Misdiagnosed back issue and left my mother-in-law in pain for weeks. She had a fracture in her back and was crying in pain. He sent her home with muscle relaxants. Finally took her to the hospital and right away the doctor in the ER pinpointed the issue. I'm so surprised at how someone who is a specialist would just send an older patient home in pain and give her muscle relaxants. I would think twice before going here because it doesn't seem like he knows what he is doing.

Don't go here! Doctor sent my Mother in law home with a fracture in her back and did nothing but give her muscle relaxants. She was in severe pain for a week. We had to take her to the hospital and the doctor there read the MRI and immediately knew she needed Kryoplasty. This is horrible, especially for someone who is supposed to be an expert in this area.

Hands down, Dr. Patel is the best of the best. I had amazing results after my surgery and knowing that I had a world- renowned spine surgeon gave me th peace of mind that I needed to move forward with having my spinal issue corrected.

Horrible- came out in more pain than I had going in. No explanation of what was wrong, did not give me treatment options, I felt like I was cattle being herded. He sent me to therapy center but that's another nightmare. Do not walk- RUN away from Dr. Patel.
