I recommend the Moran Eye Center to all people no matter what part of the USA I am visiting. Additionally, I desire Dr. Patel's staff receive an honorable mention on their performance to the community at large.

UofU Patient
June 22, 2017
Dr. Patel quickly addressed my problem. He was frank and told me he could not fix it, but suggested treatments that would over time help. I have been following through and have had some improvement, so I am encouraged.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
May 30, 2017
This time the Doctor had an intern. It was nice as he explained each move and procedure. I feel it was helpful to ALL in the room. :)

UofU Patient
May 29, 2017
Have been dealing with this eye problem over a year postop. I would have liked the provider to in the beginning of this recovery and repair, to have outlined a plan of care and expectations for me. I have only received small bits of info each visit. No short term and long term goals. And possible cause for issue.

UofU Patient
May 28, 2017
excellent

UofU Patient
May 28, 2017
I often say to many other- that this man, this doctor is the most amazing doctor we know.

UofU Patient
May 24, 2017
I tell everyone about the Moran Center and the great care I have always received. After sharing my story, a number of my friends have not only looked into Moran Center; but, have received the care they needed to get well. I am so thankful for the state of the art facility along with the finest doctors and staff you can find in the USA. I met women recently at a quilting conference in SLC, who have had quality of their vision restored at the hands of this great facility. So many of us were and are patients of Dr. Patel, who we all admire.

UofU Patient

Everything about this visit was great

UofU Patient

Dr. Patel took the time to answer my questions and calm my concerns about the eye surgery. He came highly recommended and I have full confidence in his surgical abilities.

Dr. Patel always conducts his care in a caring, concerned, and professional manner.

UofU Patient
March 14, 2017
Dr Patel is very competent, but clearly over subscribed to in the clinic. He did not offer an explanation of the problem without being prompted by my husband.

UofU Patient
March 12, 2017
STELLAR CARE!

great doctor

Dr. Patel is outstanding.

UofU Patient
February 27, 2017
Most contact was with the male technician. The care provider just rushed in and out to do the procedures.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient

The appointment was a routine follow-up on surgery Dr. Patel performed to remove a large basal cell carcinoma on my eyelid 6 months prior. Everyone who looked at the site, including physicians and health care providers in my family, couldn't believe how well it healed without a trace of the surgery.

UofU Patient
December 16, 2016
excellent care and visit

UofU Patient
December 08, 2016
They were running so far behind that I felt Dr. Patel was rushed. Therefore, I ended up not asking all the questions I wanted to ask. I managed to ask him a few more questions after he had left the exam room, but I still had a couple more I didn't get to ask.

UofU Patient
November 17, 2016

UofU Patient

Dr Patel is wonderful, he always is courteous and professional with us at these follow up appointments. Any questions or concerns he addresses our needs right away. I am always pleased with the care provided by the facility, medical assistants, front desk staff are an absolute delight.

UofU Patient
September 17, 2016
Dr Patel is a good doctor. I don't think I should have to wait 2 hours for a follow up appointment.

UofU Patient
September 05, 2016

Dr. Patel is the best. Very personable, friendly and a very, very good Dr. and Surgeon. My recommendations are very high in recommending Dr. Patel to others.

UofU Patient

Good

UofU Patient
July 21, 2016
Again, he was so rushed that I had no time with the doctor after waiting so long and driving from Idaho. Pretty disappointing.

UofU Patient
July 21, 2016
Dr B. Patel and his staff were amazing. They were caring and gentle, making me understand that my comfort and confidence in my treatment were their priority.

UofU Patient
July 20, 2016
Dr. Patel performed a previous surgery on my right eye called Entropion. He was careful, knew exactly what he was doing and my recovery was flawless. He explains, draws pictures and talks about any concerns at the exam as well as during the surgical procedure. I am very pleased!

UofU Patient
July 16, 2016
Very confident that my case is in the best hands possible.

UofU Patient

I would highly recommend Dr. Patel. I feel so fortunate to have the health of my eyes in his care. I have total confidence in his recommendations and ability and have share my confidence of him with others.

UofU Patient
May 03, 2016
Our experience with Dr. Patel is always wonderful. We are very fortunate to be able to fly to Utah from New Mexico to enjoy his great care and expertise.

UofU Patient
April 17, 2016
Doctors at Moran are the best.

UofU Patient
April 16, 2016
Dr. Patel did a very good job of addressing my concerns. He is clearly very busy, but I felt the time he took with me was more than sufficient.

