My Smile Folsom

So I was a terrified of using a new dentist as I have been with Dr. Patel for over 25 years. I don’t numb well and I’ve had bad experiences as a kid when I was kicked in the face by a horse and needed extensive dental work. Dr. Patel was family to me and knew my husband and all my children. So to have to change was really scary. When I went in for my first appointment, I had no idea Dr. Patel had already left the office for good to retire. The familiar pictures were off the wall, Sonya was not at the front desk and I was just in shock like this is it! I just lost it and the tears started to flow. They offered to reschedule but with 7 kids it’s hard to do that so I bit the bullet and figured if Dr. Patel trusts you, I should at least give Dr. Metsger a chance. Well, turns out, he’s a coo

Dr. Patel is an experienced and knowledgeable dentist. He explained his conservative approach and my treatment plan clearly and was very gentle during the procedure. I had to have a cracked filling replaced and cleaning done. It was totally painless and efficient experience. I’m glad to have found a great dentist in this area. Highly recommend.

I’ve personally known Dr. Metsger for well over a decade and can attest to his high moral standards clinical caliber. I can assure you he wasn’t just thinking of dentin and pulp while he was studying, he thinking of you, of your family. You’re more than a number to him, and you’ll feel that in his presence. Trust your family with him, I’d trust him with mine.

First time trying the dentist he was great and very thorough. And did not hurt at all. I will definitely recommend him

We moved to El Dorado Hills five years ago, but we’ve continued to see our dentist in Folsom—and for good reason. Dr. Patel and Sonya have consistently provided exceptional care over the years. Their professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail have made every visit a positive experience. No matter the issue, they’ve always gone above and beyond to make sure I’m comfortable and well taken care of. Recently, they welcomed a new partner, Dr. Metzger, into the practice. He has been a wonderful addition to the team—kind, professional, and incredibly gentle. His friendly demeanor and caring approach instantly put patients at ease. It’s rare to find a dental team that is not only highly skilled but also genuinely compassionate. We are grateful to have found such a reliable and welcoming
