I would like to let everyone know how wonderful and gifted Dr. Patel is. I was in an accident in December —- at my friend’s home which fractured most of the left side of my face. I literally looked like I had just been in a boxing fight with Muhammed Ali or Mike Tyson. When I was given the news from the Emergency room doctor that I had to undergo surgery to repair all these fractured bones near my eye and cheekbone, both myself and my close friend were quite frightened and upset. The ER doctor assured me that she had called a wonderful plastic surgeon who was coming to the hospital to see me and that I had nothing to worry about. Well she was right. Dr. Patel came in and settled all of our apprehensions immediately. He has such an optimistic and wonderful bedside manner which is exactly what a patient needs when you get news like this. He thoroughly explained what he would need to do to repair my face and in regular people’s terms not the usual medical jargon that no one understands other than another medical staff member. He scheduled my operation for the next day and kept my family, friends, and myself informed of what was going to happen. Well, the operation was a success and my face is 100 percent better now. I healed amazingly well and everyone including myself still can’t believe that I look like nothing ever happened to me. Dr. Patel has a wonderful Office Manager, Liz, who after the surgery was so kind and calm with me even though I had so many questions. She also has a calming spirit about her which is such an asset to Dr. Patel’s practice. All I can say is that if you need any plastic surgery done regardless if it’s for a medical emergency or elective situation, you will not go wrong with choosing Dr. Patel and his office to assist you with your needs.
