I had my first appointment with Dr. Patil yesterday, and it was the best dental experience I've ever had in my entire life. I'm a partially disabled combat veteran who suffers from both anxiety and PTSD and Dr. Patil and her entire staff are so incredibly friendly and attentive that all of the dread and anxiety that I was feeling just dissipated with their gentle and effective care. From the helpful and friendly people at the front desk to her lovely assistants to her informative, kind, and gentle nature, I really feel like I lucked out and found the best dentist ever! =) She called me a few days before my initial appointment to ease some of my concerns and talk about how it would go, she called right after my appointment to make sure everything went well, and I have never felt so incredibly happy with the level of friendly service anywhere. If I could give ten stars, I would. The exam itself went well and her assistants did a wonderful job too! I brought my girlfriend along and they were super friendly to her too, letting her sit in the exam room with me to alleviate some of my tension and anxiety. I don't think I'm ever going to go to anybody else ever again, regardless of where I live! It honestly was that comfortable. I know I'm not the only one who's sort of nervous and anxious about dentistry, and for others who feel that way, there is literally nowhere better that you can go than to Dr. Patil's office. The assistant that I had (Catherine, but I'm not sure if she spells it with a C or a K!) was super friendly and patient even though I was having a terribly difficult time with some of the X-rays for the back teeth, where it was difficult to keep the films in place long enough to get a clean X-ray. All in all, I've never felt more taken care of or more accommodated anywhere, and this former "anti-dentite" (for you Seinfeld fans!) can't wait to go back!! =)
