Ashvin I. Patel, M.D.

Dr Patel Gives excellent care incredibly perceptive and kind. He fixed my back after everyone told me not to have back surgery and I feel a 97% pain relief. He explains everything and his PA's are incredible they are always there to answer questions and help!!! Barbara S.

He is a wonderful Doctor, very caring and always has time for your questions.

Grateful to have his expertise.

Thorough, knowledgeable, & caring. Spent quality time with us explaining the many complex issues regarding my back. Very impressed.

Thorough, efficient, knowledgeable and caring.

Very impressive

Great doctor !! Identifies the problem and then gets it done !!

Very thorough and caring. Explained my mri and conditions clearly.

Dr. Patel is a very conscientious, caring and excellent surgeon! My comments regarding the check-in experience, do not apply to him, it was another doctor, whom I was seeing in the same building.

Does good job,.

Very caring

I should have knelt down. Answered all my questions without me going into detail. The best back doctor in this area. And, a wonderful attitude to match. Thank you, but a five month wait.

He is fantastic

I had neck pain, stiffness for over 10 yrs. Every yr got worse. I tried massages, physical therapy, steroid injections, ablations, stem cell, all kinds of pills, Finally after being tired & desperate I started looking for best dr I could find near me. I made appointment & Dr Patel was honest said there was no guarantee other than I would be in less pain. I still waited a year & finally talked myself into surgery. He did 3 fusions & removed 3 disks. I am 74 yrs old but I am finally feeling normal. I would say pain is 75% better but believing I will be 100% soon. Dr Patel gave me my life back. By the way he has an awesome team, Scott, Adam & Sara.

Awesome Doctor, very informative, gives great directions to patients and helps patients get better, does not push surgery. Worries about the patient and how they are doing. Geat group in the office

Always very thorough and regards surgery as the last option

Sara is wonderful. Very knowledgeable. Very professional.

Thank you for your help I appreciate you

Dr Patel was thorough, personable, and caring. I'm so pleased to have found him and his staff is pleasant to deal with.

Great experience! Thanks!

Dr. Patel's PA, SCOTT D. TALBERT was fantastic!

So happy to be his patients and his PA Scott is wonderful as well. Going to Dr Patel lecture this afternoon

Dr Patel is a rare “ throw back “ style doctor that really cares about his patient first, foremost and always above all else. It’s the only thing that could possibly over shadow his impeccable skills. Trust me. There is no one better in his field.

Great advise and working with me to not have surgery.

They are amazing. Highly recommend

Excellent! Knowledgeable, kind and spends ample time with me on follow up visits!

We waited 2 1/2 hrs to see Dr Pate. When he did come in he was very rushed, took a phone call from another doctor and was a couple times when he interrupted at least once. I just didn’t feel good about my visit with him at all. The only saving grace was Sara who explained everything so well.

We didn't get to see Dr but met with his PA who is also wonderful.

very thorough with my condition and came to a solution that was best suited for my back pain.

Very caring Doctor. He takes his time and listens

Excellent practitioner. Dr. Patel and his staff are wonderful. Thanks.

Top Notch!Love Dr.Patel.

My surgery went extremely well and the care I have received both before and after are second to none.

Caring professional

Dr. Patel gave me my life back. The spinal fusion he performed allowed me to resume normal activities. Thank you!

Wonderful surgeon and great to talk to. He takes his time with you. My surgery went really well.

The greatest doctor/ person I ever had the pleasure to be seen by. I wish he could take care of all my medical needs. Carleen barnett

Nice group

Kind, considerate, good physician, cares about his patients, knowledgeable

Super qualified! The best in the business

Dr. Patel was very thorough and explained my problem in detail to me. I am very impressed as well with his staff…very professional.

He was running behind so I felt rushed like he just wanted to get past me and to the next patient. This after waiting weeks to see him and review my MRI and X-rays. Went to him for a reason, unhappy with a previous surgery and his decision was to send me back to the surgeons I was already unhappy with. Not what I was looking for, I had told him that I didn’t want to go back to them!

