an instruction sheet. At the bottom of the sheet was a number to call if I had any questions after hours or any pain.
Later that evening my cell phone rang and I wasn’t able to get it in time. I checked my voicemail and it was Dr. Patel! He had called just to see how I was feeling and make sure I was doing okay. He even left his cell number in case I needed anything. How cool!
If you are unfortunate enough to need a root canal, at least you can lessen the negative experience by seeing Dr. Patel. He’s great!!!
