Mahesh Patel

Specialist OrthodontistDr. Mahesh Patel

My interest in orthodontics was kindled when I took my sister for an opinion about a gap between her upper teeth. I drive past that place on my visits to Leicester. It is now a community centre and I reminisce about how one’s life can be redirected by a chance meeting.

When I was 17 and deciding my career, I went watch my dad work. At that moment I thought ‘this is what I want to do’.. Fundamentally what made a mark, was the ability to help, connect and work collaboratively with others. Since a young age I enjoyed working precisely with my hands, I had now found a way to connect and help with this skill.

What Our Patients Say

Whilst we have treated over 33,000 patients since 1988, here are some recent testimonails.

Fatima Awow
I highly recommend Dr Patel and First Ortho!

For anyone that is considering orthodontics, regardless of age, I highly recommend Dr Patel and First Ortho! I was actually a patient here almost 10 years ago and I decided to revisit due to their high quality of care.

Claire Franklin
I feel so lucky to have Mr Patel.

I personally don’t think you really wont find another orthodontist as exceptional as Mr Patel. I would recommend him and his team to anyone and will use him for both my children when they need treatment.

Claudia Leachman
Dr Patel & his team couldn’t do more for me!

The change in my teeth already is amazing (especially my lower arch) and I’d recommend this practise to anyone looking for a highly talented orthodontist.

Paris Rathore
I personally recommend him

Dr Patel has been my orthodontist for years and I personally recommend him as he is the best at what he does. How he cares for your teeth and the excellence in the whole orthodontist surgery itself.

Abid
Life-saving for my teeth

The advice & tips given was life-saving for my teeth and guided me on Proper Oral Healthcare. 10/10 Orthdontist, defo recommended!

Rebecca
Always so welcoming & very thorough

My son can see my beaming smile instead of me covering my face, hiding what used to be my biggest insecurity. So thankful for all of Dr Patels care & service.
