I could not have asked for a better result. I'm a 61 year old woman who lost 130 pounds of weight. Dr. Patel did an extended abdominoplasty. The results were phenomenal. I did not want the vertical incision which is usually recommended for the sheer amount of excess skin on my belly. He was understanding and was able to give me the results I wanted without the vertical incision. He is very kind, respectful and skilled. I had a little trouble with my incision following surgery, and Dr. Patel and his staff were right there for me. Got me into the office right away to evaluate and treat my incision. Highly recommend him. Monica Johnson
