Client Reviews
Vishnu M.
Dr Patton and her team are extremely professional. Dr Patton explained everything precisely before the procedure and she made sure that I was comfortable throughout the procedure. Her dental assistant Jess did a fabulous job and patiently answered all my questions and concerns. Dr Patton and her team have earned my trust.
Florencia K
I have had several appointments since writing this review. My teeth weren’t in the best shape due to avoiding dentists for so long (literal years). I’ve had two thorough cleanings and gum treatments. I had my wisdom teeth taken out. This is a BIG deal because of my dental anxiety and no other place/dentist has made me feel comfortable enough to do so. Dr. Patton called and checked up on me the following day. She just really, really cares for her patients.
Rayan M.
I have been to many dentists but, Dr. Sarah Suki has by far been the best and most pleasant visit ever. She is extremely skilled and knew how to get to the root of my problems and fixed it. I will be a patient of Dr. Sarah Suki for as long as I need a dentist. Extremely detail orientated and has so much integrity and pride in her work. You are guaranteed to be treated right with the one and only Dr. Suki. I will be a patient of hers forever, whether she's working in Houston or any other city :
