Dr. Patel is a kind, thoughtful, and intelligent gentleman - exactly the kind of doctor one hopes to be lucky enough to find, but seldom does anymore.
First time somebody seemed to really want to figure out why I’m having pain in my neck. Hoping the investigation wuill being a successful outcome.
I’ve been to other Orthopedic Surgeons in the past and none of them even comes close to Dr Patel’s knowledge, caring bedside manners, ability to quickly get to the root cause of my cervical pain and surgical skill to fix the issues. If I could give him 10 stars, I would! If you have issues with your spine, don’t even think about seeing anyone else, Dr Patel is the best period!!
Always on target.
Top notch surgeon! I would highly recommend Dr. Patel to anyone.
Very thorough and professional. Relaxing and easy manner helped my visit.
Excellent surgeon with impeccable bedside manner!
Caring doctor who takes the time to listen to you and answer your questions. Explains your diagnosis thoroughly and gently.
Dr. Patel is one of the most caring doctors I've ever met. He's compassionate, thorough, very clear in explanations, very down to earth. He's not just a doctor, he's a human being. Very calm and reassuring which is important from someone who's going to cut your throat for surgery! I'm almost sorry I've been released from his care!
Best spine surgeon you will ever meet. Reassuring and direct, and superb diagnostician. Has been taking care of my back problems for over 15 years.
