UPDATE: The office called me and helped resolve the issue -- I appreciate their attention and willingness to assist me. Regardless, as a patient, please continue to be aware of your claims and what your office charges you.
While the care I received here was exceptional, I want to flag for any new or existing patient to take a closer look at your treatment plans and subsequent dental claims. The office overcharged me and dragged their feet in repaying me until I got the insurance company involved.
In addition, do make note to ask them about a "D999" code on your treatment plan. They told me everything was covered but yet they never mentioned this code which was a whopping 75 bucks out of pocket. I was forced to pay to make the appointment before even seeing my treatment plan too.
Please do your due diligence if you choose them to be your provider.

I went to get my wisdom teeth removed with Dr. Patel and the team here. It was an amazing experience with no hiccups at all. I would definitely recommend this place should your wisdom teeth need to be removed! Shout out to Gaby and Vania for helping me when I was incapacitated after the surgery.

I had a fantastic experience with Dr. Patel, Vania, and Gaby! Getting a tooth removed is never fun, but they made the process smooth, quick, and as comfortable as possible. Dr. Patel was professional and gentle, explaining everything clearly, and Vania and Gaby were incredibly kind and supportive throughout the procedure. Their teamwork and care made all the difference. Highly recommend them for anyone in need of dental work!

I called this clinic to schedule an appointment for a tooth extraction. Over the phone, the staff assured me that there would be no out-of-pocket costs since my insurance would cover everything. However, upon arrival, I was unexpectedly asked to pay around $480 out-of-pocket for the extraction, along with a $50 consultation fee.
Since this was not what I was told, I refused to proceed and instead went to another dental clinic in Fairfax, where my insurance fully covered the procedure with no out-of-pocket expenses.
The lack of transparency and professionalism from this clinic’s staff was disappointing. Their communication is misleading, and they seem more focused on overcharging patients than providing honest care. I would not recommend this clinic.

Dr. Dipa Patel is an exceptional surgeon who has brought me peace of mind twice. I left her office today with a big smile on my face. She successfully performed surgery on my daughter's tumor, taking great care to minimize harm. Dr. Patel thoroughly explained the procedure, step by step, making it easy to grasp. Her professionalism, as well as that of her assistants, is impressive. The office is always clean, and the staff is consistently courteous and kind. I wholeheartedly recommend the office 100%.

I usually don't write negative reviews, but this one I felt like an obligation to alert other patients, who are planning to make an appointment with her office.
Dr. Patel and staff completely clueless and unprofessional! I was referred to her because in 2021 I had a jaw surgery, and the surgeon who did the surgery had retired. When I made the appointment, I explained to the receptionist why I am coming, it is due to the surgery my lower jaw numbness is getting worse and I am told Dr. Patel is part of the team of original Surgeon's team. The receptionist never told me that, Dr. Patel is not the part of that team. Anyways on the appointment day two hours before the appointment i received a call from Dr. Patel's office and once again I explained them why I am coming to see her. Still I was told nothing weither Dr. Patel will be able to give me recommendation on my issues and she does not belong to the particular team, so please check with your referring provider.
I drove 53 miles to get there paid them $50.00 co-pay to see the most ignorant, impolite, unproffecinal and racist doctor ever!! First she couldn't comprehend what I was trying to explain, Secondly she said I have nothing to do with the Surgeon's team (I don't know why I wasn't told when I made the appointment, and explained them multiple times the reason of my visit)
Without any facts her conclusion was I have numbness, because there might be a tumor in my jaw or MS or some other neurological disorder! She left the room without saying a word.
I have never experienced such unprofessional doctor. She should be ashamed of herself.
I should've known when she walked in the room in ragged sweat suit! Horrible Horrible experience! I urge anyone who decides to go to Dr. Deepa Patel to check all the facts before throwing your money away!
Dr. Patel you must have a short term memory loss. I had a 2 pm today on 2/3/25 appointment with you and I was called in at 2:23 pm. If you can't remember a patient you saw few hours ago, it's bad! Please kindly learn how to be professional and take responsibility of your profession. By no means I am bullying you! Just stating the facts. You never tell a patient without any facts, reports or scans, that you might have a tumor or mass growing that's why your jaw feels numb. You don't know how it feels to hear that 'you might have a tumor or mass'
Thx

Trying to make an appointment and someone answer the phone and says nothing. Then all of a sudden a text comes to my phone saying respond here or we will call back. Strange to say the least.

I had the best wisdom tooth surgery experience here! Every single staff member at the office was so kind and patient, answered my many questions, and offered great care. I had a remarkably smooth recovery with almost no pain or swelling at all (I was up and seeing friends less than a full 24 hours later). After dreading getting my wisdom teeth out and putting it off, this truly could not have been a better experience. Would highly recommend Dr. Patel and her team!
Also, for what it’s worth re the other reviews noting issues with insurance: this was an expensive surgery, but they quoted me the same amount out of pocket as another office, and took the time to sit down with me and walk through my options. They also did not pressure me to choose them or book an appointment quickly, which has happened to me at other offices.

