The doctor barely spent anytime explaining the possible reasons for my condition and seemed distracted. Took a call from a colleague while he was in the room with me and seemed rushed where one couldn't ask any more questions.

Terrific bedside manner and patient, thoughtful, and complete responses to my questions.

Very knowledgeable. Confident and thoughtful for sure. His referral was to an office with incredibly poor service. For my simple scenario I’d have preferred a better practice to be referred to. I did not have a bad medical experience but the office kept me waiting over 55 mins for 2 of 3 visits.

If ever you need your neck or back taken care of, Dr. Patel is THE MAN! It’s really as simple as that.

In no time at all, Dr, Patel identified and showed me evidence of problem that had been bothering me for some time. I look forward to him attacking the problem so I will be able to function 100% again.

Dr. Patel gave me good advice for my neck and back problem and he prescribed a physio therapy program for me.

Great surgeon. Compassionate and very talented.

Dr. Patel is both a friend and an excellent doctor--glad he's there to help take care of me.

Exceptional care

Dr. Patel is an excellent doctor and surgeon, He gave me my life back. It was clear right away that I needed surgery given my extreme sciatic pain and inability to walk. After lying on my back for two months, I walked out of surgery and never looked back. He won’t recommend surgery unless you need it and it will help. I highly recommend him.

Exceptional, professional and personal. You truly cannot ask for more. He is a doctor’s doctor. I mean that sincerely.

Makes complex situations understandable. Knows what he is talking about

I think Dr.Patel is one of the world’s finest surgeon’s.

He was lovely, patient and reassuring.

I had a wonderful experience, Dr. Patel treated me with such kindness & put my surgical fears to rest with his knowledge & kind reassurance that all would be well. He truly cares about his patients & that means more to me than anything else.

An inspiration and a medical breath of fresh air! In 2021! Dr. Patel took his time, established a relationship, did a real hands on exam, discussed my medical circumstances, pointed me to more clinical data and set a plan to proceed. I’m told he’s the absolute best at his trade - but never expected he would be so engaging.

Serious and efficient. Communicates clearly.

Dr. Patel is a very compassionate and caring physician. I never feel rushed and he patiently answers all of my questions. I know that he only does surgery when needed so I had total faith in him when he said I needed it a month ago. It helped tremendously! This was my second surgery with Dr. Patel. I would highly recommend Dr. Patel!

It was amazing to see such professionalism, everyone, drs, staff, support all worked so well together. Going back to have spinal and hip surgery.

I feel like Dr. Patel listens to me and does his best to help me solve my health issue.

Took the time to not only answer all my questions, but arranged a hard to schedule second opinion with another surgeon to ensure I was comfortable with his diagnosis.

I love Dr. Patel, he obviously cares about his patients and is kind, understanding, and most of all respects his patient's needs, wishes, and fears. I wish all Dr's were like him, I adore him and am grateful to him for all his help! Gulay Hawkins

Excellent Doctor

This man is amazing! Assured me that my upcoming surgery for stenosis would go well, enlightened me about the recovery process, conferred with my primary care physician, made all arrangements with his helpful assistant and show me pictures of others who had the same operation. His bedside manner exudes confidence, caring and total competence.

He’s always excellent!

He is an expert in his field. As his patient I felt confident in his skill for a successful outcome in a complicated and frightening surgery.

Always provides outstanding service to his patients.

My second consultation with Dr. Tushar Patel. My medical condition is on the more complex side. Dr. Patel was very professional, knowledgeable, and explained the next medical steps for me, which will help me make a very conscious decision moving forward at my age, with the condition that I have.

Dr. Patel's professionalism, pleasant manner and detailed explanation of my MRI pictures was uplifting. I now have hope that my quality of life can be improved and I plan to follow his advice.

Dr Patel is always helpful and approachable as well as a wonderful surgeon. He always gives me great medical advice and is there for me when I need him.

Dr Patel is an excellent doctor . Very caring. Smart, answers questions,

Dr. Patel is truly amazing and always goes above and beyond for his patients. Very lucky to gave him as my doctor!

Dr. Patel is a truly gifted surgeon technically, but he also goes well above and beyond to heal and care for his patients.

Dr. Patel is truly one of the most trusted & well respected specialists in all of NoVa! I am so eternally grateful for his expertise and the time he spent with me on May 03. I’ll be in debt (for a lifetime) to the beautiful friend who referred me to Dr. Patel because I know that I’m already on the “path of healing” in his care! Ps... his staff is extraordinary, too!

Clear, direct diagnosis and discussion of diagnosis and plan for treatment.

Very thorough, helpful. Takes time to explain everything!

Dr. Patel is by far the best! I feel like I am in great hands as he explains everything in detail and truly cares. I highly recommend Dr. Patel if you are looking for an exceptional doctor.

Dr Patel is the best Doctor ! Very professional

Simply put, Dr. Patel is the best in the business. I had a surgical fusion (C5-C6) in 2010 and have never had any related pain since. He is who I would send my mother, grandmother, or child to. 10/10, 5 stars, two thumbs up.

He’s amazingly knowledgeable

My first visit with Dr Patel but very positive experience. Of course, time will tell if the problem is solved.

Dr. Patel looked at my record and knew exactly what my issues were!

I almost never give anyone or anything five stars. WOSM and Dr. Patel are an exception. The experience is like visiting an old-fashion doctor who knows and cares for his patients. But, there nothing old-fashion about the treatments. WOSM is first class medical care delivered with first class personal interactions.

