Patient Review 1:

When I first found out that I had to get my wisdom teeth removed, I was terrified. But the day I went in I didnt wait long in the waiting room so I didnt have much time to think about it. The procedure went very smoothly and it was pretty fast. I didnt realy feel a thing but exactly what Dr. Patel said I would feel. I'm glad that he was the one who did it.

Patient Review 2:

In recent months, Dr. Patel has done fillings for me that make my teeth healthier & prettier (since he removed the silver-colored stuff used when I was a kid --- BTW that old material had mercury in it --- yikes!) He's replaced it with a safe & strong, white, natural-looking substance that ends up blending in perfectly with my real teeth. I tell all my friends to have their old mercury fillings replaced, and to go to Dr. Patel for it. He happily answers questions before, during, and after procedures, to make you feel comfortable and confident the whole time. I'll never go to another dentist again.Thanks, Dr. Patel, for taking such good care of me.
Treatment Length with Dr. Patel: almost 3 years.

Patient Review 3:

I am the biggest chicken when it comes to any kind of dental work to be done in my mouth. I really, really dread my visits to the dentist. Dr. Patel may have cured this anxiety for me! WOW, what an expeience my last visit was. I had to have a crown replaced (UGH!!) and he told me about the CEREC procedure. I still had that nervous dread but Dr. Patel's great bedside manner at once put me at ease. And Boy did he sure know his way around the whole software and procedure. I could actually watch him on the computer screen outlining what was to be my crown! That was quite impressive! And quick! Once th crown was done he popped it in no problem no pain no worries. Dr. Patel is definitely no ka oi in my book BIG MAHALO from the BIG EX-CHICKEN!
About Hygienist: The whole office staff and hygenists are very professional in thier own right. They greet you with warm smiles and I always feel like family even when my teeth are getting cleaned. Even paying is painless! Great staff all the way around!
Treatment Length with Dr. Patel: 1 year.

Patient Review 5:

I was able to make an appointment within 48 hours and when I arrived to the appointment time I did not have to wait more then 10 minutes be seen by him, Once I filled the paper work he was ready to make the x rays and a few minutes later I was told all the different options I had for my dental health care. I was surprinced to find out he could make the dental crowns I needed in a half an hour instead of having to wait the usual one weeks to have the crowns done. He was able to have my crowns in in one hour after I arrived to the clinic. The Crowns fit great, they look wonderful and I feel a lot better then when I arrived to his office. He did not fool to much with the crowns to make them fit with the other teeth. I have seen at least 20 dentists around and I can say he is the fastest, and best quelified dentist I have ever seen in my life.thanks Dr. Patel, you are the best.

Patient Review 6:

Dr. Patel is an excellent doctor - a real master of the science and art of dentistry. His expertise is matched by his humanitarianism. A rare combination of intelligence, kindness and strong-calm-quiet-confidence puts one at ease even in the face of extreme dental fear. Brilliant with body language, he reads and responds quickly (even to micro-expressions) - stopping, communicating and relieving pain as needed. He is thorough, has an integral approach and achieves personalized homeostasis with a keen sense of balance and symmetry. His office is equipped with all modern technology and a skilled, friendly and helpful staff. They educate - showing x-rays on the computer screen while explaining the conditions and procedures. His exceptional staff pays close attention to needs including urgent appointments, scheduling, accounting and most of all they are hospitable. Their whole office is a very soothing, clean and comfortable atmosphere with candles and aesthetic decor. They have music, mobiles, comfortable ergonomic chairs and they even put a cozy blanket on me. Dr. Patel loves his work and it shows as he creates truly great smiles.
About Hygienist: Sue is gentle, thorough and professional and educational.

