My index finger was severely injured. Dr. Patel preformed the repair surgery. He explained the procedure, answered my questions and checked in on me prior to surgery. Outstanding work. In a heartbeat I would go to him again.
Very professional and excellent at his job
I just had my 2nd hand surgery under Dr. Maharsh Patel. I had carpal tunnel surgery last April 2024 & had a ganglion cyst & calcium deposit removed today. Dr. Patel has a wonderful bedside manner, he’s easy to talk to and explains everything in detail-which is very important to me. I really like and appreciate his professionalism. If you’re looking for a great hand/Orthopaedic doctor; I highly recommend you use him. (I’ll be going back to him for surgery on my left hand as well.)
Very knowledgeable. Take the time to listen & explain everything. Wonderful bedside manners.
Good doc, straightforward and bright.
