My experience with Dr. Patel was absolutely positive. He has a very good bedside manner and he explained to me the nature of the issue with the gas permeable hard contact lens which I currently wear on the damaged right cornea, and clarified why it was necessary to replace it with one that is expected to fit more snugly than the one I have. He is a very caring person and I truly respect him for his professionalism, and I'm glad to be his patient.
