Great visit, very personable physician, very knowledgeable, explained everything. With scan pictures and other test results, very clearly compared the test results. There were three of them and would recommend this doctor highly.

Dr. Patel, he showed a lot of concern, care. He explained everything that I was able to comprehend. His first impression was awesome. He made me feel calm, not nervous. The whole staff was very, very professional, very nice. I liked the hospitality, and I liked the way he explained everything to me. And they gave me physical therapy, hoping that this would work. He wasn't the doctor that said, hey, I want to cut you. As soon as I walked in the office, he wanted to take other alternatives, other treatments before that issue ever had to come up as far as surgery. So Dr. Patel, you're one of the doctors I wish I'd have found 20 years ago. I will be back. I'm hoping I will get to see him again. Thank you so much, Dr. Patel. And thank you for the other staff for showing me so much care, hospitality. Thank you.

Best doctor I have met in many years. My two sons and I were there and he spent time with us and explained everything. The other doctors there should be more like him

Dr. Patel was a very conscientious doctor and was right there for me to the very end when he thought my incision was not closing. Wonderful staff.

I think that when they're giving out instructions or directions, they should put that it's in the HOPE building. Luckily, I got there at 11 and I just ran all over. I had to have somebody help me find where the doctor was. So maybe when they give out directions in the office, they give a little bit more information. Thank you.

It was my first time seeing Doctor Patel but was very impressed and if I needed to see him again I would not hesitate to make an appointment.

Dr. Patel was very articulate, sat us down, listened to our concerns, explained what the MRI showed, and we were very satisfied with Dr. Patel. Thank you.

Likely to recommend if the condition is needed, is appropriate, but not very likely, probably. Number two, your voice tree system, like so many voice tree systems, sucks to try and get appointments and stuff like that. I spent quite a bit of time trying to get into the system. That's it. End of message.

I did not mind waiting a bit. The office and hope tower and beautiful and the staff could not be nicer. The doctor was great I was in and out in about an hour and I was happy with the visit.

From making the appointment to arriving at the office, seeing the doctor and physicians assistant was one of the best experiences i have had with a doctor's office. We were 100 percent comfortable with the doctor and the staff.

Dr. Patel and the office staff were awesome, period. I felt very confident with Dr. Patel. He explained everything in detail. I felt very safe in his hands and I'm looking forward to having the surgery with Dr. Patel and the staff.

Hi, yes, I think Dr. Patel is a wonderful, excellent doctor. I was just kind of shocked that he didn't look at my scar from the surgery. But other than that, he's a wonderful doctor and I would recommend him highly to anyone.

In all my years I have never had such an amazing experience of kindness and compassion. Dr. Patel made me feel so much better. I understood every word he said and relaxed my fears.
