    Dr. Patel took the time to ask about me and truly listened. He drew a diagram to explain the process to me and answered all my questions m. Dawn went over pre and post op instructions and was very clear and helpful answering any questions I had.

    Dr. Patel did an excellent job of explaining my issue, the treatment options, benefits & downsides of each, and never rushed me or pushed me to decide one way or the other. I really liked & appreciated his care style & would definitely recommend him to others.
