“Awesome Doc; Zero Complaints”
When Dr. Patel does a procedure, he has a presence about him that's a blend of calming, confident, and utterly professional yet not at all cocky. I can't guarantee that you will have no anxiety (with most if not all procedures, there's a certain amount of risk), but you could not be in better hands. Both in an office setting and a procedural one, he's knowledgeable, thorough, patient, understanding, kind, caring, comforting, professional, and respectful. I am so lucky to have been referred to him by a doctor of equal caliber, both passionate about their craft. Dr. Patel has completely shattered everything I had begun to believe about all doctors: Good-complex, only selected the profession for the money, don't care about patients' health and well-being, condescending, disregarding patients' time, ignoring what patients' claimed symptoms are, giving a pointless referral to pass the buck, not spending enough time with patients to understand what the problem is and just writing a script without explanation, and not taking the time to explain what is being prescribed or why it's being prescribed. I cannot express enough how grateful I am to have a doctor like this after having had so many poor ones poison my perspective. If you've been put off by doctors in the past as I have, you'll certainly find Dr. Udit Patel to be a refreshing change, and if you've had no poor experiences ever with the medical field (lucky you!), you will find that he meets, if not exceeds, your expectations.
