Clinic Atmosphere and Staff Behavior

Pros:

  • "I found him to really care about my mental wellbeing and I’m so grateful for the check-ins."
  • "Wonderful clinic where all staff are very kind and helpful."
  • "His practice is very relaxing, clean and my partner actually didn’t mind coming and waiting because the music in the practice was so good!"
  • "The environment of his surgery is clean and relaxing with great music playing softly in the background always."
  • "Walking in for each appointment soothed me because of the calming music."
  • "The staff are very friendly, extremely professional, they are very gentle when putting on and removing braces or any other retainer."

Cons:

  • "It was clearly evident that he had taken on FAR too many clients."

Treatment Experience and Results

Pros:

  • "The treatment progressed much quicker than I expected, and I was amazed by the noticeable changes in my smile over a short period."
  • "My teeth look great and cannot recommend Dr Patel enough!"
  • "My initial treatment was 10 years ago and I’ve had regular check-ups throughout alongside fixes to my wire in which Dr Patel has always taken care of efficiently."
  • "I have now completed my treatment and am very excited and pleased with the results. Its the first time in some time I smiled freely and confidently thanks to my straight teeth!"
  • "I saw him around monthly visits where he carefully adjusted the braces to correct my teeth in the fastest way he could."
  • "My teeth look amazing and visibly at least 70/80% better than they did just a year ago."
  • "Absolutely amazing treatment!! Had my braces for 1 and a half year and just got them off last week. My teeth were super bad before the treatment but now they are absolutely perfect!"
  • "My teeth weren't perfect before, they had lots of gaps and stuck out and I felt shy about showing my teeth. But now after braces they are perfect! I feel happier to smile."

Cons:

  • "Took my braces off after 6 months, although I voiced concerns about he tightened one side of my braces too much which has lifted half of my teeth giving a very crooked smile."
  • "Dr Patel was terribly incompetent as an orthodontist."

Professionalism and Expertise

Pros:

  • "Dr Patel has been my orthodontist for years and I personally recommend him as he is the best at what he does."
  • "Dr Patel exceeded all my expectations and not only made my teeth better cosmetically but also the health of them has improved too."
  • "Dr Patel made getting braces later in life a breeze. My appointments were on time and thorough."
  • "I feel so lucky to have Mr Patel. He was recommended to me by another dentist while I was undergoing my second set of treatment at a different practice."
  • "I cannot fault the service and expertise, he really knows his stuff and puts you at ease."
  • "If you are lucky enough to be assigned Jay Patel, a sensational orthodontist there, then worry no further as you are in excellent hands."
  • "I came to Evolution orthodontists aged 13 having already been discharged once from braces treatment (NHS). Dr Patel and his team have been unbelievable in fixing my teeth as quickly as possible."
  • "During my treatment (braces and bite correction) I’ve realised there is an ‘art form’ to the treatment (i.e. in the type of adjustments / corrections needed)."

Cons:

  • "Each appointment was extremely rushed and slap dash."
  • "The permanment retainer came off in a week."
  • "I cannot close my jaw properly and it hurts when close for longer time."
  • "There is a big effort to eat anything. Upper and lower teeth grind or rub each other while eating."
  • "Upper jaw does not sit properly on lower jaw which causes grinding, rubbing and clenching."
