Reviews

Dr. Patel was very thorough in explaining my dental evaluation. She took her time and did not rush anything and was very professional. I was very nervous about going to the dentist after having bad experiences in the past with other dental offices. The ladies here made me feel at ease & and comfortable. I’m looking forward to my next visit and recommend them to anyone.

Dr. Patel and the staff were excellent in their care, especially at this time. Great care was taken to ensure the lease possibility of COVID transmission - which I really appreciated!

As always, SUPERB experience!

I always feel confident stepping into Dr. Neela Patel's office. She has everything covered from A to Z. Her staff is super friendly and professional. Dr. Patel is patient, thorough, and knowledgable. It can be stressful going to the dentist though I always leave her office with a smile. I had a lovely relationship with my previous dentist. He retired about 8 years ago. After several failed attempts I've found someone who can fill his shoes. I highly recommend to anyone looking for someone you can trust. Look no further, Dr. Patel is the real deal.

I adore Shana my hygienist and the team is really welcoming. They took great safety precautions for COVID and it felt really safe.

Aug 21, 2020

I have been to many dentists in my life but never one like Dr. Patel. She literally took 2 hours to go over my x-rays and health and make sure I understood anything she said. I was very impressed.

Jul 5, 2020

I had a fantastic experience! Staff is very professional and expert in what they do. The sanitation and antimicrobial precautions at Houston Heights Dental is superior.

GREAT TEAM! Thanks to Dr. Neela Patel & her staff, I got THE best treatment for the crown that came out this week.

Jun 24, 2020

Great experience as always! There was a lot of communication prior to my visit to help me understand what to expect. The office has been modified to provide more safety measures for staff and patients. I felt well cared for and extremely safe throughout the whole process. Dr. Patel and her staff are top notch.

Jun 24, 2020

I was so impressed with the protocols Dr. Patel has implemented in light of COVID-19. She and her staff have gone above and beyond to protect both the patients and themselves. I felt safer there than I have in any other public interior space. Bravo!

Jun 23, 2020

Dr. Patel has been the best dentist I have ever had! Both her and her staff are kind and attentive and they make my visits comfortable and fun!

Neela Patel and her team at Houston Heights Dentistry are amazing professionals who truly care about you and our honest and transparent about your care and its costs. While Texas has now "reopened" I intend to continue to social distance. I trusted myself with Dr Patel because she is carefully following all the rules to keep her team and her patients safe during this unprecedented time.

Best Dentist Office in HOUSTON! Very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. Dr. Patel's entire staff make each visit a pleasure.

Mar 4, 2020

Dr. Neela Patel and her team made going to the dentist, something I have been avoiding for the past few years, pretty painless. Her team is wonderful, gentle and knowledgeable. Dr. Patel is very thorough and I feel more comfortable in her hands than I have in the past 30+ years. My dentist retired about 10 years ago and I haven't found my new dentist until now! Thank you Dr. Patel!

A PLEASANT VISIT I visited Dr. Neela Patel's office for the first time Nov 2019 for the military veteran's smile event. I was able to fill my paperwork out ahead of time with the help of the excellent receptionist to save time during the initial visit. As I entered the office I noticed the lobby was modern, warm & welcoming. Quickly, my initial evaluation was conducted with 3D panoramic high tech equipment and a friendly technician. After the evaluation, I was escorted back to the lobby and offered light refreshments as I enjoyed the joyful music. As I enjoyed my snacks , I noticed another patient that was obviously suffering from some anxiety due to a dental visit. I witnessed the receptionist come from behind the desk to comfort the patient both verbally and physically. As I observed tears subside , pacing reduce and peace fill the room , I was nothing short of impressed with how the office staff when above and beyond to comfort patients. I met Dr. Patel during my procedure and her bubbly personality was delightful ! Another technician finished the job and answered all of my question regarding preventive maintenance and dental care. As I was leaving , I was given a "to go" bag with recommended products to continue my dental health journey. I was reminded that my teeth will be the last identifiable part of my body and how long they last is a direct reflection of my involvement of care. Although it was only my first visit, it felt as if I was visiting a friend to do homework at their home. THANK YOU Dr. Patel and the wonderful support staff! I HIGHLY RECCOMEND THIS OFFICE TO ALL SEEKING DENTAL CARE :)

Dec 21, 2019

I was very pleased with everyone at Houston Heights dentistry, I am the biggest baby about seeing a dentist, but the staff put me at ease and they explained every thing in detail. I will be going back for further work, thank you Dr. Patel and Staff!

