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.
Excellent doctor. However I wonder why the medical staff does not wear N95 masks. They were wearing surgical masks which I understand are only 75% or so effective
superb doctor. very skilled. great with patient. Telemedicine appointment went well.
Dr Patel is the best! I’ve known him since 2016, when he operated on my cervical spine, and I consult him wherever I have issues with my back.
Dr. Patel was great in answering our questions about the risks of lower back surgery in a way that we understood. He was extremely thorough in describing the procedure. He made recommendations that were on our best interest. It is very reassuring to have him on out team.
Very Excellent Dr
Dr. Patel was patient and instructive, answering my many questions and exhibiting great "bedside manner" during my first appointment with him.
Dr. Patel is an excellent and compassionate practitioner. He always treated me with kindness and care and accommodated my needs and was sensitive to my pain! I will go back to him if I ever need more care.
Clear and compelling explanation of my ailment; friendly and direct communication.
