I have been seeing Dr. Patel for over 10 years. He is extremely personable and professional. He has an amazing "bedside" manner that immediately puts you at ease when you are dealing with potential life threatening skin conditions.

Very nice Dermatologist that we have found he is more down to treating his patients rather than use their ins. & Medicare to line his pockets! And I must say...he is a nice looking man. This coming from another man!

I have been dealing with a problem for a year and it is too private to share, but I can tell you that I am so pleased with Dr. Patel. He really cares and it shows from the first time he smiles. He is one of the nicest doctors I have ever met. I am so happy I found him. His practice is in an older part of town and a bit of a drive, but he is worth it. While I was waiting in the lobby, one of his patients was from Greenville and told me that he drives over an hour to see him even though there are at least 6 derm offices along the way.

I am very pleased with the care I received at Dr. Patel's office. I felt at ease and everyone in the office really seemed to care about doing a good job. From the lady at the front desk to the lady at the back desk, it was a good experience.

I was so happy with my experience overall. The doctor was nice and had a good personality, but the most important thing was that he knew what he was doing. He found a spot he was really worried about and did a biopsy. When it came back the C-word, he got me to a really good mohs surgeon for treatment. I'm his patient for life!
