Where Did You Study Dentistry?
Dr. Patel earned his first dental degree in 2005 from the Government Dental School and College in Ahmedabad, India, and after practicing dentistry there, his quest to achieve excellence brought him to the United States of America. Eventually, he graduated as class valedictorian from the Advanced Standing International Student Program of the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine.
Since graduating, he has been practicing in Texas and continued to expand his skills and knowledge of clinical dentistry by taking countless hours of continuing education. Dr. Patel has worked as an exodontist (a general dentist who is highly skilled in the extraction of teeth, including wisdom teeth) and a privileged dental implant provider with Brident Dental. Through them, he provides his services to 15 of their offices where he removes anywhere from 300 to 500 teeth and places anywhere between 30 to 50 dental implants in any given month. He is currently maintaining this part-time position and provides his general dentistry services at Prestige Dental three days a week.
