    Dr Patel surgeon was extremely professional. And listen and ask me great questions. Also very knowledgeable about the pro and cons of surgery. Make sure he does all his homework before cutting into someone. My case is very complicated but he has the experience to handle any complications that may occur. He may me feel I'm in safe hands now. And will be able to fix what other surgeons couldn't. His reputation.of being the best is well deserved.

    Dr. Patel was very helpful, talked me through everything, allowed me to ask questions and answered questions. He didn't make me feel like a patient, he took his time and didn't rush me or the consultation. Let me beware of what was going to happen and the different choices there was to choose from.
