Review from Marla B.
Atlanta, GA
EXCELLENT! I will admit that i viewed some of these reviews with suspicion. I thought that perhaps some of the reviewers may have gotten special benefits like a free Zoom treatment on their two front teeth or something. However I was in pain and just wanted it to stop. I checked my suspicious nature, called up and was able to get a same day appointment as a new patient. WOOHOO! SCORE!
I was told that I could arrive before my appointment and i did my best to do just that. Shortly after my ride found me writhing in pain on the staircase and packed me up, we made our way there. Parking was...well it's Atlantic Station so *shrug*. I went in and was greeted by a wonderfully friendly face. Check in was quick and computerized. I was soon retrieved from the waiting area and seated. After a few x-rays were taken it was discovered that my tooth had mutinied and was trying to sink the ship. Dr. Patel came in with his sword drawn ready for battle.
That tooth was no match for his skillful hands, and I was none the wiser. There was no "felt" pain on my part, only imagined. I was anxiously awaiting the removal of the tooth while he worked on me. That is until he informed me that it was already out. The battle that he was having with the treasonous tooth in my mind never materialized in my mouth. I am super grateful and probably even more than normal because I'm still numb. It was only after some adult dental experiences that I began to dread visiting the dentist. Now I'm feeling more optimistic. Thank you to Dr. Patel and the entire staff. I really appreciate the care that you showed me and my mouth. I will be back, a lot.
P.S. My dental insurance sucks, but they made it feel like it was a less sucky thing to have suckysucksuck insurance. -
Review from Tramaine W.
Lithonia, GA
I honestly don't think my experience could have been any better. I'm really happy that I chose this office, considering the horror stories I have heard about the Zoom Teeth Whitening.
After I saw Kathleen's review I called the office to see if they did the zoom whitening and to get a price. The price they gave me was $168 less than what my dentist was going to charge me. So I called last week to try to set up an appointment in October and I found out that there is a promotion going on and the price dropped by $100.I was super happy. So I booked my appointment right then for the following week in order to not miss this great deal.
What made me get my whitening done here was the fact that they acknowledged that the procedure could be painful and gave me ways in which to reduce the pain. I felt the other dentists I talked with minimized the situation in order to get the money or they haven't done enough procedures to really assess the situation.
I started brushing with Sensodyne twice a day a week before my procedure and I also took an 800mg ibuprofen 30 minutes before my appointment. I was able to finish all 4 sessions. It was painful but not too much and that says a lot since I have a very low pain tolerance. The zingers started at the end of the second session but were the worst after the procedure was done for about 3 hours. After that I actually ate dinner just fine.
Mrs. Deborah did my procedure and she was an angel, she literally did everything to make me feel comfortable, including adjusting my TV many times so I could see my show.Dr.Patel talked with me at the beginning and end ,thoroughly calmed my nerves and gave me a good picture of what the procedure would feel like during and after.
The whole procedure including a touch up kit cost me $299.Go book your appointment now, you won't be disappointed unless you don't want white teeth. -
Review from Kathleen M.
Atlanta, GA
Let's face it: no one actually enjoys going to the dentist. I mean, sure, you might like your squeaky clean teeth when it's all over and done with, but laying back with your mouth wide open while a stranger pokes and prods isn't fun, no matter how you look at it.
I've had some pretty serious orthodontic work over the years so I'm admittedly a little wary of people getting all up in my grill. As a result, I was waaay overdue for a cleaning but finally made an appointment at 19th Street Dental after seeing all of the great reviews that assuaged my fears. They're conveniently located at Atlantic Station (free parking under 2 hours, plus you can treat yourself to a little shopping post-check up... you deserve it!). The office is very nice and open, with all sorts of high tech things like TVs that they can pull down for proper viewing while they get to work. I prefer to keep my eyes closed like nothing is happening, but whatever floats your boat.
I've been here for two cleanings and filling replacements, and all 3 have been great experiences. I love that you schedule your cleanings with the same hygienist every time, so they can really keep track of your progress (for someone who has shitty gums, this is important stuff). They're always up front about the cost of things and are sure to talk about budgeting or scheduling around paychecks to make sure that you're covered: I truly appreciate that.
I've seen both Dr. Patel and Dr. Zeineddin and they're both fantastic: you can't go wrong. So yeah, don't put off that cleaning any longer: your teeth will thank you!Listed in: Atlantic Station.