Patient Review 7:

Wow!, if you are looking for a dentist office with a professional and caring staff then this is it! The best thing about this office is the service that everyone provides, from the receptionist to the hygienist to Dr. Patel's assistant, this office staff made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked into their friendly environment! This is easy to believe when you have your first visit with Dr. Patel himself who is by far the most gentle and intelligent dentist that I have been to! I feel at ease during my appointments because it is evident that Dr. Patel takes pride in his work and therefore succeeds in making every effort to fix my dental problems with no hassles or excuses. My old teeth had unsightly fillings, after one visit, I could already see the beautiful results. Other dentists' wanted me to make 3 to 4 appointments for the work that Dr. Patel did in 1. I can't say enough about how great my experience has been since first visiting his office last month. The staff was very informative and even took the time to process my insurance claim, although it wasn't within their network! My husband and I will definitely recommend him to all our friends and families. Thanks Dr. Patel.. Fati & Mat Y.

Patient Review 8:

Dr. Patel was very professional and very helpful. He inspired nothing but confidence when I had a MASSIVE amount of work done. I had not been to a dentist in a long while. He was very welcoming and assisted me in the best course of action for my treatment recommending the more robust solutions but also letting me know my options.
About Hygienist: Hygienists are very friendly and helpful. They make it comfortable and try are not to rough with your mouth cleaning. The receptionist has been incredibly helpful so far with insurance problems. Our insurance has been a major problem but they have been standing by us not making us feel like the bad guys at all when they havent even gotten paid what the insurance company said yet.
Treatment Length with Dr. Patel: 3 Months.

Patient Review 10:

After 2 emergency crown visits, 1 general cleaning and 1 deep cleaning, I am absolutely convinced that Dr. Patel and his staff are truly outstanding, caring professionals. I certainly appreciated Dr. Patel fitting me into his schedule (same day) for both of my emergency calls to his office. Everyone, especially Dr. Patel, made a fearful dental phobic, like myself, a believer that dental work can be completed with a minimum amount of pain. I am in awe at Dr. Patel's high tech equipment, his compassionate approach and his expertise in dentistry. Yes, I am so delighted with the wonderful results of my cerec porcelain crowns. What is truly amazing is that the entire process to crown a tooth takes just 1 visit. If you're anxious and fearful about going to the dentist, you must see Dr. Patel. Mahalo Dr. Patel, Fran, and Kayla, for your gentleness and fine work. Heather and Lei, mahalo in scheduling my visits and assisting me with the financial details. You are all sincerely appreciated!!
About Hygienist: Kayla was so wonderful in putting me at ease throughout my cleaning sessions. Like Dr. Patel, Kayla explained everything and my questions were answered in such a caring manner.
Treatment Length with Dr. Patel: 3 weeks.

Excellent, thank you. Saw me quickly for emergency, gave me very good treatment for two crowns. Minimum of pain, and I paid half of what I thought I would pay. Crowns made in office same day installation. Very high tech machinery. Easy to talk to, not scary, very helpful. Best dentist that I've went to. If you're in pain, he can fix your teeth. I was giving him all 4 stars in the rating, but the computer would not accept that, so I gave him one less in facilities.

Patient Review 13:

I chose Dr. Patel because his office was across the street from my work and because I read positive reviews about his practice. My first filling I used his video goggles. I didn't feel any pain actually I ended up laughing at the movie that I was watching. About a year ago I bumped my front tooth causing a fracture and an abscess. Dr. Patel went to the pharmacy by my house on a Friday night at 10 pm to get me a prescription for the pain. He extracted it and made sure I felt totally comfortable during the procedure. During the process of making my bridge he answered my many questions via email. I always felt he was honest with his answers and he always explained the advantages and disadvantages of my options. When I got my bridge, he made sure that I was completely happy with the color and that the bridge didn't affect my pronunciation -which was very important for me because I teach pronunciation. My boyfriend commented that loosing my tooth was a blessing in disguise because I ended up with a prettier smile than I had before. My family was amazed at the realistic appearance of the teeth. I was so worried about loosing my tooth but in the end Dr. Patel gave me very positive results, definitely something I can smile proudly about!
About Hygienist: Both Kayla and Fran, the hygienists at his office are very friendly, gentle, thorough and left my teeth feeling clean. They have even gave me tips on to keep my teeth cleaner. Also, I want to mention Heather, the Admin Coordinator. She helped me through the process of getting my bridge in so many ways -helping me figure out how to finance it and ensuring that I got the best possible result. She will help you figure the best payment plan when insurance doesn't cover you. Beyond that, she makes you feel like family.

