Batavia and Aurora share the same river, and for a lot of Batavia families, that connection extends to sharing a dentist. Whether you're near the Riverwalk and Depot Museum downtown or out toward the Randall Road corridor, the drive to Prairie Street usually takes about 15 minutes — short enough to fit into a lunch break, and close enough that plenty of Batavia patients treat us as their default option rather than a special trip.

We've been practicing in the Aurora area since 1957, long enough to have treated multiple generations of families who first crossed over from Batavia for one reason or another and simply stayed. Dr. Bindi Patel's focus on airway health and preventive care for kids is a common draw, but so is having implants, root canals, veneers, and cosmetic work available from the same three dentists instead of being bounced between specialists across two towns.
