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.
Excellent caring physician
Best doctor I've ever had. I've been under his care for about 30 years!

Great doctor. Professional and engaging. Really interested in doing what is best for patient. Wouldn’t want anyone else taking care of me.