UofU Patient
April 07, 2016
It was late afternoon but the Dr took me in for a surgical procedure, took his time and carefully finished treatment

UofU Patient
April 04, 2016
excellent

UofU Patient
March 21, 2016
I had researched Dr. Patel before coming in for my appointment, and he had a lot of very positive comments, so I was quite confident in his abilities when I arrived. I appreciated his sense of humor during our visit and it helped to calm me down. I was quite shaken after my procedure, so I don't think I remembered a lot of what was said about post-care. I wish I had asked more questions about that.

UofU Patient
March 16, 2016
This was the first visit to Dr Patel, and he was very gracious, understanding, and very knowledgeable. We were very pleased to have been able to see him.

UofU Patient
February 28, 2016
I cannot tell you how much I admire my dr....dr Patell...he is a true gentleman with great talent. We are so lucky to have him in our area....he works too hard, but we are all blessed by his work ethic, and dedication!!!

UofU Patient
February 21, 2016
Dr. Patel spent a good amount of time with me. I felt very reassured by him and know that he has my best interest in mind.

UofU Patient
February 13, 2016
Like I said, the best care I have ever had in my life. I have had seven major surgeries in my life, this will be the eighth. This was a cake walk. My eye Dr. said you were the best and he was right.

UofU Patient
January 31, 2016
My understanding of why my daughter were seeing Dr. Patel seemed different from what he thought he was seeing my daughter for. She has a number of specialists she sees for a variety of reasons. He brought up something about a different (if related) concern, didn't really explain it well to me, and then assured me the other specialists are likely following up on it. It may be a legitimate concern that I need to follow up with her other doctors about, or it may be something they are already closely following, but due to different specialists wording things differently it's difficult for me to know what he's talking about and how to best follow up.

UofU Patient
January 20, 2016
I have complete confidence in Dr. Patel; he's absolutely wonderful, and fantastically talented.

UofU Patient
January 12, 2016
I hate the drive from Pocatello but the care that I receive at the Moran Center is well worth it. I couldn't ask for better care.

UofU Patient
December 29, 2015
Dr. Patel is very knowledgeable with an excellent bedside manner.

UofU Patient
December 10, 2015
Dr Patel was great. Couldn't ask for anyone better.

UofU Patient
December 05, 2015
Dr. Patel is wonderful! I was so pleased to be able to have him perform the needed procedure. His demeanor is very kind and funny, which is reassuring and calming in a hospital setting.

UofU Patient
November 27, 2015
all are very good. surgery on phone doesn't allow to mark ratings very well-keeps going back a page.

UofU Patient
November 26, 2015
Dr Patel fixed a surgery that had been previously been performed by Dr Schneider

UofU Patient
November 22, 2015
He was just too busy to spend much time with me

UofU Patient
November 19, 2015
Confident in my physician and care he provides to me.

UofU Patient
November 09, 2015
I have already highly recommended Moran Eye Center and Dr Patel to others

UofU Patient
October 18, 2015
Dr Patel is a very honest doctor. He was my second opinion by word of mouth. He said that my daughter did not need surgery. The first doctor diagnosed her wrong.

UofU Patient
October 14, 2015
Would be happy to refer to anyone.

UofU Patient
October 10, 2015
I am looking forward to not only getting my eyelids reconstructed and having my eyelid issues resolved and improved, but I'm looking forward to a long-lasting doctor-patient RELATIONSHIP which is so important for on-going eye care. Moran Eye Institute feels like "home" to me. Wish I had found you all before my eyelid surgery then I wouldn't be in the bad situation I am in now, but I'm hopeful Dr. Patel will be able to greatly improve my eyelid issues. I have a great amount of confidence in him. I have a friend who is also a reconstructive patient of Dr. Patel's. He reconstructed her entire lower eyelid (lost due to cancer) and it's flawless perfection! I lost about 5-7 mm of my lower lid margins due to an aggressive tarsal strip procedure from another surgeon so I'm hopeful that Dr. Patel can reconstruct my missing lid margin as well.

UofU Patient
September 21, 2015
Dr. Patel took the time to answer my questions about my condition and the treatment.

UofU Patient
September 19, 2015
Good

UofU Patient
September 18, 2015
I feel I am in excellent hands with Dr. Patel! I completely trust his judgement and abilities! I have had an excellent experience with him the last year and a half that I have been going to his office!

