Patient Reviews
Oct 24, 2021
Dr. Patel is an excellent physician. He is extremely knowledgeable in his specialization field. I had cataract surgery on my right eye preformed this past Friday and the results are already amazing. I am anxious to have my left eye done. His team is as amazing as he is; in both offices- Edison and Kendal Park. There is always an abundance of patients in his waiting room, thus the long wait. This is a silent testament to his excellence, skill, and professionalism.
