Dr Patel was wonderful! He was smart, kind and truly prepared for my visit. He put my mind at ease explaining what tests would be necessary to determine my diagnosis. He was also very sensitive that I travel from out of state and he will have his nurse do everything possible to coordinate my tests at one visit.

Dr. Patel took the time to go over my medical and physical situation and made recommendations that should be easy to follow. He displays empathy and concern for his patient. I value his opinion very much.