Very personable, professional, had a humor side, explained well .

Clear, concise, great explation of condition.

His PA saw me and he was terrific!

Excellent doctor, very caring an

Late seeing me. Poor attitude, as I I Little help help by surgery on Feb 6, 2017, but left with severe peripheral neuropathy, loss of balance & severe spinal displacement (mid back & neck bent forward) loss of all tlife's normal activities for both me & caregiving partner. Sorry, I expected more than rejection of my visit, after waiting 3 months for appointment!

Dr. Patel is a great physician and spent time explaining all the different medical issues to me and gave me a clear understanding of what my course of treatment would be I would highly recommend him to anyone with a bad condition.

Dr Patel is brilliant, kind, extremely competent. He always takes time with every patient.

8 weeks after my surgery I have pain in my groin and hip and all I wish is that things would move faster to find out the cause.

Very knowledgeable.

Listened and assessed, with great care plan to address my issues. Happy he’s been my MD for years, even though I haven’t needed to see him in many years.

Dr. Patel is one of the most compassionate doctors. And so is his team Scott and Chris. I highly recommend him for any of your neurosurgery needs. Werner Beck

Dr Patel is a wonderful doctor. We are so fortunate to have such a highly skilled and compassionate surgeon in Sarasota.

Incredible doctor and his care.

Professional and caring

I only wish there was some kind of answer, help for my constant neck pain but appreciate your honesty and referral to colleague…

Always there for you, makes you feel comfortable !! He explains everything in a manner that makes you know that he cares !!

A very wonderful doctor I was very impressed how absolutely wonderful it’s a wonderful bedside manner and very gracious and very thorough and I’m very very happy I met him

Experienced, personable and true professional

He was wonderful.

Late for appointment. Talked in highly technical terminology. Too much time spent with trainees. Lead conversation to surgery when I had no such inclination.

Dr. Patel is a very knowledgeable thoughtful and friendly doctor who puts you at ease talking to him. He takes his time to explain everything to you and doesn't rush you out. I feel very fortunate to have been able to have him as my doctor and will definitely recommend him to anyone who needs a remarkable surgeon.

Very attentive. Really cares for his patients.

Wait time not good

I was in terrible pain and waited to be seen for well over an hour. Once in a room, my treatment was excellent.

Dr. Patel is kind. Although he is very busy, he makes the time to listen to me, to explain things, and to answer my questions.

Very professional and informative regarding care plan.

Everyone was very helpful. All our questions were answered and we were given helpful information.

Dr Patel is not only a talented surgeon but he take time to listen and reassure the patient. I’ve had a difficult spinal surgery but Dr Patel has reassured me at every inch of my recovery. He’s a very special person. ??

Always takes the time to answer all my questions and explain everything until I understand completely.

As always the consummate professional. A pleasure to work wiith.

He is very knowledgeable and answered all my questions.

Best of the best!!!

Listens- so important when diagnosis is difficult!

Excellent, easy to work with

Dr. Patel is the best doctor! He really cares about his patients and tries to do everything he can to give you the best care!

He continues to show deep and honest concern for my well-being. I am confident that he is looking out for my best interests in the decisions we make together.

Excellent. Outstanding.

Dr. Patel very efficient and excellent supporting staff

Amazing doctor!!!

It is hard to rate Dr. Patel as I saw him for approximately 60 seconds. I spent more time with his PA, Scott Talbert.

Appreciate the time he took to explain things

Very knowledgeable and expedient.

Dr. Patel is really great to work with. He is so capable and can explain everything so clearly. He is great to work with.

Both Dr. Patel and his excellent PA Scott are excellent,

Always great!

Superbly trained, technically capable and sensitive to patient's needs, Dr. Patel is the best surgeon that I have used since my graduation from medical school in 1960. Peter Ralph Noel Chatard, Jr., M.D., F.A.C.S.

