Dr Patel is a great person.He listens to the patients concerns. He is caring something you don’t find to often.
10 stars for Dr. Patel! Dr. Patel took excellent care of my son’s hand fracture a few years back, so when I needed orthopedic care recently for my elbow, I knew the right doctor to see. Dr. Patel is very professional, and explains treatment options and expected outcomes thoroughly. You can TRUST that you will get the BEST CARE with Dr. Patel!