Nov 22, 2019

This was my first visit and I fell in love with Dr. Patel and her staff. They are all very knowledgeable and caring. I first felt that from when I called and made my appointment with Ms. Phyllis . Her assistant that helped me with my x-rays and pictures was exceptional in handling me and taking care of me. I really hate going to the dentist but now I feel a lot better!.

Nov 19, 2019

First of all I would like to thank the whole staff for taking time from their schedule to work on us. I felt very comfortable and the staff made sure that I was because I'm sure they could tell I was a bit nervous. I'm very satisfied with the work that was done on me. It wasn't like: I sit, get worked on, hand shake, and next!! The doctor and assistant took the time to conversate with me which also helped me calm down. Great work. Thank you all ever so much. Semper Fidelis.

Nov 12, 2019

Awesome staff and office. They are truly the best dentist office I have ever visited in my 49 years of living.

Nov 1, 2019

Wonderful staff & Excellent Doctor.

Nov 1, 2019

Dr. Patel is amazing! She is so thorough in her examinations and truly cares about each patient. The staff is very friendly and so sweet!

Sep 18, 2019

Dr. Patel and staff are truly wonderful, both caring and competent. I felt very much at ease during my first visit, everyone was very personable. A treatment plan was mapped out and coordinated with my insurance before I left and I feel confident that it will be well executed. Everyone - Dr. Patel, the hygienists, the billing coordinator, and the receptionist are very good at their jobs and I feel that they will take good care of me.

Sep 12, 2019

Dr. Patel has incredible bedside manner and it shows in her staff who are equally as comforting and professional. I am so happy I changed dentists!

Sep 7, 2019

I love going to this office because the staff and Dr. Patel are very personable. I never have to wait to be seen. Your appointment time is your time. I can count on being in and out in less than an hour for my teeth cleaning.

Sep 5, 2019

Excellent dental care! The entire staff is professional and so kind and welcoming. Thanks for a great dental experience .

Jul 3, 2019

Have been with Dr Patel for many years and have been a happy patient. My son had a freak accident late one night that injured his mouth and front teeth. I called dr Patel’s business line expecting to leave a message. To my surprise Dr. Patel answered the phone told us what to do, until we could get there 1st thing in the morning. All me experiences have been great. She is a wonderful dentist who is very caring.

Jun 4, 2019

I had my first visit with the team at HHD today, and I was blown away with how great Neela and her team are! Much like everyone else, I have major anxiety visiting the dentist, but everyone there made me feel calm and comfortable. I chipped a large chunk of my front tooth off this weekend, and like magic, they took care of me in no time and you can not even tell that half of my tooth was missing! I am so happy to have visited today!! I highly recommend Neela and her team!

May 7, 2019

This staff is amazing... awesome group of individuals. Only dentist I've gone to since high school.

May 5, 2019

Dr. Neela and her team go above and beyond to get the results you want!

Nov 30, 2018

Everyone was extremely nice and my appointment was very interactive, they use the latest technology and equipment to catch problems early. I went in for my first appointment and I was taken care of quickly and effectively. I know my teeth are in the right hands! Thank you Dr. Patel!

Oct 26, 2018

I had a very pleasing experience with Dr. Patel and all of the staff members. They accommodated my experience in every way possible, were very knowledgeable, and took time and care with my cleaning and checkup.

Sep 26, 2018

I have been going to Dr. Patel for 5 years and have always received great service!

