Dr Patel my thyroid surgeon was the best doctor that I have ever been to. He answered and explained everything to me in the way I understood. He has such a beautiful personality and makes his patients so comfortable. The surgery he did on me went so well and I would rate him a10+. I wish all doctors were like him as he absolutely takes your fears away just by the way he explains the procedure and even shows you on paper. He takes his time and answers all your questions with honesty. The warmth of Dr S. Patel made me very relaxed and always took his time with me. If anyone needs thyroid surgery I promise you will be more than happy and satisfied with him. Dr S. Patel is #1 in my book!!! |
