I usually go in to my appointments with a list of questions that are important to me. Dr. Patil seems to anticipate a number of them as he answers them as we converse. And any additional questions, he patiently waits while I go over each one and answers them throughly. He does not rush me not make me feel incomptent for asking them in any way.

My experience was amazing. Dr. Patil took his time to explain my diagnosis. He also took his time showing and explained my MRI findings. He told me what my options were and when I decided on which option I thought was best for me he agreed with the option I chose.
