SmilePlus Dentistry

My 12 year old son has never liked going to the dentist. In fact he hates going. This year we needed to switch dentist so we picked Dr. Patel. I am so glad that we did. This is the first time he has had a positive experience. He was telling me all about it. He really liked it and the people that worked there.
Dr Patel is wonderful — she came out and introduced herself to me. She went over my son’s checkup. Just a very nice person — very honest and goodhearted.
I 100% recommend her — nice staff — great dentist — clean office — what more could you ask for

Have been going to Dr. Hema Patel for last 11 years! (WOW! I cannot believe it).
I was scared of dentist as a child and that changed with Dr. Hema Patel.
She is very gentle, accommodative and very knowledgable doctor.
My 6 year old also looks fwd to the bi-​annual visits
Highly recommend!

New patient here and completely enjoyed the services. Excellent staff and DR. Patel does great work!

I believe the bad reviews given by couple of people seems like a mistake. They might have the wrong Dr Patel. My family has been going to Dr Patel for 7 years. My kids enjoy her. I really like the fact that she talks them through the whole process as she works on them. So no surprises. Very through and professional. They feel very comfortable on letting her work on them. I have had no issue about any false charges. She is very up front about all costs for any procedures. I have highly recommended her to all my friends and family who seem to enjoy going to her as well. My old dentist from Pleasanton would tell me I needed work done when I really didn’t just to make money. I don’t feel that way here. Thanks for the great service Dr Patel.

Hema Patel has been by dentist for many years. She and her staff are thorough, polite, friendly & professional. Dr. Patel is very good at explaining things & offering treatment options. Appointments are on time, with reminders by phone & email. I highly recommend her service

Very kind place of business. Willing to work with patients on their insurance. Dr. Patel has kept my mouth free of cavities so far. Planning on returning.

Dr. Patel is amazing. I have the biggest fear of dentists and needles. However, I really needed dental work done. My husband has been coming to this office and Dr. Patel since that past 8 years. He used to try to convince me to go and get my teeth checked. Of course, I did not go because I was scared of dentists. However, once I had to go because my husband had an appointment and I drove him there. I figured since I was in the office, if they could squeeze me in, I would do a quick check-​up.
The Receptionist was super helpful and somehow made the schedule work and they were able to do a dental exam with the xrays and all. It was super quick and the staff made me feel so comfortable. I also gag with anything in my mouth, but the tools they used for the xrays are so up-​to-​date and fast that I didn’t even have a chance to feel like something was in my mouth and I would throw up.
I had to get one of my wisdom teeth extracted because of the huge cavity in it. Of course, I was beyond a mess when I heard this. Again, Dr. Patel and her staff reassured me and spent quality time telling me that they will do their best and I will not feel a thing. First, they scheduled my appointment on the next available Saturday morning so I would not have to miss work. They gave me the much needed Valium prescription for the night before. When I arrived at Dr. Patel’s office, I was treated with care and total kindness. I know that I must have acted like a baby during the treatment. Actually, I admit it that I was acting like a 5 year old breat. Yet, Dr. Patel was totally calm and patient with me. At no point during this process did she make me feel rushed or as if I needed to just deal with it and act like an adult.
I feel that Dr. Patel understood my anxiety and her care, patience, professionalism, and humor really shined through. I will be going back for regular check-​ups now. I also had a cleaning done and my teeth feel super duper clean. My healing from the wisdom teeth extraction was also really good. I did not even have to take Vicodin. A regular Advil did the trick. I attribute my speedy recovery and lack of crazy pain to Dr. Patel’s great work.
Basically, Dr. Patel is the best. Even if you have a great dentist, you will be surprised when you are treated by her. Believe me, I have been to a few good dentists in my life, but Dr. Patel belongs in a totally different category. SHE IS THE BEST!
A huge thanks to the SmilePlus Dentistry staff and Dr. Patel.

I just had one visit, and they just want to rip you apart on finances.
The exam today revealed 3 times thr filings as compared to filings from 8 months back. how strange.
And the co-​pay even after my insurance coverage was ridiculously high.
what tops is, they collect co-​pays before the appointment, never heard of such a system before, where co-​pay is collected before the treatment.
Very rude staff, though the doc herself seemed to be good and explaining.

I have been using smile plus dentistry for a few years now. Dr Patel is outstanding and knows what she is doing. Her staff is always courteous and professional. Prices are always reasonable and they always have some sort of promotion, like %10 if you check in on Unilocal!Recommend Dr patel for anyone.

Dr. Hema Patel is a wonderful dentist. She works on my family. She is great with my children and my son loves going to the dentist and he’s 5! That says a lot about how she treats even the young children. He doesn’t even want Mommy to go with him. She is gentle and effective. She refers to my office for TMD disorders too!
Thanks Doc! I really love Dr. Patel and her staff.
Thanks for providing my family with excellent care!

I am writing a review on behalf of my aunt:
We enjoy going to Dr. Hema Patel’s clinic because she always smiles and talk when she is cleaning our teeth gently so it does not hurt. We enjoy getting new cleaning teeth supplies and something from your treasure box. Your staff is nice too.
Thank you very mug for helping our son when no one else responded to the emergency. He fell off his bike and cracked his upper teeth. You were flying to Dallas at the time, but you arranged Dr. Smita to use your clinic after hours.
We appreciate your work and effort to keep our smiles beautiful!

I have been to Dr. Patel twice and she is an excellent dentist. She really puts you at ease by carefully explaining all your options and what she is doing each step of the way. I’ve never felt rushed or pressured to do «upgraded» dental work, like at some other places. I highly recommend Dr. Patel.

I just had to write an update after the last one in Oct 2009. Went back for more fillings for other teeth. Again Dr. Patel did a perfect match and blended the filling in so well that I can’t tell. This is the work of an artist!
From Oct 2009:
I finally made myself find a new dentist 2 years after moving to Fremont. (My dentist in San Francisco was excellent, but making the trip to SF just for a dental visit became burdensome.) The stars must have aligned b/​c I found Dr. Hema Patel who is really outstanding. She has a gentle touch and wonderful interpersonal skills. She always tells me what she’s going to do before she does it. She is highly skilled and very knowledgeable. After my first check-​up and cleaning, I went back for some fillings/​bondings. Dr. Patel did such a perfect match that I couldn’t tell which tooth had the bonding and which was natural. Her office called after the visit to ask how I was doing and I said, «It does not feel like I was at the dentist today.» If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would. If you are looking for a dentist, look no further.

Dr. Patel is an outstanding dentist. Being a dental chicken, I am always anxious about going to the dentist. Dr. Patel and her staff were very kind and understanding to the point where I felt comfortable.
I highly recommend her as a dentist.

Dr. Patel has been treating my family for a few years now, and her and her staff are wonderful. She is ALWAYS there when I need her, or to answer any of my questions. Most times I often speak to her directly and she returns my calls promptly. She was able to assist me just recently VERY quickly. I am pregnant and had a bad infection, she got me on meds quickly to clear it up and the same week got me in for an extraction of the tooth, and I am happy to say my baby and I are doing just fine. She is a GREAT dentist, you are missing out if you do not go to her. :-) Thank you Dr. Patel and staff!
