Dr. Patel has helped me immeasurably when other doctors did nothing. He did everything he could think of to give me a diagnosis. He listens, communicates clearly and makes sure I understand all that is going on. I am very happy there and grateful for the excellent care I receive. Thank you, Dr. Patel, for everything you do for me.
