Meet Dr. Patel
Dr. Raj Patel, DDS
Doctor of Dental Surgery · 15+ Years Experience
Dr. Patel grew up in the Kootenays and came back after completing his DDS at UBC because, as he puts it, “you can’t replace a community like this.” He bought the practice in 2021 and has been focused on one thing ever since: making sure patients of all ages feel heard, comfortable, and confident about their dental health.
His philosophy: explain everything, rush nothing, and always ask “how are you doing?” before you pick up an instrument.

Patient Stories
The most honest words come from people who were nervous before their first visit
“I hadn't been to a dentist in 8 years. Pure anxiety. Dr. Patel talked me through every single step. I cried a little on the way home — not from pain, from relief that it wasn't as bad as I'd built it up to be.”
Melissa R.
First visit after 8-year gap
“My kids actually ask when their next appointment is. That's never happened anywhere else. The team makes it feel like a visit to a friend's house.”
Jamie & Kevin T.
Family — 3 kids
“Online booking changed everything for me. I work shifts — I can book at 11pm without playing phone tag. The forms online saved 20 minutes in the waiting room.”
Derek S.
Regular checkup patient
