Dr Patel is always a pleasure to see. She is always calm, professional and transparent. She’s a KEEPER!!
Dr. Patel is a fabulous ophthalmologist. I had severely dry eyes and she was relentless in her pursuit of helping correct the problem. She happens to also be a lovely person which is an added bonus.
Very able and Informative
Professional & cordial, as always.
Dr. Patel is a wonderful doctor as all the other doctors at Metro Eye Care. She is kind, extremely knowledgeable and has worked with me through my eye issues. All these doctors know all their patients needs and work together. I wouldn’t consider going anywhere else.
The examination was fine, but the wait was LONG!!!
Great doctor
Professional approach Explained everything in detail
Dr. Patel was thorough and thoughtful when examining my eyes and listening to my concerns. She was friendly, positive, and I’m happy to place the care of my eyes into her good hands!
Dr. Patel is so involved with her patient care, including any physical conditions that have occurred between visits to the point of asking if the symptoms have resolved or changed in any way. Most physicians just touch on the subject. however, Dr. Patel actually is interested enough to ask detailed questions. I am so thankful that she is my doctor.