This is a great dental office that makes you feel comfortable in everything they do. They have the best staff and they treat you like you are a family member. All of the staff are very knowledgeable and all go the extra mile to make feel at home.The experience was by far the best I have ever had. I highly recommend this dental office, and I am already looking forward to my next appointment. This office has all the new cutting edge technology to get the job done. I have been to many offices on the Island and this one hands down is the best. Thanks for a great experience.

I learned about the dental genius; Dr Patel, from a good friend of mine so I thought I'll give him a try after many terrifying ordeals with dentists in my local area in San Francisco. I flew to Honolulu to see him for treatment. Unlike other dentists, He didn't go after my 4 wisdom teeth. I got five filings and cleaning done in one visit. That alone deserves praise. The staff are very professional and fun to be around. Dr Patel's practice is very much like being in someone home with lots of natural light, sweeping city and ocean views, and warm furnishings to make you feel at ease. He will ensure that your procedure is painless and of the highest quality in the fastest possible time. The best part is that he does as much dental work in one visit so you don't have to keep going back. Dr Patel is a very nice and caring guy definitely worth traveling a thousand miles for from US Mainland.

We are new to the island and chose Dr. Patel for our dental needs based on reviews from this site. This morning we both had our routine cleaning, bite-wing xrays and exams. The staff is both pleasant and professional. The exam is thorough and Dr. Patel is a sweetheart (I can say this because I am old and been married for 40 years). We have received dental care in many different geographic locations, this experience ranks at the top. If you need a dental team to care for your needs we both highly recommend Dr. Patel's office.Although our dental insurance is a new one to this group, they cheerfully offered to file the claims for us.
About Hygienist: Our cleanings were done by Kayla. She is a delight. First came bite wing xrays using the most up to date equipment - results are displayed on a computer screen immediately versus the need to develop films. The cleaning began with an electronic cavitron followed by use of the traditional dental picks. Gums are examined carefully and potential pockets are measured. Last came the polishing with dental paste followed by flossing. Kayla's technique results in a clean happy mouth. When you make your appointment you may want to ask for Kayla!

Patient Review 19:

I recently started a treatment plan with Dr. Patel. In my first procedure I had had a tooth extracted and prosthetic tooth made for me. (Oct. 6, 2009) ($620) The extraction had my thinking the worse as far as pain goes, but Dr. Patel took it out with ease. Beside the intial slight pinch for anesthetic and some pressure it was completely pain free and quick. The prosthetic fits perfectly. I will be getting an implant placed in the future and will update on the success of the procedure. My second procedure was to have three root canals done and fillings placed. (November 10, 2009) ($765) Once again beside the slight pinch from anesthetic the procedure was pain free and only took 45 mins. I highly recommend Dr. Patel. His office is great and overlooks the ocean. The service is wonderful, and the cost is not exorbitant. The only negative I can see is that the are no weekend office hours. This doesn't affect me, but I know some people would like Saturday appointments.
About Hygienist: Kayla was wonderful. It was the end of the day, but she did not rush my cleaning. She is awesome at telling me what I need to do to keep my teeth clean without sounding preachy. Her kind and friendly personality definitely shines through in her work.
Treatment Length with Dr. Patel: 4 months.

As a brand new Dr. Patel patient, I must say I was impressed with not only the location of his office (centrally located & very convenient, not to mention the glorious view)- but more so, his welcoming front-desk staff to the dental assistant and ofcourse Dr. Patel himself. His professionalism, expertise, and kind demeanor were truly commendable. I had a Cerec crown put in by Dr. Patel, which was a fairly quick and no fuss procedure. Also, a couple of dental fillings were done. All in a short amount of time as well.I would highly recommend Dr. Patel and his staff to anyone in or around the Honololu area, for excellent cosmetic, or all around general dentistry work.

