Helpful in explaining diagnosis
My experience with Dr Patel was great! Talking with him made me understand what is really happening, 1more MRI he asked for as I had brought all my previous tests ordered by another Dr which is also great but I felt more comfortable with Dr Patel, he’s calm , soft spoken and explain in detail what he’ll do . I highly recommend him !
Dr. Patel is an excellent practitioner and a complete professional. In addition, Dr. Patel truly cares about healing his patients and communicates articulately with his patients
In my experience, he is one of the most amazing, wonderful, kind, and protective doctors I have ever encountered. As far as I am concerned, he is one of the most knowledgeable and outstanding persons I have ever encountered. His character and personality are remarkable.
I have been a patient of Dr. Petal for over 20 years. He has performed two major back operations for me, 2003, fusion of L3-L5 lumbar and 2012, fusion of L2-L3, concurrently removing the metal from the first operation. Since those operations, I have ,on several occasions, consulted with Dr. Patel on other recurring back problems as well as related orthopedic issues, i.e., hip pain. From day one Dr. Patel exhibited compassion, patience, and extraordinary competence. He is definitely my “go to” orthopedic physician; truly “the best”.
