May 07, 2013

It was my first visit and for the most part, I was very, very impressed.

May 06, 2013

As good as medical gets

April 29, 2013

Dr. Patel was very professional and reassuring.

April 22, 2013

I felt very comfortable in the clinic

April 22, 2013

I asked Dr. Patel about a pain I get in my right. It is stabbing and we never got to the answer. I don't know if it is serious.

April 22, 2013

good

April 16, 2013

Very good.

April 15, 2013

Each time I see Dr. Patel, he tells me a different story about my surgery and how long it will take to heal. He doesn't listen well, and gets irritated with me. He's abrupt and condescending to me most of the time. I don't like being stuck seeing him for years.

April 15, 2013

I was very impressed with Dr. Patel. Made me feel confortable and took care to understand my concerns.

April 01, 2013

There was no individulized care. He had a "speech" that he rattled off without really listening to my individual concerns or symptoms. He had already diagnosed me before he entered the room base on what the tech and resident had told him.

March 26, 2013

Dr. Patel was very clear in describing what was done and in describing followup care.

March 25, 2013

On my visit two months ago I was told to come back in March so that I could have my surgery scheduled. This time I was told that surgery was unnessary unless things got worse. I took a day off of work for this. My doctor could have told me this two months ago and saved me time and a co pay.

March 25, 2013

Seemed a little rushed, but then I am probably the easiest patient he has all day. His Fellow is a wonderful physician studying ocular neurology and has excelent patient manners. Sad that he ill be leaving soon to return to Texas.

March 18, 2013

I was seen mainly by Dr. Patel's assistant, PA and Jill. The person administering the tests was excellent, helpful, excellent communication skills and answered many questions I had. (I can't remember her name.) The PA was also friendly, asked a few more question of me, then left. When Dr. Patel entered he was very matter of fact, addressed a few issues, and took pictures. I assumed we would have more discussion, but my confidence in him came from the many referrals I had of him, the comments posted on-line from former patients and then again was reassured by Jill after I left Dr. Patel's presence. I think I was expecting a more personal and comprehensive summary from Dr. Patel after having been tested and seen by his staff for the first 30 minutes. But, I am grateful for and impressed by his skills, realizing he has a busy schedule, and I nticipate a good outcome from the surgery.

March 13, 2013

I was completely confident in my care and Dr. Patal.

March 05, 2013

Outstanding

March 05, 2013

Wonderfull

March 04, 2013

Very reassuring

February 18, 2013

Dr. Patel is very informed and keeps us informed as to what he is doing. Have the utmost confidence in his decisions.

February 18, 2013

my son saw him for his surgery in 2009 as well so we have always been pleased with him and he has continued to be great in all aspects

February 15, 2013

DR. PATEL IS A JEWEL AMONG DOCTORS.

February 04, 2013

would recommend

January 29, 2013

Very good

January 28, 2013

when a surgeon says you're doing great, let's have a follow up in a year...what more could a patient want?

January 21, 2013

Dr. Patel has always been very concerned with the patients needs and is always looking for ways to improve the treatment.

January 15, 2013

Felt like he understood our problem and cared to get it taken care of as quickly as possible.

January 14, 2013

Testing took most of the time; physician least time (was short and to the point); after assistant spent considerable time explaining details about surgery, medications, etc.

January 08, 2013

I would highly recommend the doctor to friends and family. I thought he took adequate time with me and felt confident in the surgery he will do for me. He also stated that I could get in touch with him if any questions came up later. I appreciated that.

January 02, 2013

Very good experience with Dr. Patal and the staff.

January 01, 2013

Dr. Patel and Michael are always very patient, caring, and willing to take the time needed to help me. I trust that the recommendations made are best.

December 24, 2012

I felt like my questions were answered and my concerns were explained very well.

December 17, 2012

This appointment was my first after surgery. Dr. Patel came in and removed the tube from my eye. There was very little conversation. I wasn't asked any questions about how I faired after surgery or anything of that nature. Once the tube was removed we were done.

November 19, 2012

Other than the long wait at the facility it was a very pleasant experience. Dr. Patel is a wonderful doctor and I would recommend him to others for treatment and surgery. I don't know if the insurance companies are to blame for making the doctor see so many during the day or if the front personnel are to blame, but it seems like something could be done to move things along a little better. However, your treats were great.

November 19, 2012

his hands didn't seem clean

November 19, 2012

Today was an unusually and obviously tense day for Dr. Patel. Even with his interactions with his Fellow he showed unusual tension. Dr. Patel seemed unusually rushed, as if he was trying to "plow through" me to get to the next patient. Appeared as if he just walked in from a Night Club in his dress-rather unprofessional. I still had questions, he had set the treatment plan, and I was sent out to make a follow up visit. Even his interactions with his Fellow on this day were terse-as if I was watching him have a power-struggle with a very bright Fellow, and demeaning to him.

November 19, 2012

I just wish I could have been able to schedule my surgery before the end of the year. I had to wait from September to the middle of November to see Dr. Patel

November 19, 2012

The staff were competent, the communication was good. The problem is scheduling and patient flow. When the patient herd for afternoon clinic all arrived at the same time - I knew there would be delays in moving through the evaluation in a timely progression.

November 12, 2012

Dr. Patel is an excellent physician--knowledgeable and concerned about his patients.

November 12, 2012

Dr. Patel is excellent

November 05, 2012

After waiting for one hour and a half, the Dr. saw me for 10 min only. then I had to wait for another 45 min to speak with his assistant to just schedule a surgery. I kept waiting and waiting then I just left and ask them to call me.