UofU Patient
September 14, 2015
On the whole my experience was good. A little long getting the procedure done initially but I understand because there was an emergency. I wish I had been told after the procedure to be very careful about touching a couple of spots on my eyelid. When I had my follow up I asked about a small lump I had at the corner of my eyelid. I touched it to show the dr where it was. He told me that I shouldn't be touching that spot because there were still stitches inside and each time I touched it the stitch would dissolve that much quicker. I don't know how many times I had felt that spot in the last 5-6 weeks. I would have been more conscientious about not touching there had I known. I just hope there was no damage done.

UofU Patient
September 13, 2015
doctor spent maybe 2 minutes total with us. basically came in looked for 30 seconds at my sons eye, then told us there was nothing there, and it is all normal. not sure how confident in the diagnosis, as he didn't seem to care to look for a few minutes or even ask many questions about why we were there.

UofU Patient
September 12, 2015
Dr. Patel is very polite and helps me to understand the process of what is going on. Dr. Patel is very reassuring of procedures being done, why being done, ad what to expect. I can honestly consider Dr. Patel a friend because of the way he provides care.

UofU Patient
August 27, 2015
Dr. Patel is a wonderful doctor. He has a great bed side manner, and he is an excellent surgeon.

UofU Patient
August 16, 2015
I found Dr. Patel to be very thorough and explained everything to me in terms I could understand.

UofU Patient
August 04, 2015
Dr. Patel is very good.

UofU Patient
July 26, 2015
Patel is a patient, thoughtful doctor

UofU Patient
July 24, 2015
I have worked with Dr. Patel and his assistant Mike for 5 years and they both are very caring and very knowledgeable in their respective positions.

UofU Patient
July 21, 2015
Dr. Patel has a grate personal way to explain clearly the benefits of a procedure or not to perform it. I would recommend him for sure and seek his advice in the future if necessary.

UofU Patient
May 10, 2015
Dr. Patel is the best.

UofU Patient
April 25, 2015
I have full confidence in Dr. Patel and would return another time and would also refer him to others.

UofU Patient
April 20, 2015
I have to wait another 6 weeks to determine what the final result will be after my surgery. I am concerned about my eyelid not closing and how the shape of my eye has changed. I was not told that this could be a possibility. Evidently the nerves need to heal. I may have considered another option or treatment if offered one in lieu of this outcome.

UofU Patient
April 17, 2015
Dr. Patel was in the room for less than 60 seconds. His staff is great and they did everything. I would recommend his staff but I'm not impressed with Dr. Patel.

UofU Patient
April 12, 2015
I was not sure what to do after the procedure other than the medicine I was given. Also - a week later the growth has reappeared.

UofU Patient
March 29, 2015
A heads up about the extra sensitivity of eyelids to shots, injections would have been nice. I could have been better prepared for the ridiculously severe pain.

UofU Patient
March 27, 2015
Dr. Patel's is one of the best doctor's I've seen recently. I'm 68 and see quite a few!

UofU Patient
March 23, 2015
Dr. Patel is always polite, informative, and engaging during office visits.

UofU Patient
March 18, 2015
The techs pulled me back first for all my visits and did their jobs. The doctor didn't say much and was super busy (understandable).

UofU Patient
March 16, 2015
Dr. Patel was everything my optometrist said he was. Professional, knowledgeable and skilled. He gave me great confidence of a successful procedure.

UofU Patient
March 16, 2015
He's the kindest doctor that I have ever been to.

UofU Patient
March 08, 2015
I know he is a very in-demand doctor. He is very good. But I still felt like I would have liked more time with him. I felt like he looked at me and that is all he was concerned with. Not if I had any concerns or questions.

UofU Patient
March 08, 2015
My son's syndrome is extremely rare. Dr. Patel researched his syndrome before our appointment. That is superior care that most doctors don't provide.

UofU Patient
March 02, 2015
when I asked my granddaughter (6) if she learned anything and she replied" I learned that the doctors were so nice and friendly" Enough said

UofU Patient
March 01, 2015
This was an easy in easy out appointment. Everyone was helpful and prompt. I was very satisfied.

UofU Patient
February 23, 2015
I was simply blown away by Dr. Patel and his assistants. when I went to fill my prescription at the pharmacy, the pharmacist saw Dr. Patel's name on the prescription and shared with me the story of how he had saved her eyesight. She couldn't speak highly enough about her experience with Dr. Patel.

UofU Patient
February 17, 2015
Dr. Patel inspires confidence. I will return. The quality of care at Moran is always unequaled. I have met with several physicians and residents over the year and am always extremely impressed. Part of my satisfaction is attributed to the wonderful support staff as well as the practitioners. Getting to SLC is a huge nuisance but well worth the inconvenience.

