I cannot say enough nice things about Dr. Patel. She is an artist at her craft. Her level of skill and intelligence, as well as her attention to detail, are nothing short of extraordinary. I was in a hit and run accident on my motorcycle where my leg was seriously injured, and as a result of poor prior treatment, wound up requiring multiple surgeries. I have been through two out of three, which included a debridement of a wound on my leg and an integra skin graft. Both of these surgeries were performed by Dr. Patel and she did an excellent job on each one. Her communication skills are superb, and just as important, she was able to provide a comfortable atmosphere where I could discuss any and all questions. She treated me with kindness and respect and has a great bedside manner. I can tell just by her demeanor that she cares about each any every one of her patients, and is passionate about what she does. Her day job is quite literally to help people and change lives for the better. As I was an emergency case, it was kind of a grab bag which surgeon I would get, and I am eternally grateful I was placed with Dr. Patel. **Edit: A few things I wanted to mention after going through all three surgeries: Dr Patel was able to remove all dead tissue down to the muscle, had a plan to grow it back, and recently performed the final surgery to do the skin graft. I thought due to the nature of the injury and the amount of dead tissue removed I would have a dip/dig in my leg for the rest of my life, but as a result of her care and attention to detail, my leg looks normal. Due to some childhood surgeries I have a fear of being "put out". After three surgeries with her and her team, I have to say she also works with the best anesthesiologists around, who not only care about safely performing the job, but your comfort as well. Dr Patel's Secretary Nayna is the absolute best. To be honest as the bills flooded in (as they do in situations like this), saying I was a little worried would have been an understatement. Nayna helped me work with my insurance company to ensure all bills were correct and dispute incorrect billing the entire time I was under Dr. Patel's care. Not many secretaries would go to the lengths she did and I was extremely impressed. Seems like members of the masterclass work together. Thank you again for everything.

Dr. Patel is very kind, informative, and knowledgeable about the procedures she performs. I had a cyst on the back of my head, and she sat down and explained exactly what type of cyst it was and how the surgery would go. After the surgery, she waited until I woke up to explain that everything had gone well and how to take care of the stitches. A few days later, i remembered she had told me to contact her any time if I had any questions and to leave a voicemail if she didn't answer. When I left a voicemail, she called back within 30 minutes, ready to answer all the questions I had. Overall, I had a great experience and highly recommend her.
