My visit with Dr. Patel went very well. He had 2 students with him that he introduced. He went over my MRI with me and explained what I was looking at and everything is as it should be at this time in my recovery. I was pleasantly surprised by the mini movies explaining where and what I should be in my recovery. I hope I don't have to have surgery again but if I do I will definitely have Dr Patel take of it!

Today was a recheck from my rotator cuff surgery. Dr. Patel was very encouraging with my progress and explained everything in detail. He let me know to expect it to take a year to heal but I was ahead of the game. He addressed other pain in my back and gave me an injection. He had two interns and patiently described detail what the bursa is and how it related to my pain. I appreciate his down to earth manner and care he takes with his patients.rater8 Verified Patient

I know that because at 7 weeks after Dr Patel implanted my shoulder, I only notice pain when I move in a certain spot. It's getting better with exercising and a few more weeks of PT. I don't have the constant pain I had before this implant. I already have my other shoulder scheduled for another reverse total implant. Just 12 weeks from the first surgery. Also, l experienced very little pain after the nerve block was removed. Thank you again Dr Patel.

Dr. Patel was genuinely concerned about the pain in my wrist. He examined it and asked pertinent questions. As the prior X-ray of the wrist was over 10 years old, he ran a new one for comparison.