The lobby isn't spacious but is reasonably expected as the dental locates in Atlantic Station.
Nice and friendly nurses and dentist.
Honestly and helpful advice.
So far, nothing to complain.Comment from Trushar P. of 19th Street Dental 9/14/2011

Review from Tristyn B.
Atlanta, GA
Love this place!!! Dr. Patel is all about educating his patients on their oral health, and he's in no way condescending or judgemental... Simply matter of fact. They really are "state-of-the-art" in terms of equipment and comfort, and the goody bags they give out include these awesome toothbrushes that make your mouth feel incredible when u finish brushing!

Review from melissa s.
Atlanta, GA
Just visited 19th Street Dental today and I'm SO happy I used Yelp to choose my new Atlanta dentist!
As other reviews have said, the space is very modern and has updated technology like a computer sign in, digital cameras and TVs at every chair. Very cool. Location was convenient -- right in Atlantic Station -- and parking was a breeze.
Dr. Patel and his staff were SO nice and really went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. They seemed to have a genuine interest in the patients and worked hard at trying to build a relationship beyond just discussing your teeth. Everyone was very down to earth, caring and unpretentious.
Another factor that made me feel comfortable and confident was that they spent a good deal of time with me, explaining both what was going on with my mouth and why. It was refreshing to find a medical professional that didn't have one foot out the door rushing to the next patient.
My appointment was just for an exam, so I can't yet comment on quality of work, but I will definitely be returning to Dr. Patel soon and updating my review! -
Review from Jillian C.
Atlanta, GA
Prior to getting a job after graduation, I was on my mom's insurance, so I was excited when I got a job+finally got to choose my own dentist...and after much research [actually, a 25 minute google search+3 phone calls], I decided to try 19th Street Dental. With that being said, I looovvee them+don't regret my decision.
First, Dr. Patel is the nicest, cutest dentist ever! During my first consultation, he made me laugh even while probing my teeth.
Then, there's the flat screen televisions. I like the fact that you can attempt to tune out all the noise going on in your mouth simply by tuning into whatever you would like to watch.
Jill, the hygienist, is absolutely wonderful as well. She cleans your teeth so delicately, but when you leave, you can feel the absolutely niceness of your teeth. I loooveee it!
As long as I'm a resident of Atlanta, and Dr. Patel doesn't go anywhere else, 19th Street will be my dental office. The youthfulness+comfort of the office makes me as a young professional feel quite good about taking care of my teeth+visiting the dentist. -
Review from Laura M.
Atlanta, GA
Dr. Patel's office in Atlantic Station is awesome! Beyond being super convenient (free 2 hour parking and plenty of it) the office is completely digital--no endless forms to fill out. Instead there's an efficient little computer station for your info that takes maybe 3 minutes to complete.
The office is decorated in a hip, youthful way with great abstract paintings everywhere...and guess what? Dr. Patel did them himself! He's extremely personable and the equipment is brand spanking new and oh so clean. He takes digital x-rays which produce 90% less radiation than traditional ones and he has a great little camera that goes in your mouth during the exam and photographs each little tooch up close and personal.
I know people hate going to the dentist, but Dr. Patel really makes you feel comfortable and informed. Each station has its own flat screen, so you can can be distracted during the drilling! -
Review from Elsa A.
Atlanta, GA
What a great place! Unfortunately my dentist, Dr. R. Friedman, went into early retirement. So I've been in search of a new place. I found Dr. Patel's office on Yelp and true to the great reviews, this office is awesome. Dr. Patel and his entire staff were very warm and friendly. Their office is in a convenient location, with excellent free parking at Atlantic Station. I had a cleaning and 2 fillings done in under 2hrs. The office is clean, modern and very client focused. You can't beat watching TV while you're having your teeth worked on! :)
I definitely recommend 19th Street Dental and Dr. Patel. -
Review from Patrick H.
Atlanta, GA
From the time I walked in, I felt positive about this dental practice. The self-registration kiosk is a nice touch, and much more pleasant than filling out 10th-generation copies of multiple forms.
Tania and Dr. Patel were helpful, friendly, and clear in their explanations of what would happen and how it all worked.
The x-ray and photographic techniques they used were impressive and clearly showed my (all-too-many) needs visually.
Most importantly, Dr. Patel's practice is client-centered. He took an amazing amount of time to visit with me and explain in detail what I needed, a plan to achieve it, including high-, mid-, and low-level approaches.
For the first time in my life, I am looking forward to going to the dentist.Comment from Trushar P. of 19th Street Dental 6/22/2010

