Patient Reviews
Dec 14, 2019
Dr Patel was very diligent in her care of me to enable me to recover throughout a months-long train of eye diseases (keratitis and HSV in the eye among them). Through requesting many sessions and careful prescriptions, she helped me restore my eyesight in my one diseased eye back to 20/20. She is an incredible doctor to work with!
