Patient Reviews
Dec 10, 2022
Everything from the very first appointment was perfect. Dr. Patel spoke with me during the initial meeting and clearly explained the entire process to me. He didn't rush, he listened and answered every single question with facts and even gave me stats on the usual recovery times and possible negative outcomes that I may experience. The surgery went exactly as planned with zero complications. My scaring is so minimal that you can barely tell that I had the surgery and I am only 4 weeks post! Dr. Patel is amazing and you are considering him for yourself, then trust me and go with him.
