He is very pleasant and has a great personality. He is an excellent physician and I highly recommend him. Annette Wilson
I don’t have enough words to say how wonderful and kind hearted Dr Patel is. He is the best surgeon in the DC/VA/MD area. He did an L4L5 laminectomy over 10 years ago and I still feel great thanks to him. I trust him so much that I went back to him for my recent C4-C7 fusion and recovery was quick. His staff is professional and very knowledgeable. Im grateful and fortunate to have found him
Dr. Tushar Patel is the BEST !! He truly cares for his patients. He went above and beyond in his care for me ! I trust him and I highly recommend him.