His compassion is exceeded by his skill in spinal surgery. It is a gift to be able to restore pain free living following stenosis and disc herniation. . I wouldn’t recommend anyone else if you need a neurosurgeon.

We waited way to long for the dr….. you need to look at spacing out appt so the wait isn’t as long….. our overall appt was 3 hr

Communicative and professional

Dr Patel took the time to sit and explain all of my problems in my back and answer all my questions. Would definitely recommend him.

He is very nice and I felt very comfortable to have him do my surgery. Scheduled in July. Scott was great also. In fact everyone I came in contact today made a nervous time much better

The doctors and staff were great. The wait was really long (over an hour), But, worth it. The waiting areas were freezing. Should remind patients to wear winter clothes??

He listens, is knowledgeable and knows what to do to solve issues. He also seems to care about his patients rather than rush and thus perhaps miss something important. He works very hard.

Top of the line. Very personable. And accomplished. Should teach other doctors how to deal with patients.& staff . Extremely happy I was recommended by my general practice doctor. Dr Patel has a earned respectful reputation.

He is very professional and precise.

He is very kind and very thorough. I feel very comfortable under his care

The Doctor was great, but the two hour wait was not.

Dr.Patel gave me my life back My fussion surgery of my L5 S1 was a total success. I would recommend his surgical skills.

Throu

Dr. Patel and Scott have been taking care of my back since 2005. Would not dream of going to another doctor

Great bedside manner. Explained everything in detail. Great guy!

Dr. Patel did a very successful laminectomy that relieved major pain in my legs. Highly recommend him!

Professional, thorough, listens to patient, addresses concerns

Great visit today. Bringing closer to my back issue Talked about a mutual friend. Surgery scheduled. ??

I meet with Dr. Patel’s PA Scott yesterday he was also in my surgery and was able to explain everything they did in my surgery. I was pleased with his knowledge and his understanding of my healing process. He and I were pleased with my progress.

He is the greatest!!!!

Expertly diagnosed my severe nerve pain. Surgery performed 4 weeks ago and 100% of nerve pain is gone. Very pleased and highly recommend Dr Patel

So grateful he stepped in as consultant on my orthopedic issue. Seemed genuinely concerned about getting the right care and diagnosis. Very nice man and has a good patient/physician interaction.

The best!

This doctor has the best bedside demeanor, knowledge and professionalism. A one of a kind in his field. I highly recommend him.

Knows his stuff

absolutely the BEST spinal surgeon. Wonderful results.

He was very good and

A most wonderful Doctor

Long wait but worth it .

I would have given him 5 stars, but leaving someone with back pain waiting for 2 hours, was really excruciating

So thankful to the absolute best surgeon who has helped so many people! My cervical disc replacement surgery has shown amazing results! Thank you to Dr. Patel and his staff!

Professional, through, and explained the smallest details completely.

I actually met with Scot today.

I feel very comfortable with Dr Patel. My only concern is how rushed and distracted he is. He doesn’t always focus on the scans before deciding if or if there isn’t a problem. This is the second time that he discovered an abnormalities that are related to my clinical presentation. It is very concerning when it comes to deciding on the clinical plan. It erodes my confidence in him. When things are aren’t focused on.

Extremely professional, courteous and thorough. Explained in a way that was very understandable to me.

Gifted surgeon

Knowledgeable and caring. I have complete confidence Dr Patel

Very thorough, Answered all questions.

Fue un placer su atención,,,y se que voy a necesitar aún más x mi salud ,,,un exelente doctor ,,

Surgery was successful and no pain after 5 weeks. Dr. Peter is a great doctor! His PA Scott is highly qualified also. The staff is friendly and efficient. I highly recommend his office.

Great Physician

He’s great

A long wait

Very thorough and clear

Great Doctor. Very thorough and courteous. He spends as much time with you as you need and doesn’t rush you.

