I was happy to visit with Dr. Patel. He is a good listener and had a lot of obvious knowledge about knee issues. I had a lot of clarity when I left which is what I needed. My previous provider didn't really get to know the patients individually, so this was a nice change for me. Immediately I understood that this practice was for me. Dr. Patel and his team are tailoring a plan specifically for my personal knee issues. I like that!

Dr. Patel is very nice and kind of funny . I am getting knee injections on my left knee. He is quick and that makes it less painful. He always has a smile on his face , which is very comforting especially while getting my injection.