This place is the absolute BEST for oral surgery. Dr. Patel is kind and pays lots of attention to detail. She explained the whole procedure to me step by step and reassured me the whole way. I had a fabulous recovery and Dr. Patel made sure I had no complications from my wisdom teeth extraction. If I could do it all over again, I’d happily choose Dr. Patel to do my procedure again. Her staff were so kind and attentive and made sure I had everything I needed for a proper recovery. Dr. Patel even called me a few days after my procedure to make sure I was okay which made me feel very appreciated as a patient.

Had all four of my wisdom teeth removed and it was such a speedy recovery! I have chatted with others who had the same surgery (at a different practice) and had a hard recovery. But I was feeling back to normal in just 8 days! So fast!
I also really appreciated how proactive Dr. Patel is with making sure you know the cost before saying yes. She breaks down all the cost for you and what your insurance will cover at your initial appointment. I love that. She makes sure everyone is prepared really well. All in all 5 star experience!

Dr. Patel is simply outstanding! She made my experience of getting 2 wisdom teeth and a broken tooth removed at the same time the most comfortable and easiest procedure I ever had. This was my first time at her office and I felt so blessed to have found her and her staff. I have already recommended her to a friend whose husband needs a tooth extraction. I hope he gives Dr. Patel a chance. He won't regret it. All the staff is very friendly and helpful! Thank you Jason you are the best! Thank you Kendall ,Maggie and Kim for your professionalism and great front office demeanor. Also you guys really made my day with your kind and thoughtful gesture. I was so happy and surprised.

Dr. Patel was wonderful and made the process of having a wisdom tooth extracted as painless, comfortable and quick as possible. Most important for me, Dr. Patel took the time to hear my concerns about my dentist's recommendations and about the procedure and she answered all my questions in a way that helped me feel informed and comfortable with decisions I was making about this extraction and potential other wisdom tooth extractions. With her guidance, I have healed well since the surgery and,if need be, would go back to her without hesitation for any future oral surgery. Thank you!!!

Dr. Patel's bed-side manners are outstanding! Her personality shows all around her office and she's funny (Who doesn't love a good joke?)! She made my experience of getting 4 wisdom teeth removed at the same time the most comfortable and easiest procedure ever! If I ever need anything else, I'll be sure to return! Highly recommend! All the staff is very friendly and helpful!

The staff and the doctors were some of the friendliest people I have ever met. Upon entering the office a was greeted with a smile and a warm welcome. They were quick to explain everything that was going to happen and had no problem answering the many questions I had. Even after the procedure was complete they were still very attentive as I would call in every once in a while for advise on what I can and cannot eat. I would definitely come here again.

Everyone in the office is friendly and treats you with care. I was in and out of the office in around 30 minutes from my surgery. It went by smoothly and I recovered quicker than I thought I would. I highly recommend this office and their staff for your dental needs.

Dr Patel and her team are awesome!!! 2 weeks ago, I had 5 teeth extracted pre-Invisalign to allow more space in my mouth. I had absolutely no pain post-procedure where I only took one Percocet the day of surgery and only needed Motrin thereafter. I was able to eat food the Saturday after the procedure on Friday because I had absolutely no pain or discomfort.
I read an article that there is an art to removing teeth and I honestly think that Dr. Patel is a Van Gogh. I would highly recommend her and her office to anyone in need of Oral or Maxillofacial needs and I will return to her office if I am ever in need again. Every step of the way was flawless !!!
Thanks so much, Dr. Patel !!!

Dr. Patel is truly one of the best! She has been my oral surgeon following a terrible experience with a previous surgeon and she has been an absolute godsend! She is abreast of all of the latest technology and takes the time to explain each procedure in layman's terms so her patients feel comfortable and at ease. I brought my teenage daughter to Dr. Patel to have her wisdom teeth extracted and I am still amazed at how effortless this procedure was! My daughter had absolutely NO SWELLING whatsoever and only needed Tylenol directly following the procedure--she experienced no further pain! Others that have had this extraction done in the past are completely in awe when I tell them about my daughter's experience! So glad I found Dr. Patel!!

Dr. Patel is very caring and she takes her time to explain things is down to earth language. Her mannerism is reassuring, given that she has helped me with an issue that started before I visited her for her medical/dental attention. I feel like I'm in good hands.

Dr. Patel and her staff are outstanding. The wisdom tooth extraction she performed was extremely quick and painless (it was my first and I was a bit anxious). I was in quite a bit of pain and she scheduled the appointment and performed the procedure the next day. Her staff went above and beyond regarding the insurance aspects of the procedure (trying to find ways to reduce costs for an x-ray I needed but my insurance wouldn't cover). I hope she stays in Arlington and I would hesitate recommending her to anyone.
