Myself & my family have been going to Chrysalis Dental Practice for many years now & have always felt very comfortable and at ease attending the practice. Our personal dentist is Dr Jayna Patel, she is so friendly, knowledgeable & professional and makes you feel at ease as soon as you walk through her door! She is interested in you & asks about you and does not just get you in the seat & back out of the door! If you're someone who is a bit scared of going to the Dentist, then believe me this is the place to go….very happy with the service we all receive 😊,

I honestly can’t thank Dr Minesh Patel enough. From start to finish, the care, patience, and attention to detail were outstanding. I recently had a new crown fitted, and the result is amazing — it looks completely natural. He took the time to make sure everything was just right and made me feel at ease throughout the whole process. Thanks to Dr Patel, I’ve got my confidence and my smile back. I can finally smile, talk, and laugh without feeling self-conscious. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled, professional, and genuinely caring dentist.

The problem was analysed tooth was extracted and the infection disappeared. My son was quite literally in tears with joy afterwards and said to me that the dentist probab…

Furthermore, to add to my previous review for Minesh Patel, I completely forgot to mention how incredible he was when I was suffering with horrendous wisdom tooth pain. He took me on as a patient without a second thought and arranged for me to have all four wisdom teeth extracted extremely quickly. The whole procedure took around 30 minutes from start to finish and was completely pain-free. I am so pleased with all the treatment I have received at Chrysalis. Minesh is a truly exceptional dentist – professional, efficient, and genuinely caring. A well-deserved 5⭐ dentist and team. I’m so gr…
