Patient Reviews
Jan 12, 2024
Dr. Patel did a great job on my lumbar spine. His diagnosis was spot-on, and his minimally-invasive approach solved the problem with same-day surgery and conscientious follow-up. Symptoms of spinal stenosis disappeared quickly. He cares about his patients and really wants to help. If he is late, be assured that he is giving another patient the same excellent care he will give you. Thank you, Dr Patel!
