Dr. Patel is an excellent surgeon; since our first meeting in November 2 025, he has explained clearly to me the procedures that are necessary to complete a successful left knee replacement. He has engaged directly with me, has entered all my questions, and is made me confident that I was in the best hands for my procedure.

Dr. Nirav Patel is not my regular orthopedic doctor, but he had an earlier appointment available and was gracious enough to see me until I can meet with my regular orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Patel was very kind, helpful, and attentive to my concerns. He took care of my immediate needs and made the visit comfortable and reassuring. Great doctor, and I truly appreciate his professionalism and willingness to help on short notice.