UofU Patient
February 16, 2015
Originally told recovery from eye lid surgery would be about 8 weeks, including all sutures dissolved. Informed at this last visit that sutures would not all be dissolved for another 4 months. Recovery is taking way longer than originally led to believe. The problem lies with setting false expectations.

UofU Patient
January 18, 2015
The Doctor and all the staff were very impressive.

UofU Patient
January 18, 2015
I loved his office workers and he was very delightful and knowledgeable. I recommend him to anyone.

UofU Patient
December 06, 2014
It was a very good experience and we had no complaints. We were very pleased that we could get in and have the visit, leave, and get out of town so quickly. The parking is so convenient. Thanks to every one who helped us and took care of us.

UofU Patient
November 18, 2014
Dr. Patel was very good with Daylon and helped her to feel comfortable.

UofU Patient
November 13, 2014
I owe you my son's life

UofU Patient
November 02, 2014
I was very pleased and impressed with my experience.

UofU Patient
October 26, 2014
Dr Patel is very knowledgeable and kind to our whole family.

UofU Patient
October 08, 2014
I have already recommended Dr. Patel to a number of individuals considering eyelid surgery.

UofU Patient
October 05, 2014
Dr. Patel was great, I just wish wait time was less. I realize he is very busy, maybe scheduling less patients would be better.

UofU Patient
October 04, 2014
As it happened, Dr. Patel is very interested in a topic which my husband and I also are very interested in. So we had a good discussion. He also explained exactly how the procedure was to be done and what to expect after it. I feel very confident. Also, when my husband called to get an appointment for me, he got a receptionist who had had the same procedure and was very enthusiastic about her results. That also was reassuring.

UofU Patient
September 30, 2014
I also enjoy being in a teaching facility and having residents and fellows and visiting MDs in the room and have never felt that confidentiality has ever been breached.

UofU Patient
September 15, 2014
Very confident in care providers competence.

UofU Patient
September 13, 2014
I Was very impressed with how efficient and carrying the dr nurse and tech were!

UofU Patient
September 13, 2014
He seemed very busy. Hello, good bye. Very fast. This is how it seemed to me. The other people were more helpful and took time to explain what the dr. was telling me.

UofU Patient
September 02, 2014
Moran Eye Center and Dr Patel are the best. I would refer everyone to them.

UofU Patient
August 24, 2014
7. Care provided did not use any words I did not understand

UofU Patient
August 18, 2014
Dr. Patel saved me from a medical tragedy. I will be forever grateful to him for his professionalism, sterling credentials and training, and genuine concern for practicing medicine at the highest standards of care and humane compassion. The "best" doctors in Salt Lake spent 5 months and $10,000 on my case and had projected a path for me to lose an entire portion of my face and teeth. By a miracle I was referred to Dr. Patel for reconstructive eye surgery in the aftermath. Dr. Patel, because he has bothered to learn medicine beyond just the narrow path that most physicians train in, was able to look at my case in a holistic sense, and in a short time, put me on the path to recovery without any more time, cost or having my face mangled. Thank you, Dr. Patel, for having the decency to care so much about your profession, and treating every life as sacred. You can not put a dollar value on a human life as though it were a car or a house. Dr. Patel practices medicine as it should be practiced. I feel fortunate beyond belief to have landed in this gifted physician's care.

UofU Patient
August 09, 2014
I have been in the care of Dr. Patel for quite some time, and have always had good experiences with his care.

UofU Patient
August 08, 2014
Since this was the first visit, I did not know what to expect. Everyone was so helpful and gave good instructions as to where I needed to go. The exam was very thorough and addressed all the problems I was having. The plan of care and scheduling of my upcoming surgery was very informative and helpful.

UofU Patient
July 10, 2014
I can't say enough great things about Dr. Patel! I had not met him prior to my surgery as it was set up by another clinic. He was wonderful!! He made me feel at ease prior to the surgery and at this visit. He was very caring and explained what would be done in a way that I could understand. His demeanor with me was very kind and comforting. I had heard wonderful things about him prior but upon meeting him felt like he would give me the best care and best result. I am very pleased with the results!

UofU Patient
July 05, 2014
Seeing Dr. Patel was one of the best physician/patient experiences that I've had. He is thorough, caring, concerned and professional. I would highly recommend him to another person.