Once again, I marvel at and appreciate Dr. Patel's artistic expertise in dealing with teeth that other dentists would not have been able to handle. He is so unperturbedly skillful and precise at his craft that I enjoy watching him work on my mouth (with a mirror), even though I'm not a dentist and don't understand all of it. But he patiently talks me through each step of a procedure in his reassuring and confident tone, making a root canal seem as interesting as a treasure hunt, and as easy as signing your name. He uses state-of-the-art equipment, such as the machine that makes perfect crowns in the office, in a matter of minutes, and he clearly has excellent mastery of the technical aspects of both the software and hardware. He also obviously stays up-to-date on the least-invasive and most-comfortable dental techniques, keeping the patient's total health in mind at all times. His kindness and desire to alleviate suffering have not diminished over time, and he takes tremendous pride in knowing he has improved the physical and thus the emotional well-being, of his patients. I trust his judgment, his skill, and his fairness.

Patient Review 22:

Wow, where do i start? i had broken, missing and decayed teeth that were left. Yes, i never smiled to keep it all hidden for years. I went to a lot of dentist on the mainland, but hated every monent of it. I had root canals, extractions, bonding, you name it done. and it was all painful and yes, it all eventually broke off or fell out and i just quit trying. I went to one dentist in Hawaii to see what could be done, but the visit was very dry and the facilities and employees were ok at best. Correct, i never went back.Then i found Dr. Patel. I scanned the internet for hours and something just seemed right for me and my needs. Jackpot, i hit a 777 winner. From the first visit i was sold. I had finally found the place for me. The Facilities and in-house equipment are first rate. The staff was wonderful. I hate to single out just one, but Heather the (hygienist) was great. Usually, i never went back after the first visit. But then i met Dr. Patel. He was straight forward and assured me that it is never to late or to much to do. Scheduled me in and did all in-house work in a couple of trips, that would normally take 8-10 visits from my past experience. I cannot help but like this guy. He keeps you informed of every move and action.
About Hygienist: Sorry, as mentioned prior, Heather was my inspiration. Even though i am a big guy my gums and teeth are very sensitive. She was the best ever at cleaning and very caring to my needs. I am probaly the biggest baby she ever worked on and i loved every minute of it. I finally found the best after traveling 5k miles from Texas,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Dr. Patel is a very gentle and compassionate dentist. He tries extremely hard to make it a pain-free experience. I'm someone that truly dislikes going to the dentist, but Dr. Patel made it bearable for me - even through a 3 hour procedure. I will return again and again and hope he never relocates to the mainland. Thank you, Dr. Patel! You're great! AND so is your staff - they are wonderful.

I spent two years of avoiding the dentist after being told I needed to get my gums scaled and roots of my teeth planed. Sounds horrible, and I probably would not have went into Dr. Patels office until I read about sedation dentistry on his website. Upon showing up to his office on the day of the procedure the staff and Dr. Patel make me feel very relaxed. After spending about a hour in the dentist chair I wondered why I was so scared. Dr. Patel did a great job and the hour went by before I knew it. Sedative dentistry allowed me to have the dental procedure done without the stress and anxiety I usually go through. Great job.

I have been a pt. of Dr. Patels for over 2 years and I must say being a part of his practice is an honnor. He does excellent quality work and I love his staff. Heather is amazing, she helped me through the whole process of getting my Veeners and even though it's been over a year since I have had them she still calls and checks on me to see how I am doing. She also goes above and beyond for patients; once I was in the waiting room and she was checking out another patient who was being very difficult, I couldn't believe how well she handled herself, and went out of her way to please the patient even though the paitent was being difficult and rude. It takes someone special to be in that position. Heather you are a classy caring person and in todays society, dealing with a person with as much class and compassion as you have is like finding a needle in a hay stack. Thank ypu Dr. Patel for all the great work you have done for me. I highly recommend this dental office.