Sep 14, 2018

" Five stars for every aspect of this practice. Dr. Neela Patel & her staff truly care about their patients. "

Sep 13, 2018

Hi, Dental hygienist was very friendly and cleaned my teeth well, but she could have been a little more careful flossing around my veneers. Otherwise no complaints.

Aug 15, 2018

I enjoyed my visit. I had not been to see a dentist is many years. They have options to improve one's smile or just maintain a healthy mouth. It was refreshing to know my financial obligations during the visit, there were no surprises. I will be referring others. The staff is very friendly and informative.. Thanks for a wonderful experience!!

Jun 22, 2018

Dr Patel is the best, most caring dentist you will find!!

Jun 15, 2018

Every experience is pleasant and enjoyable thanks to Dr Patel and the entire team. The amount of TLC demonstrated before during and after each visit is priceless! The work plans provided are custom made to our budget and help make sure we handle time sensitive work in the order it is needed. I love love love Dr Patel and Team. Dental work sucks donkey balls but having great people around make it so much more bearable. Ohhhh not to mention educational information at time if cleanings are Awesome!!! Who knew I had been brushing wrong my whole life! Now I can teach my baby right!

Apr 24, 2018

Dr. Patel is a well trained dentist who has availed to her patients state of the art technology that greatly enhances her ability to render the very best dental service. The staff is very professional and courteous. I have had painless extractions and fillings done here, as well as my dental maintenance. I highly recommend her.

Mar 22, 2018

Dr. Patel is the best dentist that I have been to. I have pretty bad anxiety about going to the dentist, but Dr. Patel and her staff are great and maintain a very calming environment. Also, Dr. Patel and her staff go to great lengths to manage my level of comfort when cleaning my teeth, which is greatly appreciated. In addition to all of that, I feel ashamed of my teeth. I do not smile and don’t like people looking at my teeth. Many years of abuse and neglect have left my teeth looking horrible. Dr. Patel and her staff treat me no different than anyone else and I feel much better about getting help.

Mar 21, 2018

Another great experience!

Dec 19, 2017

The office, staff, and work preformed was clean and professional, however it felt like they were pushing for me to buy things I didn't need or want. The entire visit felt like a dental commercial trying to sell me stuff.

Dec 19, 2017

I am in love love love with the entire staff and the service! Detailed, Friendly, worked with my my entire family and walked me through our treatment plan to get our chompers back together!

Oct 17, 2017

Dr Patel provides the most excellent “total” dental care I ever experienced and highly recommend their talented and professional services.

Oct 13, 2017

I appreciate the time spent with us and the good exam. Everyone was very professional and caring.

Sep 28, 2017

Dr. Patel and the entire staff are absolutely THE BEST!. I have gone to Dr. Patel for over 10 years and would never consider changing. Excellent experience every time I go.

Aug 15, 2017

I am so well taken care of with Dr. Patel and her staff

Aug 11, 2017

Great first visit. They have the friendliest office I've come across, helpful, informative and cheerful. Professionalism and candor much appreciated.

Jul 14, 2017

Dr. Patel's office and staff are very welcoming and professional; patient's comfort seems high priority here. I feel confident knowing that Dr. Patel has been in practice for 18 years.

Jul 14, 2017

Great staff, very caring and cautious. Love the atmosphere.

Jun 30, 2017

no dentist has ever spend this long looking at my teeth and talking to me about dental care. I appreciated the time spent making sure I keep my great smile! The entire staff was friendly.

Jun 22, 2017

Great experience! Entire team from top to bottom is professional and personable. They made me feel that I was more than just a patient they had to service.

May 12, 2017

Dr. Neela Patel's staff were friendly and welcoming. They had my information prepared and quickly on-boarded me into the system. During the check-up, the hygienist was thorough and explained ways I could improve my dental hygiene in a helpful, non-judgmental manner. She was friendly and made sure I was comfortable throughout my cleaning. Last, Dr. Neela Patel spent time explaining my treatment options and her recommendations. It was no surprise she, like her staff, was kind and thorough. After my experience, I feel much more confident about my oral hygiene and look forward to my next visit.