Very pleasant, explained things very clearly

Dr Patel performed 4 Surgeries and I found him to be very knowledgeable. He is most professional and caving. Wish he would spend

Only wants to do surgery. No consideration of other options such as injections and PT. Waste of 2 hours seeing him. Didn’t even go over my neck issues said I needed another appt for that and would only look at my lower back. Very disappointed with him. My husband is a doctor and was not impressed with Dr. Patel

Very caring and dedicated practitioner. I respect his knowledge and recommendations. Although his practice is very busy, he takes time to listen and be thorough.

Awesome Dr. !!

Knowledgeable, and personable! Needs to slow down and speak slower.

Excellent care. Dr Patel and Scott explained my surgery. Very professional

Dr. Patel is a very caring doctor who listens carefully giving you his full attention while asking constructive questions.

You may have to wait beyond your appointment time but that's because Dr. Patel takes whatever time is necessary for each patient. He's worth waiting for.

Best surgeon ever

dr patel puts u at ease right away. not bad looking either.

My first visit

He is always running late so it's best to take the earliest appointment possible.

Excellent doctor. Up to date with new procedures. Caring, empathetic.

Detail oriented but understandable and caring

He is wonderful !!!??

exceptional surgeon

Excellent professional knows what he’s doing. Good support team and PA. My operation was a success. Instills confidence.

Service was good, thorough and friendly. My only complaint is the long wait for the appointment and the long wait the day of the appointment.

Very dismissive, waited 2hours 20mins for a 3pm appointment. Ok, he was backed up, it happens, i can get passed that. Once I got in the room and he began the exam he told me I was crying too much... im sorry im in excrutiating pain. Finishes physical exam and dictates his notes, and i begin to start speaking he opens the door and walks out of the room! I said excuse me, he says what were done here. I said I have questions, he says but I just spent 45mins with you. No sir you spent 25.

Dr Patel is an excellent surgeon but communicating with him is not always easy. His brain is always moving 3 steps ahead of the last question he asked.

Confident, knowledgeable, explains his thoughts on how to help his clients

I appreciated that you apologized for my 1 hr wait.

Long wait time

Excellent outcome from my surgery in a relatively short amount of time. Positive personality, Knowledge, experience and talent all in one physician.

Dr.Scott & Dr. Patel are amazing

As always, Dr. Patel was kind, compassionate, and to the point. He explained things in terms anyone could understand. He is a wonderful surgeon who goes above and beyond for his patients. A five star rating is simply not enough!

Very conscientious & concerned. Great bedside manner.

Dr. Patel is a brilliant and talented surgeon, yet he is also a down-to-earth and personable provider, willing to give the time and explanations you need. A joy to visit, and that's saying a lot for a doctor's appointment!

Very experienced and caring. I feel completely comfortable and confident with having Dr Patel perform my surgery!

Wait time is unacceptable. I had an appointment w/ the Dr. but instead the P.A. came in - that was unacceptable as well. I made the appt. to see Dr. Patel and I should have been seen by him.

So is doctor Scott both excellent and Chris makes it happen

Excellent, very personable Direct

Had Scott He is great!

He's the best !

Dr Patel and his staff are highly skilled. I could not have found a better surgeon to solve my back problem.

He listened to me!

Dr Patel is incredibly compassionate. I feel he speaks directly to me with honesty and I value his experience and knowledge.

Dr Patel took a lot of time with me during a busy day! First visit and I’m confident in the path we are taking for my healing!

Very thorough and knowledgable. Very nice person.

I had spinal fusion with excellent results

Dr. Patel is one of the nicest doctors I've had the pleasure to be a patient of and other doctors I've mentioned his name to have said how good he is. I would highly recommend him.

Dr. Patel is fabulous and made my life enjoyable again. He is a straight shooter and incredibly talented. He took the time to explain and show me what was wrong with my back in detail and how he was going to fix it. His PA, Scott , and his nurse, Christina,were terrific as well. I don’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Patel as I strongly believe he is the best.

