Patient Reviews
Feb 24, 2023
I had a spinal fusion from T10 to Pelvis a year ago to straighten scoliosis and clean out spinal stenosis. After many years of back pain and sciatica I am pain free and feel like I have a new lease on life. I am stronger and more active than I have been in years. Dr. Patel is highly skilled, extremely knowledgeable, and very compassionate. I think he is the best of the best! I feel very fortunate that he is my doctor.

About Me

Care Philosophy
  • I currently serve as the Executive Vice Chair of Orthopedic Spine Surgery at the University of Colorado. As an academic spine surgeon, it is my responsibility to stay involved in the latest spine care research findings, techniques, and technologies. As a clinician, I must also use the latest diagnostic technologies to first find the source of discomfort and disability in my patients. I then look to my training and experience to educate my patients on treatment options and together judge which might be the best treatment for each individual patient without increasing the risk of complications. We can thus choose the best technology together based on their condition and expectation from surgical treatment. Surgery, however, is a last resort to be chosen only if conservative measures fail to provide sufficient relief.
