A Personal Note from Dr. Tom


I know Dr. Patel personally and and have spoken with her a number of times. I agree with and support her approach to Mercury Safe, Healthy Dentistry, and know her to be a compassionate, highly trained, skilled biological and mercury free dentist. She fully understands the important relationship between oral and overall health and offers a wide range of healthy holistic treatment options. I am also very impressed by her dedication and concern for her patients overall health and well being and for her concern for the health of the environment.

Her concern for her patients health, her ongoing training in holistic and cosmetic dentistry along with his commitment to safely remove mercury amalgam fillings makes her ideally suited to remove and replace them.

She has completed my course, and received his Certification, in How to Make Your Practice Mercury Safe - Minimizing Occupational Exposure to Mercury in the Dental Office. This is the only course of its kind offered to dentists and qualifies her to safely remove mercury amalgam fillings safely, protecting herself, her staff, her patients and the environment from excessive and unnecessary exposure to mercury at the dental office.

I would not hesitate recommending her to anyone seeking caring, high quality, holistic and mercury free and mercury safe dentistry. Dr. Patel is also a Charter Member in the International Association of Mercury Safe Dentists (IAMSD). I encourage you to visit her creative and informative website to learn more about her approach and philosophy to biological and eco-friendly dentistry. When you visit her office please tell her where you found out about her and say hello to her for me. Thanks!
