Great bedside manner (important to us sufferers), projecting professionalism, compassion, and understanding. Very good!
This was my first appointment with Dr. Patel and it was a most reassuring one. He took the time to go over my MRI in exhaustive detail but in plain English, answering all my questions thoroughly. He also explained the likely future course of action to deal with my complaint. I left the appointment feeling I was in very competent and caring hands.
Still wrong email for private medical info. Bad doctor!
Dr. Patel time to look up previous imaging and factoring in my lifestyle when coordinating a plan of care. Simply the best!
Being one of the top doctors in the area is not enough for Dr. Patel. Somehow he finds time to spend time with and engage his patients to learn more about them as people.
VERY knowledgeable in field, professional, not pushy, offers alternatives to surgery, great Doc
excellent doctor, spend time watching the patient and that you feel comfortable and safe
Very efficient meeting. A A . Courteous gentleman
My office visit with Dr. Patel lasted less than 10 minutes, but I was impressed by his empathy and professionalism. So far, so good! His medical asst. Dana is also excellent.
I think if I spend more time with Dr. Patel he may get an even higher rating.