Review from Laura N.
Prior to seeing Dr. Trushar Patel about my toothache, I had an intense fear of dentists which involved avoidance of the dentist's office for most of my life. Let's just say I had a very bad childhood dental experience.
Dr. Patel is different from many dentists. His entire dental office is actually really hip, even gorgeous, with super clean and very modern technology. His staff are polite and professional. Dr. Patel was the first dentist to identify my chronic periodontal disease, and he did not try to hide anything from me. His examination and the immediate consultation afterward was not affected by the fact that he knew I was poor and depending entirely on student loans. He carefully reviewed my xrays and high-resolution photographs of my teeth that he took with his digital SLR camera, and provided an extensive dental treatment plan which I needed (my dentist cousin-in-law reviewed my xrays and dental photographs, and confirmed that I really do need everything that Dr. Patel recommended). No other dentist had ever asked me what goals I ultimately have for my teeth in the long run. Dr. Patel was the first to ask, and it was not a ridiculous question, especially considering my severe periodontal disease.
Dr. Patel was really interested in helping me save all of my teeth, but he was honest up front about who could do a better root canal and deep cleaning (root planing and scaling) for a condition as severe as mine. I actually ended up getting an extraction by Dr. Patel because the endodontist and the periodontist determined that my problematic tooth was not salvagable because of my extensive bone loss.
The tooth extraction strangely was not painful at all, because Dr. Patel is incredibly gentle. I didn't even know when the tooth was completely removed! Afterward, I didn't even feel any pain even when the local anesthesia wore off. All I needed to stop the pain completely was 800 mg of Motrin, and I only took 1 dose. Also, my bleeding actually stopped completely about 8 hours after the tooth extraction. I was very impressed. I felt great. My toothache was gone. I was able to go to work the very next day, not bloody or nauseous at all. It was awesome.
I've had all my wisdom teeth removed by an oral surgeon somewhere else, and I was definitely bloody from that surgery for at least 24 hours. Furthermore, I was nauseous (complete with vomiting) for 48 hours from the oxycodone that was prescribed for me by the oral surgeon.
I highly recommend 19th Street Dental.
Excellent dental work. Clean. High-tech. Honest. Competitive and reasonable pricing. No nausea/vomiting. Fabulous.Listed in: dental

Review from Zlatko U.
Dr. Patel is a really awesome guy. He is very friendly and concerned about your teeth. He performed my sole cavity removal and was quick and professional. Make sure you ask him about his cricket playing days. As for the rest of the staff, they are professional and super friendly. They make you feel rather relaxed and comfortable. The office is well decorated and four flights of stairs away from the garage. Overall, this is a really top notch establishment. If you are looking for a new dentist I suggest you check out 19th Street Dental.

Review from Christina G.
Atlanta, GA
I had recently moved to Atlanta when I found myself in need of a dentist. I had only one business day before going out of the country and it was imperative that I fix my chipped molar before leaving. I found 19th Street Dental on Yelp and decided to give them a call. They fit me in the next morning and within a couple of hours I was all set for the trip. Dr. Patel took time to discuss the situation with me and my options. He also gave me plenty of opportunities to ask any questions. The staff was very personable as well. I plan to continue using their services while I live in Atlanta.

Review from Aahirah A.
Douglasville, GA
From the time you walk in the experience is awesome, the folks at the front desk remember your name and welcome you in. The office is clean and modern. They use advanced technology to show exactly what's going on. He used a laser today. I'm not sure what it did, but it didn't hurt and I didn't have to hear any horrible drilling. I've had a root canal, filings, and he put my crown on today. This has been the most pleasurable dental experience I have ever had. The whole staff is great, and Dr. Patel is so concerned about your health and comfort, way before trying to upsell you something aesthetic. He identified a serious problem another dentist missed, told me I didn't have something another dentist said I had (pathology under another crown), just honest concern for health. I have already recommended him to my friends and family. I've many experiences with dentist (two root canals and three crowns, three extractions) from dentist around Atlanta and under NYU's dental while I was there. This was THE best.
