Absolutely first class! The visit could not have possibly gone any better - Dr Patel spent plenty of time answering every question in excellent detail, gave excellent recommendations, provided options and was extremely helpful to allow me to make solid treatment options. He was very caring, built rapport, was highly knowledgeable and trustworthy. This may sound hyperbolic, but hat office visit may have been the best office visit with any provider I have ever had or attended with my spouse over my entire life. No kidding - and I have seen many very good doctors across a range of specialties - mostly while participating with my spouse but also for myself. You need to hold onto that Dr. He is outstanding |