Explains X-rays, etc. in detail! Very through. Additionally Dr Patel offers literature and a seminar for patient’s total understanding.

Professional, knowledgeable, detailed, informative, dedicated.

Superior experience. Dr Patel is professional, knowledgeable, but he also has a warm, humanistic and caring side! Perfect combo.

Excellent

A highly skilled and talented surgeon, yet down to earth and very personable. He takes extra care to keep family informed, and to visit patient and stay in contact even during his personal time. Attentive yet efficient!

Thorough, precise and pragmatic in his approach to a diagnosis and proposed treatment plan.

Waited 1.5 hours after my appointment time before i was seen.

Proposed several solutions for my spinal issues, listened to my concerns, and did not pressure to make a decision immediately. I will return to see him when I have had time to read his literature and make a decision.

maybe a good surgeon but he is a terrible listener

Very good initial meeting. I require additional testing (MRi) before definitive diagnosis made. But he was able to zero in on probable cause. Unfortunately I need to wait approximately one week to get the MRI and next visit. This leaves me still in pain and unable to walk. Can't wait to get that MRI and get this issue solved!

always been honist with me, appreciate all have done for me

I waited two months to see Dr Patel because I have severe scoliosis and I wanted to discuss with him everything I was doing. I kept calling to see if he had any cancellations prior to my appointment and in the meantime got my xrays done and worked out with a PT. When I finally got there I was seen by his assistant and they referred me to Dr. Nguyen. They had to retake my xrays at the end of my appointment and they never actually saw them. Very upset and disappointed.

waited for 2 h

Dr Patel is very thorough, efficient, patient, answered my questions and was genuinely interested in my progress and expected outcome.

Sometimes have too wait far too long psst appointment time. Today's experience was much bettet.

Poor bedside manner, waiting time can be 2 hours...he overbooks patients. Not sure how successful his surges are either.

Dr. Patel and Scott were great! Kind, patient, and thorough. Took time to communicate and explain all films and care. My visit was very positive. Professional and caring.

Very thorough review and evaluation,,,

Professional and caring!

Dr. Patel is professional, competent and caring! This was a pre surgical visit and as busy and hectic as the office was he took his time explained everything that was wrong and procedurally how he was going to fix it. He is the best!

Love him! Changed my life and am very grateful. Refer him to everyone .

Dedicated, concern for his patients, accomplished

Very talented and knowledgeable surgeon. I feel very lucky to be his patient

Very thorough, very intelligent, very pleasant to deal with

He is the BEST

Dr. Patel exceeded are expectations.

Excellent doctor and surgeon. Scott is very compassionate and they make a great team.

All my pain in my hip & leg are gone. I have had no residual pain. I have healed nicely. Everything has gone perfectly!

Great doctor who cares about his patients.

BEST DOC EVER

Help me out a great deal. Great surgent

Dr. Patel is the best of the best!! I feel so comfortable and confident knowing he will do my surgery. He is kind and explains everything...answers all my questions. I wish there were 10 stars to give him!!

Appointments are ALWAYS One (1) to Two (2) HOURS BEHIND Schedule. Dr needs to take on LESS patients so his time management improves.

He is the absolute best. He did an anterior and posterior L5 S1 fusion with some additional work on L4 at SMH on Wed. 6/19. Went home Fri. 6/21 and am walking without the buttock and leg pain experienced pre surgery.

Very good doctor, great bedside manners, kind and knowledgeable.

The only thing you go to the off his office bring a sweater it's cold in there

A wonderful caring man. He doesn't rush into quick decisions. I feel lucky he is my Doctor I'm sure you will be impressed

A very caring doctor about His patients.

After checking for the Best surgeon to do the operation on my back I chose Dr. Patel. I am pleased so far with the operation results. I seen him today and my wife and I were happy with his a valuation of the procedure.

Waited 90 minutes never got called. I walked out of office. Mind you I waited a month to get appointment. Good doctors are hard to find....will keep looking

Great doctor. I trust him 100 percent