A special "thank you" to Dr. Patel and staff! After experiencing a fracture to my tooth, and much pain...Dr. Patel to the rescue. He was able to accommodate me that very morning, and tended to the tooth with care. I was impressed that the situation was able to be remedied in one office visit. This was due to efficiency of Dr. Patel and his clearly experienced assistant Fran, and the availibility of the latest in dental technology. My tooth is better than it was before! I am SMILING with recommendations!
About Hygienist: Fran is truly an asset to the dental office of Dr. Patel in so many ways. She clearly reflects professionalism with her experience, efficiency, knowledge, and upbeat personality. My fear of dental work is a thing of the past. Thanks, Fran...your are the BEST!

Dr Patel and his staff are a cut above the rest. Do you want a fantastic experience or to find someone who might know about teeth? If you said you were interested in finding an experience, then this should be your dentist. It is apparent, that the warm and considerate personality and authenticity of Dr. Patel shines through each and every one of his incredible staff. Heather, charming east-coast women handles the appointments and calls. She is wonderful and truly cares about the patients. The office is perfectly located and has the best view of the ocean. Dr. Patels practice is cutting edge with the latest technology to make your visit easier than in the past. After have a crown and crown repair done at this office, I can say I would not consider going any where else. I am not fond of a visit to any doctor, but this office made my experience much better.

All I have to say is WOW!! I've had the best experience ever with Dr. Patel, he is by far the friendliest, painless dentist I've ever had and I've been through a lot! I actually fell asleep during a root canal! I swear it's true...I've never done this before especially for a root canal!! Dr. Patel is the most patient dentist and a perfectionist, he makes you feel like you are his main concern when it comes to the care of your teeth and his finished work is excellent! From the moment you walk into his calm, relaxing, beautiful office his wonderful friendly staff greets you with a smile which makes you feel like you've known them all your life! I will be telling everyone who is searching for the "BEST" dentist to look no more because Dr. Patel is the dentist you will want to see for all your dental needs.
About Hygienist: Heather, Rachelle and Fran who all assist Dr. Patel are the best ever! Heather was very helpful with my insurance and was able to save me alot of money and headaches when dealing with my insurance coverage. My thanks to all of you and much aloha too!

Dr. Patel took over the practice of my previous dentist and the transition was very smooth. Both my wife and I are patients and we appreciate Dr. Patel's professionalism, thoroughness and complete explanations. The staff is equally solicitous. My last procedure was painless, there's a great view of the ocean, and I was given a very nice toothbrush for a gift. So it was a very pleasant experience. Aloha, Robert

Dr. Ron is great. He is friendly, yet professional; answers all questions and never makes you feel like he's rushed to get on to the next patient. The care and trement plans he sets out are clear and easily understood and ensures that he is truly concerned about your dental health. I would highly recommend him, and his staff, to anyone.
About Hygienist: Fran is the greatest. She is extremely careful of my sensitve teeth and makes sure that I am comfortable and relaxed.

Patient Review 35:

I've had 3 visits with Dr. Patel so far and I must say I am extremely happy that I had found him. I have a complete fear of visiting the dentist so much that I became extremely picky and cautious resulting in changing dentist whenever I can think of a reason to.I must say Dr. Patel is not only professional and knowledgeable, he is calming, caring and understanding of what I feel. During my four fillings this past visit, he made sure I was okay with every step. I was wearing the movie glasses and I must say was 99% distracted. My whole visit took less than 1 hour!!! My co-workers knew of my fear and asked me the next day how it went. They can all tell that I was very satisfied with the visit from the way I was raving about it.The only negative thing I would have to say is that it was difficult to pay upfront at the time of the visit though they do send you an estimate before that day.But all in all, it was worth it! Now if I can gain enough courage to return for my major dental work...
About Hygienist: Fran was excellent with my cleaning. She will be my 3rd hygienist in Hawaii and must say by far the best. My past 2 hygienist was borderline rude - watching television while cleaning, making rude comments about how I care for my teeth, etc...Fran explained every procedure and made suggestions on how I can care my teeth. She's the best!

It was one day before christmas and my mouth was very swollen and I was in great pain. I did not have an appointment but Dr Patel found time to see me. I was very scared, he calmed me down. The treatment was almost painless. The office is very clean and professional. He explained everything to me so that I would understand what was going on. I was very impressed. I will be recommending him to all my friends.