UofU Patient
June 25, 2014
experience was excellent

UofU Patient
June 16, 2014
Dr Patel and everyone else that seen us at the clinic were very nice, explained things and seemed very thorough.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
June 07, 2014
He seemed to be in a hurry.

UofU Patient
May 21, 2014
Dr. Patel follow up call to check on my wellbeing and next appointment with Dr. Hunt was very considerate and I was very appreciative of both his and his staff's concern for me.

UofU Patient
May 18, 2014
I'll never recommend them to anyone

UofU Patient
May 11, 2014
it took a. long time to see the doctor then when he came in he told me I didn't need the tube removed ever unless it hurt but over a year ago he told me to come back before I moved from salt lake to remove it, it was frustrating that he made me come back and wait an hour to be told. his bedside manner was not good

UofU Patient
May 11, 2014
I actually had a great time at the appointment, learned quite a few things, observed some excellent care practices and very much enjoyed the people that I met; from the MA to the MD.

UofU Patient
May 10, 2014
don't know yet if I will Recomend doc. he hasent preformed the surgery yet and I don't know what the results of that will be.

UofU Patient
May 10, 2014
very good experience

UofU Patient
April 24, 2014
The wait was a big concern

UofU Patient
April 09, 2014
very good with young patients.

UofU Patient
April 06, 2014
Very great confidence in Dr. Patel and his assistance. The scheduling staff should be made aware of the possibility of long waits.

UofU Patient
March 31, 2014
good

UofU Patient
March 24, 2014
I felt rushed. They didn't even really seam to know why I was there. Trying to do too much with to many patients at the same time. It was not the good focused attention normally provided by the eye center.

UofU Patient
March 06, 2014
Dr. Patel is awesome!

UofU Patient
February 21, 2014
Dr. Patel is very courteous and thoughtful as well as being an expert in his specialty. I appreciate his excellent care and I enjoy his personality.

UofU Patient
February 20, 2014
The doctor was very nice and friendly he explained everything very well so I could understand my sons condition. He explained that we should come back and why very well.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
February 15, 2014
they spend a lot of time in give great detail there

UofU Patient
February 10, 2014
Liked Dr. Patel very much. Wish visits with other providers were as pleasant as at Moran.

UofU Patient
February 08, 2014
Dr. Patel and his staff were very personable and friendly. I felt very comfortable and feel they listened intently to my concerns as well as helping with treatment.

UofU Patient
February 03, 2014
Wish we could give Dr. Patel and his staff straight 10's!!!! They are all awesome!

UofU Patient
February 01, 2014
Dr. Patel does exceptional work and care.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient

Dr. Patel is very personable, explains things well, and shows a lot of concern for the issue.

UofU Patient
December 17, 2013
was good

UofU Patient
December 16, 2013
we visited with him for probably a total of 2-3 min. It was so quick and rushed I felt like there want enough time to ask questions.

UofU Patient
December 04, 2013
When I get my eye surgery after the first of the year I am definitely getting it done at Moran, and by Dr. Patel!

UofU Patient
November 25, 2013
the whole appt seemed rushed. it was wait wait wait for us then blast in, take a few photos, look at her eye and tell us to check back in 3 months. if anything else was said it escaped me.

UofU Patient
November 18, 2013
The surgery wasn't quite what I was expecting to happen that day but the outcome was BETTER than expected. I am very pleased with the results! Thank you Dr. Patel. You are AWESOME!!!

UofU Patient
November 18, 2013
Dr. Patel is a good physician. They did make a note in the chart about eye gel she was using and never followed up on it. I forgot to ask if we needed to keep using it and we are out of it. I am using regular lubricating drops for her & that seems to work. He didn't spend much time with us. Just took a few pictures, looked at her and left. He could be better about asking how she is doing and seeing if I'd had any questions. On the way out he saw us in the hall & said, "Mom, make an appt. for me to see her in 6 months." If I hadn't seen him in the hallway, I wouldn't have known that.

UofU Patient
November 06, 2013
GOOD EXPERIENCE

UofU Patient
November 04, 2013
I didn't need information on medications or follow-up care. Dr. Patel spent only about 15 minutes with me. However, he was thorough and didn't need more time than that.

UofU Patient
October 29, 2013
I have a high degree of confidence in Dr. Patel. He fixed a very ugly scar and my surgery is ultimately successful.

