My optometrist, on-call on a Saturday urgent uveitis flare-up, sent me to Dr. Patel who happened to be the on-call physician that day. Dr. Patel waited for me as I live a hour away, saw me, diagnosed me, and began treatment immediately. He was pleasant that day and at my follow-up on Monday in addition to being timely! I got immediate relief from pain, and was assured my issue would be resolved with Dr. Patel`s care. Couldn't ask for a better professional!

Dr. Patel is the best Dr. out there! He treated my daughter. My daughter had a severe case of "Cat Scratch Fever" which the virus attacked her eyes and had made her temporarily blind. Dr. Patel diagnosed it where others could not. Dr. Patel saved my daughters eyesight. Not only a great Dr....but an EXTREMELY GREAT Human Being!
