For the first time ever having a surgery, I was obviously afraid. But the process was explained to me and I went ahead and did it. If I'd had known how great I would feel afterwards, I'd have done the surgery sooner. It took several months of rehab but I'm now near 100% recovered.…

“I have nothing but praise for Dr. Patel and his team.”
From day 1, Dr. Patel's diagnosis was exactly correct. What I appreciate is that he was not in a rush to do the surgery on my hand but was willing to try therapy first and rule out any other possibilities. His attention to detail is above and beyond what I expected -I have high expectations to begin with. His team is also very attentive and I appreciate everything that has been done for me from my first visit, through therapy, surgery, more therapy and now, my final visit. His technique with the surgery has given me back the use of my dominant hand.

“Dr. Patel is caring, attentive, and extremely skilled. I had a very serious injury and I felt cared for and in good hands through the whole healing process.”
I feel so lucky to have had a doctor like Dr. Patel. Even though I had a lot of trauma to my elbow, I never doubted my recovery because I trusted Dr. Patel completely. He was attentive, always listened and answered my questions, and supported me every step of the way. Beyond that the whole team at his practice and the attached OT practice are wonderful. If I had to spend a year rehabilitating my elbow, I wouldn't want to be anywhere else. I was grateful to do it with such an amazing team to support me along the way.
