Why patients love

Family Dental Center

Selected 5-star reviews

“From the scheduling process all the way up until my appointment, the customer service at Family Dental Center has been warm, polite and exceptional. Dr. Patel was very nice and explained what I needed to do clearly and answered all my questions. I scheduled my next appt for the follow up procedure without any trouble. It was one of the best dental experiences I’ve had since moving to the state of Delaware 8 years ago.”

“I would recommend this place; the payment break down with the front desk was very straight forward and didn’t leave me guessing about what I would be charged. Also, the dental assistant explained everything in detail from the second I walked in and made sure I understood my options and what the next steps were. Also, there was no wait once I checked into the front desk. 10/10”

“The best dental experience I have had since moving to Delaware. The staff is always pleasant and makes the booking process easy. Since I usually book appointments for myself and my daughter, she tries her bast to get us in on the same day. I’ve been coming to the Bear location since early 2023 and have referred to several folks who now go to the Bear & Wilmington locations.”
