Patient Reviews
Jul 03, 2023
I've been going to Dr. Patel for, over, 25 years and wouldn't trust anyone else to touch my eyes. I've had three detached Retinas fixed and Cataracts removed from both eyes. I've developed MAC in both eyes and he is doing a phenomenal job keeping an eye on them. He is kind and courteous, as well as, the staff. They make you feel comfortable and cared about. I'd give him more stars if there were more.
