Listened to my concerns after 20 minutes of me, speaking all the issues that I’ve had for the last three years he smiled and said I know exactly what you have. I thought due to all the suffering I’ve had to undergo the last three years I was desperate and he hit it right on the nose with a medication have been able to sleep and I have not cleared my throat for the last Five days. Thank you Lord for Dr. Patel.

Very professional and helpful, and did amazing work with diagnosis and treatment. For my follow up appointment was in a bit of a rush and I would have liked more time to discuss. If you come early he treats you early which is lovely, although coming on time meant I was seen a bit late