Patient Review 38:

Dr. Patel took over the practice of my former dentist when she moved away. She'd already warned him what a challenging patient I am.Having had a series of horrifying dental experiences in my early life (for instance, having been given blood poisoning by a dentist in the 1970s), I'm petrified - PETRIFIED - of all dentists. And yet, Dr. Patel has been extraordinary. For instance, when I woke up one Saturday morning with a gum infection and had to catch a plane in 4 hours. He cheerfully and kindly came in to his office on his day off to help me (even though it meant putting his young son in day care for a while to help me).And because he knows how frightening it is for me to visit his office, he does my periodic cleanings himself. (One less person for me to cry in front of.)They just don't come any better than Dr. Patel.(Your form doesn't give an opportunity to check 'I don't know' or 'does not apply.' That would be helpful. For instance, since I don't go to other dentists, I really don't know if Dr. Patel is cheaper or more expensive than the competition. And how could I possibly say, under the circumstances, that a visit is pain-free and relaxing? )

Patient Review 40:

I had 4 fillings put in. I rarely visit dentists because I have horrible experiences. This visit was unavoidable because I had a bad cavity. Dr. Patel was very reassuring and made me feel very comfortable. The procedures went well. The numbing took longer than anticipated to ware off. The cost was I was quoted was much lower than my previous dentist quoted me. The only downfall is that you do have to pay in full the day of the procedure. While I was having my teeth done I was able to watch a movie which was a great distraction. Dr. Patel uses a lot of new technology which is great to know he keeps up to date with what's out there.

Patient Review 41:

Dr. Rohinton Patel is a rare gem, with the steady hand of an experienced dentist & the artistic eye of a sculptor. His concern is not only for patients' oral health, but also for their psychological well-being, so he takes care of how patients look as well as feel. He uses the least-invasive, safe, state-of-the-art, cool dental gadgets, methods, & materials. Then he adds his artistic finishing touches to shape & complete the aesthetic to meet his own high standards & to satisfy each patient.For major procedures, he uses a topical gel that numbs before a longer-lasting anesthetic, to make for a virtually painless trip to the dentist. On my first visit for a cleaning, I broke a tooth that morning. He repaired, protected, & saved the tooth, then made a perfect temporary crown that looked better than the original - all in an unrushed, yet emergency mode, while caring for other patients & not falling behind - testament to how efficiently he & his staff work, making each patient feel important --- indeed recognizing that each patient IS important. Dr. Rohinton Patel has a remarkable level of dentistry and a smart, compassionate bedside manner. I consider myself lucky to be one of his patients.

After spending over 6 years in Hawaii and going from dentists to dentists, I finally had the chance to meet Dr. Patel in mid-June 2008.I was told by a good friend of mine of his service. After my first visit, I had the chance to experience his world class service. Yes, I said world class service because I'm originaly from Cameroon in Central Africa and I'm use to dentists.What makes Dr. Patel service peculiar is : first a great customer service. The lady up front will received you with a great smile giving you the confidence in the job perform there. Second, the environment is a pleasant first class office. Extremely neat and well kept. Third, the service is extremely fast. I never spend more than 5 minutes in the waiting room. I'm at my fifth visit and I always get a good service from his office. And finally, Dr. Patel himself. May God bless you Sir. I never received such a great, lovely and genuine service as yours before. With a smile and calm in his face, he welcomed me every time I step inside his operation room. Dr. Patel is one of the kind in his profession, a man who love his job and mostly who feel his patient pain. Thus allowing him to do his job from his heart.Mahalo to Hawaii Pacific Dental Group staff.Girard

Dr. Patel and his staff put you at ease the minute you walk in the door. They are very professional, explain everything and have nothing but YOUR best interest at heart. I am a very sensitive patient and everyone listened to me and respected my problem. His staff is very professional and very nice people. Dr. Patel is very efficient and has completed all of my procedures in less time than I expected.I would HIGHLY recommend him for any one who needs a dentist, has had a bad experience with a dentist in the past and will bring your dental health up to date.And he is a GREAT person! He is the type of man you would like to call a friend.

