Heather and Dr. Patel were absolutely wonderful. I came in feeling very nervous, but they both set my mind at ease. I appreciated Heather taking the time to explain everything she was doing and allowing me to take breaks, as needed. The explanation of care was very thorough, and I felt better leaving the office with an understanding of what my financial responsibility would be. Angela and the ladies at the front desk were very friendly and professional, as well as understanding. Overall, a great experience.

Roanoke Dental is usuaally prompt and efficient. Today was not my normal experience. My appointment was originally set for 12 pm. They called the day before and told me they had an 11 open up. I agreed to take that appointment. I arrived about 10-15 minutes early. I didn't get called back until after 12.

The staff here is very friendly and non-judgmental. I have a lot of anxiety and somehow they always manage to make me feel better by the time I leave. I would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a safe space to get their dental situation taken care of.

I recently switched to Roanoke Dental Care because my dentist Dr. Richa Mehta transferred to this office. She is such a professional and her work is absolute perfection. I also like all of the staff. Everyone is so professional and friendly. This is a very well run office. Highly recommend.

The staff is always friendly and efficient. Dr. Mehta has done great work on my teeth, and she has the lightest touch with a needle I have ever experienced. When you're in the chair and can't see what's going on she always lets you know what she's doing and what to expect. Outstanding.

Heather is an excellent hygienist - very thorough. My only problem was that I couldn't keep the "swishing" water from going down my throat since I was lying on my back in the chair. How do other people do it? Heather said her other patients don't have a problem with it.
