Dr Patel is one of the finest physicians I have been to see in my almost 80 years. I have already recommended him to several friends and colleagues who have been equally pleased with the care that his provides.

As far as I'm concerned nothing needs to be improved! Dr. Patel - without a doubt - has the best bedside manner of any doctor I've ever seen(and there have been many). His staff is wonderful and I actually enjoy my visits at KCB&J(obviously i'm very weird!) Anyway, everything about the clinic is top notch and i've recommended them to dozens of people

Dr. Patel is the absolute BEST. He's very caring, thorough and concerned about me personally. I feel like family when I visit his office. Everyone is treated with the utmost respect and attention to details. I would highly recommend them to anyone. I also left a message for him and he returned my call with lightening speed and showed great respect and concern for me and how I was doing and feeling.

I visited Dr Patel for an ultrasound guided injection in my heal. The staff was very helpful, the wait was minimal, and Dr. Patel was very knowledgeable. After the injection my pain subsided and life was back to normal!

I was referred to Dr. Patel after being diagnosed with a labral hip tear, which was causing significant referred pelvic pain as well. The hip surgeon at his office required me to see Dr. Patel before considering me for surgery, which I just had (in PENNSYLVANIA!) for FAI impingement of the hip, labral tear, bilateral torn rectus abdominus muscles (which had to be sewn back to the pubic bone) as well as 3 torn adductor muscles which also had to be repaired. Dr. Patel did spend time with me, but in the end concluded that I was a "type A personality" who had come to believe that I could no longer go about my daily activities, and that a labral tear could not cause that level of pain. He refused to try and diagnose torn muscles, and advised me to stop seeking medical care for my injuries, and instead resume my normal life and not even continue PT!! Why would any doctor tell a patent in need of surgery to stop seeking medical care and try to do things prevented by these injuries? NO GOOD.