I've had really bad experiences with dentists that I have gone to in the past, but ever since I got my dental work done at Dr. Patel's office, I feel a lot more comfortable. I've gotten root canals done before, but surprisingly it was painless. Everyone was really nice to me and went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. The movie glasses were pretty cool and took my mind off the dental work. I would recommend going to this office if you want to have a great experience!!!

Patient Review 46:

I had some bad experiences at my last dentist so I looked on this website for a good dentist in my area and found this review of Dr. Patel so made an appointment. He gave me a thorough explanation letting me know what it was exactly that he found and what I needed to get work done on first. So I came back for my fillings and had a great experience. He was very conscience at all times for my comfort as well as were his assistants. He did an excellent job of my fillings and didn't hesitate to give me additional root protectors even though it was not included in the quote for my fillings. I feel very comfortable that Dr. Patel cares about my teeth and gives me the best treatment possible. So I let my wife know about the good work that Dr. Patel does and am arranging for her also to get her dental work done by Dr. Patel and would highly recommend Dr. Patel as an honest and trustworthy dentist

Mahalo Nui Loa Dr. Patel for a great "PAIN-FREE" root canal therapy that was much needed after it was determined that tooth #12 was infected. I had been in pain for 2 days before I decided to see Dr. Patel and when I finally called for an appointment, the office staff was so accomodating in getting me in as soon as possible. I am very impressed with Dr. Patel's professionalism as well as his caring staff that you feel like "ohana" as soon as you walk through the front door. Dr. Patel is the only Dentist I know of that explained every bit of the procedure as he worked on me ... that alone showed me how much of a caring person he truly is. Dr. Patel is not only a GREAT Dentist but he offers the best ocean views of Ala Moana & Waikiki that you don't need to watch a movie ... it is so mesmerzing! If you haven't been to Dr. Patel than you haven't been to Hawaii's #1 Dentist.

Dr. Patel is a wonderful blessing in my world! ! I was upset and in pain after a horrible experience with my previous dentist and called my sister to vent. She told me that she loved her dentist (Dr. Patel) and offered to call him. Dr. Patel personally spoke with me over the phone, asking my symptoms. At 5:00pm, he cheerfully offered to check out the painful tooth. I found out that I had to have a root canal and he immediately started working on the tooth and relieved my pain. My friends, I practically fell asleep in the chair while having a root canal! Between Dr. Patel's comforting voice making sure that I was not experiencing any pain and the device that keeps my mouth open for me, I didn't have to do anything. I am also very impressed with his modern technology. Wait until you see the x-ray equipment! Less radiation and better for us.DR. PATEL IS MY HERO!!!!!

Wow!!! This has been the absoulutly best dental expierience I have ever had. I wanted to get cosmetic veneers for a while but I could not find a dentist I felt comfortable with and that I would trust to do the best job. Dr. Patel has far exceded my expectations. My smile is so beautiful and I am so very pleased ,not only with Dr. Patel ,but also with his wonderful staff. Hawaii Pacific Dental has it right. This is the experience everyone should feel everytime they go to the dentist. Thank you Dr. Patel, you are one of a kind. My dentist search is over.

I have always hated visiting dentists. My family has weak enamel... no fun. But I have to admit, Dr. Patel changed my opinion. He was more thorough than any dentist I have ever been to. He examined my teeth, gums, jaw and even examined my neck. He was extremely gentile and caring. I truly felt as though I was the center of his attention and that he cared about me. I will return to him again and again.Thank you Dr. Patel!!!!!!!

I am SO glad I found Dr. Patel!! He is an awesome dentist!! He was very gentle with my teeth, so much that I was surprised nothing really even hurt when I had this elaborate dental procedure done last week!! He really took his time and made me feel very comfortable with everything and explained what he was doing so that my usual anxiety I have going to the dentist was quite minimal. Over the past year I have been on the search for A LOT of dentists and I am SO glad I finally found mine!! The ocean views are a definite bonus!! It's like being in a spa or something!