Professional/ positive/ instills confidence

Dr. Patel never rushes through an appointment and always makes you feel comfortable about the path he recommends.

Dr. Patel was kind, funny, made me feel comfortable, and was very clearly quite knowledgeable!

Excellent doctor and gentleman.

Dr. Patel is a fantastic surgeon. I highly recommend him. He’s smart, kind, and extremely talented as a surgeon and doctor.

The best ortho surgeon.

I think Dr. Patel is one of the best Ortho doctors in the area. I am so lucky to have him as my doctor. I recommend him all of the time.

Excellent, explained treatment options clearly.

Dr. Patel is very thorough in explaining the situation and inspires great confidence. I plan to have him to my neck surgery and would recommend him highly.

Dr Patel takes the time necessary to make sure his patient understands everything and is left with no questions. Cannot ask for anything more in a surgeon

Dr Patel was straight up Neck Surgery first then Back Surgery

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.

Dr Patel was great. Easy to speak with, actually listened. Very knowledgeable and had good diagnostic knowledge

As a fellow surgeon, I can say Dr. Patel is extremely professional and also compassionate. He instilled great confidence in just a single consultation.

Better is not to be had!

He is very knowledgeable and very caring

With all due respect we should have had a teleconference with dr. Patel instead of making my mother come in with excruciating pain (81yearsold), just to tell us that he can’t do the injection of cement . He had our records and images ahead of time and should have just had a teleconference and refer us to the doctor who actually does the injection. Instead, we came into the office (Long drive) just to be told that we need to go to a different doctor. This is just very bad bed manners. When your patient is in pain doctors need to try to accommodate their patients.

Very professional and knowledgeable . Would highly recommend.

He is always so pleasant!

Dr. Patel explained my condition to me, gave me what he considered to be my best options, and went out of his way to schedule an appointment for me with another physician. I very much appreciate his personal connection with me. Thank you, Dr. Patel.

So helpful

Excellent visit with Dr. Patel.

Very professional - answered all of questions.

Best provider and care for his patient

my options were discussed fully with me

This is a fine doctor.

Outstanding doctor! Could not have chosen a better surgeon for my neck surgery. Fantastic team and great customer service.

Dr. Patel is a kind, thoughtful, and intelligent gentleman - exactly the kind of doctor one hopes to be lucky enough to find, but seldom does anymore.

First time somebody seemed to really want to figure out why I’m having pain in my neck. Hoping the investigation wuill being a successful outcome.

I’ve been to other Orthopedic Surgeons in the past and none of them even comes close to Dr Patel’s knowledge, caring bedside manners, ability to quickly get to the root cause of my cervical pain and surgical skill to fix the issues. If I could give him 10 stars, I would! If you have issues with your spine, don’t even think about seeing anyone else, Dr Patel is the best period!!

Always on target.

Top notch surgeon! I would highly recommend Dr. Patel to anyone.

Very thorough and professional. Relaxing and easy manner helped my visit.

Excellent surgeon with impeccable bedside manner!

Caring doctor who takes the time to listen to you and answer your questions. Explains your diagnosis thoroughly and gently.

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.

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.

Dr. Patel is an outstanding surgeon and his office is the most professional that I have worked with. He not only a world-class expert but a kind human being. I am recovering from a complex cervical surgery and I feel great.

Dr. Patel was patient and explained the medical issue with my neck and gave me options for treatment. I felt confident in his expertise and his bedside manner.

Very knowledgeable and encouraging for patient and family to fully understand the process.

He was friendly, seemed interested in my issue and explained very clearly the options

What can I say. Doc Patel is the man. I walked out of the hospital the same day as surgery and feel great. Two more weeks then back to 100%. I put my life in his teams hands and I could not have been more confident.

Very impressed. Friendly, knowledgeable, thorough and practical.

I feel very confident of Dr. Patel's skill as a surgeon. He certainly did an excellent job describing my vertebrae issues.

Top tier doctor at at top notch practice - highly recommend!

Awesome! Very knowlegable. Thorurgh discussion of proplems and solutuons.

Dr. Patel spent time to explain and review my radiology imaging with me. He answered all the questions I had and is very approachable. I am thankful I do not need surgery at this time but if I ever do need spine surgery I would chose him.

Tushar is excellent, very knowledgeable, and trustworthy.

I have been attended to by Dr. Patel for over 15 years. I went to him because of his professional reputation and, while this remains the main reason I have continued to trust in him, it also helps that he is a really nice guy who takes time to listen

Totally trust his knowledge

Dr Patel was the third Dr Speialist that I saw about my back problem. He is the first that clearly identifies the problem and has a fix for it. Looking forward to no more pain.

Dr Patel is the top expert in spinal surgery. He does excellent work and his support staff is extremely responsive

Amazing doctor and surgeon!!! Takes the time to explain the medical issues and works with the patient to ensure everything is understood when surgery is needed.

Tushar is the best orthopedic doctor in DC area.

There is no one better than Dr. Patel for cervical/spine surgery. He is the best in the whole region.

Impressed me as a first rate, patient oriented doctor.

Dr. Patel is a true professional. I have found him to be very caring and patient in answering all of my questions.

The surgery Dr. Patel performed repaired my lower spine issues, eliminating the related leg nerve pain. His support staff answering questions with before and after surgery was so helpful.

Everything was top-nothc.

If there were additional stars available, I'd rate him higher. Dr. Patel has changed my quality of life for the better. He's definitely the best when it comes to fixing back and neck problems! I have and would definitely continue to see him again.
