Meet our team
Our team was built with a shared goal - to give patients their dream smile. Get to know us!
“One of my goals as a healthcare provider is for my patients to have the knowledge and tools to help them better care for themselves and live a healthy life, and I want to be a part of them attaining that. In addition, I believe in comprehensive oral care with a gentle approach to help alleviate anxiety or fear that may come from the thought of having dental work.”

Dr. Patel is from Tazewell, Tennessee, a small town nestled in the Appalachian Mountains on the border of Kentucky and Virginia. He moved to Colorado in November 2017 and loves it so much that he doesn’t intend to leave. Dr. Patel loves and is passionate about animals. He has a dog, Ruby, and a leopard gecko, Louie. His love for animals has always been so immense that he wanted to be a veterinarian growing up, but his enjoyment of communicating, building relationships with patients, and working with his hands led him to dentistry. Outside of the office, Dr. Patel enjoys attending live concerts and comedy shows, going to sporting events, and following his Georgia Bulldogs. He also loves being in nature, whether hiking, skiing, snowshoeing, or camping. Dr. Patel has played tennis since he was 12 years old and continues to enjoy the sport recreationally. Aside from sports, he also loves to draw and paint, and he’ll always find an excuse to do something fun with his dog.
