Dr. Patel was very honest and explained the possibilities about shoulder surgery and alternatives that may reduce my pain temporarily. Most of all he didn't make my husband and I feel rushed but took the time to explain things, answered our questions and went over my x-rays with us.He is the doctor I will trust when it's time for my shoulder replacement.

I loved Dr Patel! I've never been to an orthopedic office, and he was so very kind. He listened. He explained he suggested. And he followed through (cortisone injection for me). I will most definitely return! The front office staff were super friendly and helpful, and the nurse who first came in was kind and cheerful. Loved all of the people I met!

I'm always satisfied when I go and see Dr. Patel. He listens and he explains things very well able to understand. and he always has a smile in his face when he comes into the examining room: He is very caring that's a gift from God. because nowadays medical has become a business and that's not good. I'm old-school retired emergency medical technician worked intensive care unit in Texas. I was in the medical field for 30 something years and I've seen the change sometimes it's very discouraging. But you have a very friendly staff and very professional and they greet you very well. It's a beautiful atmosphere in there. I pray that if anybody needs help with knees that they come to Dr. Patel, I highly recommend him. my former director of nursing, has seen him I recommended him to her and she was very pleased. Thank you Dr. Patel. God bless you, sir on your practice..