Apr 7, 2017

First off, I must admit this review is biased, since my last dental appointment was wonderful because I didn't have any new cavities, nor did I have to repair old work. This is rare for me, and given my anxiety with dentists, it left me in a great mood. But I love Dr. Patel because she is very understanding about my anxiety and takes the time to explain things to me and comfort me if I am freaked out. The office staff is very nice and professional and does not try to upcharge me. For instance, I use prescription toothpaste with tons of fluoride, and when I mentioned that, they told me that we did not need to proceed with the fluoride varnish. I generally think the more the better given my teeth, but they knew better and are not just trying to get money. I really appreciate that.

Mar 31, 2017

If you're in need of a dental office home, look no further! Dr. Patel and staff are absolutely wonderful! I actually look forward to coming in and seeing Melinda for my hygiene appointments. She is extremely professional and friendly. They always have a way of making you feel "at ease" at Texas Center for Dental Excellence. Dr. Patel is very thorough in explaining every detail which is so nice. Also, the front desk ladies couldn't be any more helpful or nicer. I highly recommend this office!

Mar 9, 2017

I'm new to Houston and recently visited Dr. Patel as a new patient. It was the most thorough dental appointment I have ever had. :) I felt very well cared for and would recommend this practice to everyone. The entire staff was kind and friendly, and I know I am in good hands with Dr. Patel.

Feb 7, 2017

Dr Patel and her staff are wonderful. They do great work while explaining what and why thoroughly. She even called yesterday evening to make sure I was doing ok after routine filling. You will not be disappointed at TCDE.

Feb 7, 2017

Staff very courteous made my first visit a very good experience .

Dec 12, 2016

The waiting room was beautifully decorated and felt cozy and warm. It instantly helped me feel comfortable and welcome. The front office personnel were very nice and friendly. Melinda was kind and gentle, completed a thorough dental history, and was very personable. She provided me with information to better care for my dental health. Dr. Patel was also very kind, and explained what needed to be worked on soon, and in the future. She has an excellent "bedside manner". Both Melinda and Dr. Patel provided me with an excellent dental care plan. Historically, I have never looked forward to going to the dentist and have had much anxiety prior to, and during, my visits. However, I look forward to going back to Texas Center of Dental Excellence to have my dental work completed because everyone who works there helped me feel welcome and relaxed during my visit. Their team approach to my dental care made me feel so much better about my future visits.

Nov 26, 2016

Excellent service. Everyone is so friendly; makes you feel welcome.

Oct 11, 2016

I have never enjoyed the dentist as much as I do now with this office! Everyone is so polite and kind! You answer every question that I have and make me feel at home! Thank you all for being so great and making my visits so pleasant!

Jun 15, 2016

Luv the attention received as soon as I walked in the door... Mrs. Melinda was very nice and courteous and attentive as she explained what was going on with my teeth and was needed to be done to better help my teeth get better... Dr. Patel was very professional and well explained as of what were my options to start treatment.... Can't with for the outcome...

Jun 7, 2016

I've never been to a dentist that takes such time and care to make me feel like a person rather than just another patient. Melinda is fantastic and has a great way of making you feel comfortable and apprised of what is happening. Dr. Patel is extremely thorough in explaining what is needed and coming up with a treatment plan that is feasible. Janelle, Phyllis and the entire office staff are extremely friendly, attentive, professional...and HAPPY! You practically don't want to leave.

Jun 3, 2016

Dr. Patel took the time to see me in between patients due to an emergency that i had and like always she was very professional and thorough.

Thank you for the best dental experience I've ever had, and that's saying a lot. I've had wonderful dental care in my lifetime. Two of my cousins were dentists! Thank you again, it was a pleasure meeting everyone involved with my care.

Mar 30, 2016

The best dental office in Houston!

Mar 24, 2016

I really enjoy this office. The only compliant is they always see me later than my appointment time. Like 15-20 minutes late. I have a pretty tight scheduled so every minute counts.

