Patient Reviews
Jul 08, 2024
On May 15th 2023 I had a grade 3 AVM removed from my left temporal lobe without embolization. Dr. Patel did a wonderful job! I'm 41 and found out about my AVM at age 22. It took a little over a year (post surgery) for my mind to fully accept that I no longer have an AVM. Its truly nothing short of a blessing. I am doing very well and I am able to live life fully. I'm back at the gym and doing all the physical things I've always enjoyed doing. Thank you Dr. Patel for all your hard work that got you to this point where you are able to cure people of their AVMs. You've also freed us from the daily psychological turmoil involved with knowing that our AVMs can rupture at any time. I can't recommend Patel enough. Truly, I'm forever grateful for your help. Thank you! - Mike M.
