Meet Dr. Patel

Dr. Sajit Patel grew up in
London, England. He moved to Southern California with his family one year
before entering college at California Lutheran University. Upon completion of
his program at this institution, Dr. Patel attended Tufts University of Dental
Medicine, where he received his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree in 2005.
Immediately after receiving this degree, he headed to the University of
Southern California School of Dentistry in Los Angeles, where he completed a
Certificate of Residency in Advanced Education in General Dentistry.
During his time at Tufts
University’s Dental Medicine Program, Dr. Patel earned the Deans Award for
Student Teaching. Before buying Aliso Smiles, Dr. Patel expanded his hands-on
skills in several private dental practices, and joined associations including:
- American Dental Association
- Academy of General Dentistry
- Dental Organization for Conscious Sedation
- California Dental Association
- Orange County Dental Association
To Dr. Patel, patient
satisfaction is paramount. He continues to advance his skills, taking courses
that allow him to remain on the cutting edge of innovative treatment options
and new technologies.
An interest in dentistry has
been longstanding for Dr. Patel, who was inspired by his uncle, who was a dentist
with extremely high standards of patient care. He has always enjoyed the
artistic component involved in dentistry, and remains interested in the daily
challenges that come from providing a valuable service to our community.
Dr. Patel helps patients enjoy
healthy, beautiful smiles, while ensuring positive dental experiences. We
understand that there are those who avoid seeing the dentist due to anxiety.
One of our missions is to change the way patients experience dental care. Many
of our patients actually look forward to their visits!
Outside of the office, Dr.
Patel is committed to spending time with his family. He enjoys time outdoors in
the beautiful Southern California sunshine, learning golf, or playing tennis or
soccer. He also enjoys reading.
If you live in one of our neighboring
communities, including Laguna Hills, Dana Point, Mission Viejo, and Laguna
Beach, we would be happy to have you as a part of our dental family. Contact us
