About
Our office sees patients Monday through Friday. Dr. Priyanka Patel graduated dental school from Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio where she earned her Doctorate in Dental Medicine. Prior to moving back to Chicago, she decided to stay in Cleveland for an extra year to participate in a General Practice Residency at the Louis Stokes VA Medical Center. This experience provided her with the opportunity to not only refine and expand her dental training but serve our nation's great Veterans. She has also traveled abroad to Guatemala and Ecuador to treat patients of all ages who lack access to dental care. All appointments must be verbally confirmed within 24 hours of scheduling the appointment and providing your demographic information (birthday, phone number, and insurance ID). Contact our office at 312-836-1166
Why should patients choose you as their provider instead of others in the area?

Reviewed on June 29th, 2018 • Verified patientSo far it seems like the pain I'd been having when biting with my upper left molar has been reduced. When I've remembered to try chewing with it again, it's been a little touchy but much better than it was. Such a simple fix. Thank you for seeing the problem and correcting it right there.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[58716].errors[0] }} -

Quick, easy visits with Dr. Patel
Reviewed on June 26th, 2018 • Verified patientI had put off going to the dentist for a while so I had to get a filling and onlay done. The office is clean, comfortable, in a convenient location, and I did not have to wait more than a few minutes. All but one of the hygienists were extremely friendly and warm, maybe it was 2 bad days for the other one? Dr. Patel was welcoming, friendly, and made me feel comfortable. I'll be happy to come back to this office for my check ups/cleanings.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[58654].errors[0] }} -
Organized and professional
Reviewed on June 16th, 2018 • Verified patientThe River North office is new and pristine. My hygienist Leah was wonderful - thorough, informative, and mindful of my comfort the entire time. Dr. Patel was so kind and friendly! I didn’t have an issue other than a locking jaw and she walked me through the causes for it and suggestions for how to manage it. Great experience!Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[58425].errors[0] }} -

Dr. Patel and her staff are professional, friendly, and super quick
Reviewed on May 15th, 2018 • Verified patientI loved my experience here, they use the best new equipment for your comfort and convenience. Also, they make you feel at ease, especially if it has been a while since your last visit. They are helpful with proactive steps to take for good hygiene. Their book service is also streamlined so that you can fill in your paperwork on the go and they won't let you forget about your appointment!Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[57844].errors[0] }} -
Very efficient, very clean, very caring.
Reviewed on May 15th, 2018 • Verified patientThey sent me forms to fill out electronically 2 days before my appointment, which made the visit efficient. They were very throrough, very reassuring, and patient. They diagnosed me, made a treatment plan, and then applied my insurance to the treatment plan. They then showed me my final bill after initial diagnosis. They asked me to review and approve before they started treatment. I barely paid anything, loved the transparency! The offices were quite clean and modern. I don’t like going to dentists and I’m definitely coming back for part 2 of my treatment.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[57836].errors[0] }} -

Awesome dentist and dental hygienist!
Reviewed on May 9th, 2018 • Verified patientThe staff accommodated me even though I was running late in traffic. Very thorough cleaning and knowledgeable staff.

Smooth and informative trip to the dentist!
Reviewed on April 20th, 2018 • Verified patientI found Dr. Priyanka Patel over opencare based on proximity to my workplace. I booked my appt through opencare but they did not have any openings for a few weeks (which I see high demand as a good thing), so would recommend anyone to be proactive in booking appointments far in advance to get the date you want. The dentist office was in a good location in River North, they sent me paperwork in advance of the appt so did not have to spend the first half hour filling out all the paperwork. I was called into the appt right on time. The dental hygenist was very professional and informative while going through my new patient xrays, etc. She kept informed every step of the way. The office is very sleek and nice, each room has Netflix with a fun sitcom playing in the background. Let's be honest, you can't have a bad time if the Friends theme song is playing while you're getting your teeth deep cleaned. All in all one of the better dentist experiences I've had! Will be returning as long as I live in Chicago :)Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[57319].errors[0] }} -
Alleviated concerns about my dental health.
Reviewed on April 5th, 2018 • Verified patientI have extreme dental-phobia stemming from childhood and I was naturally nervous to go to see Dr. Patel. But meeting with Dr. Patel and her staff was a great experience. They were comfortable to be around, the office was nice and Dr. Patel's demeanor was lovely. I'm still have dental phobia (!) but will go to my next appointment with much more confidence.Was this review helpful?{{ reviews[56965].errors[0] }} -

Fantastic!
Reviewed on December 24th, 2017 • Verified patientDr. Priyanka Patel and her staff took excellent care of me during my recent bi-annual dental appointment. Staff that did my cleaning, X-rays etc was extremely qualified and made the entire experience very comfortable. Each step in the process was well explained which made me feel very assured throughout the appointment. Her office has best in class equipment and she took time to patiently explain all my results along with discussing the next steps with me.
