Very friendly. Fast talker the only drawback. I didn't even know he had done my eye injection he was so smooth and gentle. His technicians are wonderful also.

I think Dr. Patel is an excellent physician. It’s been two years of varying retina issues and my vision is still good and that’s the best recommendation one can give. I do wish he would spend just a bit more time with me and explain more fully what’s wrong and why he is recommending the treatment he is providing.

I have always appreciated Dr. Patel and his professional staff. However: I do have one minor problem. Occasionally the first person to see me will put both drops to check pressure and the dilation drops in at the same time. This always means a second drop for dilation and more waiting time. It is better to check the pressure first and then add the dilation drops in my opinion.
