Dr. Sejal Patel is the most awesome Glaucoma Specialist ever! SO incredibly knowledgeable in the lstest/newest treatments of my advanced glaucoma! She is personable yet professional. Caring & compassionate. Came to her with eye pressure of 32 in one eye, 26 in the other. After changes in eyedrops, and eventual cataract surgery with 3-stents inserted in each eye, my pressures have been holding steady at 10 and 8 which is great and such a relief to me. I have the utmost confidence in her expertise and her wonderful care. She is. Without reservation,, the very best! God Bless and I thank you Dr. Patel!!
