In this day of hurry up doctor visits, I must say Dr. Patel is the most gentle caring compassionate doctor I have ever had. He takes the time to answer all my questions. I have had back problems since 1976 and Dr. Patel is the first doctor that has managed my back pain. He did this without surgery. He gave me alternatives to perscription drugs. I have the upmost respect for Dr. Patel. If you want a doctor that will listen to you and take time with you, then this is the doctor for you.

I absolutely LOVE Dr. Patel! He has helped me so much! I have seen him since 2004. He's intelligent, professional, gentle and decisive. Some patients might be afraid to see a doctor from another country, but Dr. Patel has perfect English! I have a long history of back problems, starting as child in 1979. I have seen MANY doctors & providers for my back, with Dr. Patel being ONE OF THE BEST! He is sensitive to my needs as a patient. He has provided conservative care, but referred me appropriately for surgery twice. He knows his scope of practice well (and even diagnosed & treated my carpal tunnel syndrome). I refer friends to him OFTEN. After 5 back surgeries of my own, I know that back surgery is to be avoided, if at all possible. Dr. Patel is my partner in this goal. I dread the day when we'll have to part ways. I'll probably cry, because HE CAN'T BE REPLACED!
