I am in my mid 70s and have lived in a number of places in Australia and New Zealand and experienced many dentists all with differing personalities, knowledge and attitudes towards patient care. My first experience with East Melbourne Dental Group was five years ago when I was visiting my son for Christmas and had to have some
emergency dental work done. I was impressed then with the care provided and how the dentist was prepared to work beyond his finishing time. Some three years later and now living in Melbourne I again attended the medical group for what would end up being a tooth extraction. Not my favourite past time. This was when I was introduced to Dr Ronak Patel [redacted clinical content] from the UK. [redacted clinical content] I couldn't be happier with a dentist than I am with Dr Patel. He takes the time to explain what needs to be done and how that work may impact on other teeth. He also provides a fee quote for work to be done and doesn't apply pressure to do it. He leaves it up to me to decide when to do it, which usually depends on when I can afford it and, that's no reflection on the cost, just my ability to fund it. Dr Ron has a warm and pleasing personality and I always leave the surgery with a smile and almost looking forward to the next visit - I did say almost. Let's not forget the other staff, they are great as well.
If you are looking for a dentist who cares about you, [redacted clinical content], has modern equipment and how to use it and makes you feel important to them, then you can't go past Dr Ron Patel and the East Melbourne Dental Group.
