Thank you, East Side Smiles, for accepting me as a new patient knowing that I was just visiting Nashville for a few days. Dr. Patel and his dental assistants and hygienist were smart, and efficient but thorough. If it didn’t sound so preposterous, I’d even say it was a pleasant encounter!

Only dentist I trust in Nashville. Everyone there is easy to talk to and doesn’t make it feel like a typical dentist visit. They actually take their time and don’t rush you in and out. You can tell they care about doing things right and making sure you’re comfortable. Solid experience every time I’ve gone. Definitely recommend.
I was very anxious after not going to the dentist for many years. Everyone was very kind and made sure I felt comfortable every step of the entire visit. I felt well informed and was given all my options without any pressure. Had a great experience!
We have been patients of East Side Smiles for over a decade. We have gotten great treatment and trust Dr. Hadley with our dental health. He is measured in his treatment and always honest with what needs to be done. My past cleaning was the best one I have ever had!
My first visit with Smiles - I am relatively new to Nashville - so this visit was for the. To assess what dental work I might need. The staff was wonderful, and the dental assistant (not sure if that’s correct title) explained in detail each step involved in the regular X-rays, 3-D X-rays, photos, etc, as she was preparing for and performing those tasks. Then Dr Patel came in to conduct his examination - and he likewise explained everything he was preparing to do, and then explained his observations in clear and easy to understand terms. We then discussed what should be done sooner rather than later, and what could wait while continuing to monitor those items. He then explained how long it would take to perform the procedures that needed to be addressed now, and told me how long to allow for the next appointment to proceed with those procedures. At all times I was totally comfortable, and left with no questions - everything had been explained. I was impressed that they had the latest and best imaging equipment, and even had the ability to make crowns and caps, rather than having to send molds off to a third party to fabricate. Shortly after leaving, I received a follow up confirming my next appointment. I have to say it was the best 1st visit with a dentist and dental office I have ever had in my 70 years! Lee