Feb 26, 2016

Dr. Neela Patel identified and fixed all of my issues to the point of research and recommendations, she takes the time to explain every procedure she is going thorough and when explaining the process she is professional and has a naturally lovely personality. No pain or issues with my extractions, fillings, crown, etc. In my opinion she went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure I understood what I should do with my teeth/mouth health so I do not have future health risks. I would recommend Dr. Patel to everyone. She is the best dentist I have ever had. I never thought I would say I loved a Dental Experience, but, I did. Dominique

Feb 25, 2016

To Dr.Patel and Staff, I Pleasant Adams wish to say Thank you for the excellent care you have given at the time of emergency. You didn't decline me at first meeting me, I was in severe pain., your Staff took the time to share and explained all parts of financial goals, including a referral to Dental Insurance. A Warm and Professional atmosphere. Again, Thank you Warmly, Pleasant Adams

Feb 24, 2016

It was very good. everything was explained in detail.

Feb 12, 2016

I was so very pleased with my experience. I would suggest you all to anybody.

Jan 26, 2016

Not satisfied with self for not taking care of my teeth as I should. I did get some of the staff to laugh & lighten my load. Dr. Patel pondered how to best deal with a problem tooth that was hidden end but needs work. Will be back to the office soon.

Jan 20, 2016

Melinda gave me a wonderful teeth cleaning. She made my teeth look so pretty and white.

Dec 23, 2015

Great staff, great atmosphere, great experience!

Oct 16, 2015

Ever experience is awesome. No need to assume anything negative with such great service by this well-educated staff. I appreciate the feedback as well when I have questions. answers are given promptly.

Oct 6, 2015

Always in & out. Warm Smiles & family oriented atmosphere.

Sep 30, 2015

Always a great experience!!

Sep 26, 2015

I was very pleased with Dr. Patel and her staff. The doctor showed genuine concern and was very knowledgeable. Melinda was great.

Sep 23, 2015

Dr. Patel and her team took extremely good care of us. They were all intent on making us feel comfortable, and we were given a very thorough examination and cleaning. All of our treatment options were discussed in detail, and we left her office knowing we were blessed when her practice was recommended to us. It's so important to have a dentist, which has your concerns and needs at heart.

Sep 18, 2015

I absolutely loved, loved, loved Dr. Patel and her staff. They were all great and constantly made sure I was doing good. Dr. Patel explained everything to me and made sure I understood all options. Great experience. Thank you all very much.

Jul 31, 2015

Every appointment is a visit with friends. We catch up on latest news and such which makes getting my teeth cleaned a lot less stressful.

Jul 15, 2015

Melinda did a great job cleaning my teeth.

Jun 18, 2015

Wonderful experience and environment. Love how friendly the entire staff was.

Jun 5, 2015

The staff was courteous and friendly in explaining my options both before and during my visit. I had not been to the dentist in almost 10 years but they took the time to explain my situation/options as many times as I needed. My appointment took almost exactly the length of time they said it would, so it was great to be able to reliably schedule around it. Their waiting room is quite comfortable, more like a typical business office and nothing like the bland, pale white interiors of a lot of doctor's/dentist's offices. In the back, the monitor screens next to each patient chair were neat and a big help too.

Jun 4, 2015

Thank you for your friendly and amazing services!

May 21, 2015

Everyone is so friendly and pleasant! Dr. Patel is very gentle and makes sure you are comfortable during entire process.

May 8, 2015

I am very satisfied with the treatment and care I receive at my visits to the Texas Center Dental Excellence (TCDE). Dr. Patel and her staff provide the highest quality service, I'm especially thankful of her post opt care to me.

I highly recommend Dr. Patel and her stall at the Texas Center of Dental Excellence to everyone. Ira Wade

Mar 26, 2015

Having experienced other dental companies, the Texas Center for Dental Excellence is far above any others that I have ever been to. Each time I have gone or spoken to anyone on the phone, I felt reassured that they are committed to providing me the very best in dental care. They make you feel like you are family. I love this dental group from the office to every technician to the fantastic dental doctors! What an amazing experience. And, thanks to my great doctors, i am cavity free again!!!
