The only thing I regret is not being interesting enough to get Dr Patel to stay and chat for a moment longer... both times I've seen him!!! I have nothing but great things to say about him! Thank u Doc
Dr. Patel took the time to explain the possible damage and the surgery needed. He ensured I understood there is a possibility another procedure would have to be done once he assesses the internal damage.
Awesome
Very thorough and explained my upcoming surgery in detail!
Very polite, attentive, and patiently answered my questions
Dr Patel was not only compassionate and informative but also had a great sense of humor. What a wonderful combination. Thanks.
Smart, pleasant, competent...everything you need in a surgeon. I will recommend him to anyone and everyone.
Great guy. Easy to talk with.
Dr. Patel is very knowledgeable and courteous. This was my follow up visit from a E.R., visit and the E.R., P.A., referred me to Dr. Patel. It would have been awesome if my thumb had been examined.
Very professional and straight to the point.
