Dr Patel is the best! He explains things well and offers videos to help the patient navigate treatment and recovery. He is always booked out a few weeks, but I will gladly wait if I can see him if it is not urgent! Thank you, Dr Patel!
I saw Dr. Patel’s PA. He was excellent today.
I didn't actually see Dr. Patel. I was there for an MRI.

Dr. Patel is amazing! He fixed my right shoulder in 2017 and will be fixing my left in 2025. He is thorough, patient, caring and straight forward with the diagnosis. He listens, explains things exactly as you need to hear and understand them and is the only person I would trust to operate on me!
Very through and explains everything well
