Dr. Patel is an amazing doctor. He took the time to explain to me in detail what was showing up on my shoulder and neck in both the MRI and the x-ray images, and was very clear about course of action. I can't thank enough Dr. Patel enough for his time and care.
He’s a great doctor, listens and is personable but the wait is too long.
Dr. Patel is without a doubt the Best surgeon in his field and I can’t say enough good things about his surgical staff. I had ACDF surgery about 4 weeks ago and I’ve been impressed at how quickly I’ve recovered. Thank you so very much Dr. Patel.
I felt rather rushed in asking some questions… would have liked more time to discuss my problem
Erudite, extremely skilled and very kind.
Wait was over 40 minutes then doctor took a phone call, disappointing
