Patient Reviews
Jul 18, 2024
Was originally scheduled for vitrectomy surgery with another dr. and decided to go with Dr. Patel. Best decision I could have made. He gave me a thorough examination and explained every detail of the surgery so that I could understand it. I had many questions and he took the time to answer each one. I had to call the office twice with questions after the surgery and he himself called me back. His office staff is as efficient as he is and everyone is very pleasant. If you need a retina specialist, he is the doctor you want!