November 05, 2012

Dr Patel is awesome and a great doctor. It has taken a couple of years but has really made my eye better

November 02, 2012

I felt very confident with Dr. Patel. He was gentle and I felt very little pain.

November 01, 2012

He really understood my concerns. I've never felt more confident about a doctor.

October 29, 2012

Again, Dr. Patel is a very caring eye doctor. I am fortunate that he is treating my eye problems.

October 15, 2012

He did a good job except he did not answer my question about why my tear duct keeps reclosing and why so quickly since my last surgery only a little over a year ago

September 26, 2012

Very glad Dr. Patel was recommended to me.

September 24, 2012

A friend at work had the same proceedure the same day as I did with a different doctor and facility in Davis County. I was definitely the one with the best care and instructions on taking care of the wounds while the healing took place. I recovered more quickly with less swelling because of the ice pack and directions I was given initially.

September 24, 2012

I left with the feeling that I was a blip on this physician's enormous screen. I have always thought Dr. Patel to be a caring, amazing physician- at the top of his game. Because my condition is neither life-threatening nor does it require immediate attention, I will gladly give up my space in his busy exam rooms for those more deserving.

September 22, 2012

Saw several people, all of whom were very professional, helpful and personable.

September 19, 2012

i was extremely pleased with my experience.

September 17, 2012

My questions were answered by all concerned. This was the third doctor I'd seen and I learned a lot more about my eyelid condition from Diana and Dr. Patel than I had been told previously.

September 03, 2012

great experience

August 29, 2012

Good & professional!!!

August 20, 2012

I am glad that I chose Dr Patel. I feel confident about this choice. He has an impeccable record and an easy-going but thorough clinical style

August 13, 2012

I didnt like the fact he talked to his students more than he did me ... I left without asking some of the questions I had because 4 students were in the room and it was more like a class.

August 06, 2012

Dr Patel is not only excellent at what he does, He is a gentleman

July 23, 2012

Doctor Patel is fantastic!

July 19, 2012

I have great confidence in Dr Patel--my surgery was flawless and I enjoy his care. Moran is an extraordinary place with many expert people--my only suggestion is cleaning up the wait time. I've had at least 4 visits and two were extraordinarily long!!

July 09, 2012

Dr. Patel is a very competent, caring physician.

June 26, 2012

The amount of time spent with me exceeded my expectations. I was given beyond excellent care.

June 25, 2012

We are SO appreciative of Dr. Patel's skill and expertise.

June 10, 2012

Always is extremely pleasant and concerned about my father. On this visit, went beyond his scope of interest and gave us a referral to another doctor for another condition.

June 07, 2012

He seemed to know what he was doing, but he spend a very minimal time with me and gave pretty brief explanations. He spent less than 5 minutes with me which was frustrating especially since it was almost an hour and a half after my scheduled appointment when I finally saw him.

June 04, 2012

Dr. Patel is great.

May 16, 2012

Dr. Patel was very professional, very caring and concerned. Could not ask for better.

May 09, 2012

i didn't need much time, just info about a possisble procedure and i was given all the time i needed, asked to pass on the tests because the procedure wasn't a given and it was okay. very nice

May 09, 2012

Dr. Patel was very attentive and I felt he had the skill and expertise I had come to the Moran Eye Center expecting. I did not feel that my visit was hurried at all, even though I was aware that there were several patients waiting.

May 02, 2012

This was the most pleasant experience I have had in some time with a physician. Thank You

May 02, 2012

Never felt rushed. Felt concern and desires to meet needs.

April 25, 2012

This was a 6 months check up and Dr. Patel handled this visit adequately being professional, friendly, and alert to answer my questions. He is a very busy Dr.

April 18, 2012

Thanks for everything Dr. Patel

April 18, 2012

He was very knowledgeable and helpful.

April 11, 2012

I really like the Dr if not...I wouldn't be going back! He is only there on Wednesdays so there is over scheduling and then you have to wait forever...plus if you have to reschedule or get in last second it's about impossible!

April 04, 2012

Family with me felt everything was handled well.

March 28, 2012

I would like a chance to ask questions after I had a chance to think about the proposal of surgery.

March 21, 2012

When I called and made the appointment, the Moran Eye Center is the only place I considered. I would not go anywhere else.

March 07, 2012

Dr. Patel is wonderful. I would recommend anyone see him.

February 29, 2012

VERY GOOD

February 29, 2012

Dr. Patel is an extremely gracious and caring doctor! My toddler son even commented several times about how he wanted to be Dr. Patel. I wish we would have found Dr. Patel earlier than having several surgeries from other doctors that were not effective!

February 22, 2012

I felt like the doctor was unaware of why we were there for our visit, he basically repeated from his our first visit that we did not need eyelid surgery. Then we explained we were there for air pockets under the skin, he looked at wrong eye and said everything was great and no reason for concern. I requested he look at the injured eye. When he did, he then said that it is very normal and you might feel it once every ten years but no problem. Well it had already happened four times just in the morning.

February 08, 2012

Dr. Patel is so gracious (in addition to being exceptionally gifted in his field) and treats my mother like a queen. Not all care givers are so respectful of the elderly.

February 01, 2012

An excellent experience, thank you

January 18, 2012

Very impressed.

January 04, 2012

you will be operatingg of my eye so i have alot of confidence with you.
