Dr. Ulpa Patel DDS

Sep 8th, 2022

Came in one morning to get my partial seen. Appt was at eight o clock. Wasn't seen until eight fifty. I was told my papers were placed in the wrong box so as I watched people come in after me and go back to see the dentist the more heated I got. Then I am told my dentist that I have been seeing since 2010 is no longer there. Some strange man came in and told me he is now my dentist. No proper introduction or anything then he left. Service is slow. People are incompetent This place should be closed or revamped with people of knowledge and integrity instead of people there to try to make money. I truly miss my dentist...Dr Ulpa Patel where r you?

I confirmed this morning from another dentist through x-ray analysis that I have PERMANENT NERVE DAMAGE from a simple cavity filling from Dr Patel at Great Expressions Dental. Details below. I went into Great Expressions Dental when my job's insurance changed. I went in for 2 routine cleanings and everything was fine. Dr Patel noticed a small chipped cavity and re-filled it...In doing so, she drilled too deep to the point where it was now touching my nerve. I thought the sensitivity would subside after the first month or so. I complained to their office when they followed up and no action was taken from their end. Six months have passed and I have not been able to eat on that tooth and cannot expose it to hot/cold without experiencing sharp pain. Now, the pain is constant and I have to be on Ibuprofen back to back. I got new insurance and got x-rays this morning to check out the pain (image attached). Please look at the x-ray I had taken this morning from my phone (there are time/date stamps in the photo -- this is not from google). I will explain how to read it. The nerves in the teeth are the black lines. In all of my other teeth, there is significant space between the nerves (black lines) and cavities (white tops). However... the nerve in the tooth that is circled is TOUCHING the cavity (the white part on top) that Dr Patel drilled. She did not inform me before touching up this cavity that it was close to a nerve and that nerve damage was a risk (something my other dentist told me should be discussed up front). Dr Patel was negligent to my nerves (even after taking x-rays) and as a result, gave me a botched cavity that caused irreversible nerve damage. As a result, I now have to get a root canal to remove the nerve, as well as a crown (resulting in about $3000 with everything included). I am under the profound suspicion that this was malicious medical malpractice. I'm appalled. Regretful. And deeply furious.
