Comfort Dental

I went to this dentist for a few years, I’ve had teeth pulled when I wasn’t fully numbed , she said it was pressure, I’m the one in pain though. Had two root canals done from her.. well actually just 1 which was questionable. . She couldn’t do the second one right, I flinched from pain as she attempted to put filling in and she got upset it was going to take another half hour. Also said she had to reschedule someone else and told me to try and sit still, her incompetence to numb correctly and perform a root canal is what caused me to jerk. I highly suggest you go to a different dentist. She injected me 5 times throughout the entire visit and I left in pain. Same with past visits. I then Went to dr.radke in gurnee. He redid her screw up. And did a second root canal in one visit, he gave me 3 shots before he even started and I didn’t feel a thing my entire visit. I thought about not posting this. But what she did isn’t right.

Don’t let the bad reviews (because of the receptionist) keep you from trying this dentist. The staff in this office changed which made a huge difference. The dentist is a caring professional and does everything she can to make me comfortable during my visits. She also cares for my child since he was 2 years old, he is now 8. Try it out, Dr. Patel is excellent.

The doctor is a kind, attentive person who really cares and learns about her patient’s needs. We are a family of 3 and see her twice a year. Since she changed receptionist the practice is really become the best dentist in Gurnee.

Lets start by saying I am the BIGGEST baby in the world and the dr and the receptionist were super patient and answered all my questions over and over again lol. I got my wisdom teeth removed and she did AMAZING. If i ever have any dental work from here on out i will be going here. Everyone was super friendly and supportive!

My son was born with conjoined teeth and developed a cavity between them that pained him when we would floss or brush it. Talked to the dentist about it and she decided it was best to fill it. He’s 3 and on the day of his appointment, for whatever reason she thought it was a good idea to fill the cavity without any type of local anasthetics or numbing. She drilled his tooth and naturally he was in pain and when I asked if we could numb it for him she seemed as though I was asking something far fetched or out of the ordinary for a child to be numb during this experience. At this point he was already very distraught and in pain due to the drilling so he was a bit on edge when attempting to give him the Novocain which she gave my 38 lb 3 year old the same dosage she would an adult so needless to say after the entire traumatic ordeal was over, the entire right side of his face was swollen for the better part of the day & all the while the dentist seemed annoyed like what she was doing was an inconvenience to her. She also filled cavities my 8 year old had, again with no numbing: he handled it a lot better but was told when he winced "you’re ok, it’s not that bad you’re not hurt." We have complained about this to our insurance and will not be returning at all. Would rather go to someone who actually enjoys their job & isn’t visibly miserable while working with patients especially small children.
