I have been VERY pleased with the care I received from Dr. Patel. I felt comfortable with him from beginning to end. He was knowledgeable, professional and caring. He talked to me and not at me, and was a very good listener. Surgery on Thursday afternoon and back to work Monday feeling good! I am 60 years old so that is awesome!!

Dr. Patel was very caring and respectful to me and my significant other. He did not talk over our heads nor did he treat us as though we were stupid. He was not arrogant in any way. He was easy to talk to. I had no surgery complications and I feel fantastic 1 week after having my gall bladder removed. If I ever need a surgeon in the future I will contact Dr. Patel.

If there was a rating offered that was over and beyond the word excellent, I would use it to describe Dr. Patel and his entire office staff and nurses.
