Dr. explained the procedure very well and made me feel comfortable about a decision.
Yes
Very informative, very helpful and the steroid injection made a huge difference. For the first time in months my pain level has greatly decreased
I like his manner of treatment
I was very pleased with Dr.Patel because he listened to what I was going through with all my medical problems and how it's getting difficult not being able to walk, going down the stairs and upstairs because my knees hurt and get swollen.
Very Good Doctor 👍 👏 👌 THANK YOU VERY MUCH 👌
A really nice, caring and personable guy
Dr Aalok was straightforward with me and told me that I can’t give a knee replacement but he’s gonna work on my other knee with gel so I got at least one good knee and that will help a lot he explained everything to me and take your time. It’s a really good doctor and I would recommend him or anybody thank you Doc.
Very professional doctor, my knee has healed very well. I am thankful.
I really love Dr. Patel he got me off the walker i'am in physical therapy but one thing I know if you do as he says and put in the work you'll be alright thank you Dr. Patel
