"I visited the office today for the first time. I was greeted with a smile and I only waited a few minutes even though I was early. I hadn’t been to the dentist in a while and I had been Concerned with some tooth pain. All my questions were answered respectfully and fully. The Hygienist that cleaned my teeth was super sweet and caring. When I met Dr. Patel he was down to earth with his explanations of what’s was going on with my tooth and his cool fist bump. He made me feel comfortable. I was impressed with the office and the staff. Thank you for a great visit!"

“As someone who is terrified of going to the dentist, my experience in the past has been filled with high anxiety. I found Dr. Patel friendly and my dental hygienist to be exceptional. Allison was caring, calming and explained everything as she went along. I was kept comfortable from experiencing any pain and I no longer dread going to the dentist. The office staff are so helpful and friendly. They made me feel welcomed. I highly recommend Sumner Dental Group.”

"This was my first visit and I was very impressed! I come from a family of dentists and have high expectations. I thought Dr Patel was professional and personable. His discussion of his recommendations for my plan of care were thorough. The hygienist was also great. She exuded the same attitude I sensed in Dr. Patel. These are people that young and building the practice with integrity and commitment. See for yourself. You won’t be disappointed."

“This was my first visit to Sumner Dental and Dr. Patel. I went to this practice after doing extensive research, trying to find just the right dentist. I have several issues, and I was so dreading my appointment, but I was immediately put at ease. They are wonderful. The hygienist was the best----thorough, efficient, kind and patient. She and Dr. Patel explained my procedures to me and included me in the decisions. I made the right choice and am very happy with this dental group!! They get an A+!!”

“My first visit with Dr. Patel and staff was more than absolutely incredible! As a long time patient of Dr. Mayes, I will have to say that the service and treatment that was provided was among the best that I’ve received as long as I’ve been a resident in Sumner County, TN. They were all very kind, humble, sharp on their skills, and very professional in their field of work and moral dignity. I will always highly recommend Sumner Dental Group. God Bless you all, and this nation!!!”
