A word from Dr. Patel

Over the years I’ve enjoyed creating beautiful smiles, but I’m most passionate about the relationships I’ve created with my patients, colleagues and team. I was born and grew up in London-Wimbledon, England and have lived in the Sacramento area for the last 20 years. When away from the office I try to stay active…I am an avid Squash and Tennis player who competes at national tournaments. On Sunday afternoons you will find me relaxing and watching a movie with my family and friends.

Fun Fact: I love STAR WARS, the Olympic Games and Roger Federer!