UofU Patient
October 28, 2013
Horrible experience. His lack of empathy, poor bed-side manner and complete arrogance left me wondering if he would perform the surgery correctly. He had no regard for my stress, the trauma that the situation might be causing me and even had the gall to compare my "insignificant" problem to a child who has cancer. I was thoroughly disgusted when I left and have no desire to ever be associated with him again.

Bad experience, but world class surgeon??? Lets see? would I want him to do the surgery??? a resounding yes!!!

I am very happy I don't need surgery, but I was not given any information about the pain that I still have. The most interest was expressed on my new glasses with FL41 filters. I am to come back in a year. He says that since my eyes move a little more than last time, I am okay. I'd like my eyes to move normally, not just a little better than 'terrible.' I don't move my eyes because of the pain. I move my neck.

He talked too fast.

UofU Patient
September 23, 2013
The PA and Doctor answered my questions and explained things as they saw them. I still do not fully agree with the outcome but will follow the doctor's advice and be patient as the tissue relaxes and heals. I was told the surgery on the outer corner of my right eye can be reversed but I was asked to wait until January to give it a chance to completely heal. The doctor will further discuss my concerns at that time. Questions 9 and 10 will be determined by the final outcome.

I was led to believe that I was there to have the stitches removed. When i got home i found that stitches were left in. While I was at the clinic Dr. Patel and I talked about a follow up visit and agreed that I could send pictures and he could evaluate the results and see if I needed to come back in. No mention was made of stitches that need to come out later. When i found that stitches had been left in I communicated with the office and sent pictures of the stitches. In the reply to my question about removing those stitches I was told that they would drop off after 10 days and then told that I had turned down coming back in to have the stitches removed after six weeks when they would normally be taken out. At this point i don't know if the stitches will drop out or if I need to come back to have them removed. The communications about after care cold have been better.

My care provider not only told me what my condition was not, which calmed my worries, but also suggested a course of action that I was comfortable with.

UofU Patient
September 04, 2013
Very professional and satisfactory

UofU Patient

again excellent information and treatment.

VERY GOOD

UofU Patient
July 23, 2013
I had heard comments from other patients in the waiting room that this particular doctor is always running late. I do not think I will make another follow up visit unless I start having problems.

UofU Patient
July 15, 2013
My daughter, who is a dermatology doctor, came with me. She has in the past referred several patients to Dr. Patel for reconstructive surgery, and followed up with those patients after. She has the highest praise for his competency.

Follow-up for eye surgery. I had questions about what I can now do and was there to discuss progress and eye exercises. Will go again in 3 months to check progress.

UofU Patient

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

UofU Patient

As good as medical gets

Dr. Patel was very professional and reassuring.

I felt very comfortable in the clinic

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
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.

UofU Patient
April 16, 2013
Very good.

UofU Patient
April 15, 2013
I was very impressed with Dr. Patel. Made me feel confortable and took care to understand my concerns.

UofU Patient
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.

UofU Patient
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.

UofU Patient
March 26, 2013
Dr. Patel was very clear in describing what was done and in describing followup care.

UofU Patient
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.

UofU Patient
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.

UofU Patient
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.

UofU Patient
March 13, 2013
I was completely confident in my care and Dr. Patal.

UofU Patient

DR. PATEL IS A JEWEL AMONG DOCTORS.

UofU Patient

Very good

UofU Patient
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?

UofU Patient
January 21, 2013
Dr. Patel has always been very concerned with the patients needs and is always looking for ways to improve the treatment.

UofU Patient
January 15, 2013
Felt like he understood our problem and cared to get it taken care of as quickly as possible.

UofU Patient
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.

UofU Patient
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.

UofU Patient
January 02, 2013
Very good experience with Dr. Patal and the staff.

UofU Patient
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.

UofU Patient
December 24, 2012
I felt like my questions were answered and my concerns were explained very well.

UofU Patient
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.

UofU Patient
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.

UofU Patient
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.

UofU Patient
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.

UofU Patient
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

UofU Patient
November 19, 2012
his hands didn't seem clean

UofU Patient
November 12, 2012
Dr. Patel is excellent

UofU Patient

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

UofU Patient
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.

UofU Patient
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

UofU Patient
November 02, 2012
I felt very confident with Dr. Patel. He was gentle and I felt very little pain.

UofU Patient
November 01, 2012
He really understood my concerns. I've never felt more confident about a doctor.

UofU Patient
October 29, 2012
Again, Dr. Patel is a very caring eye doctor. I am fortunate that he is treating my eye problems.

UofU Patient
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

UofU Patient
September 26, 2012
Very glad Dr. Patel was recommended to me.

UofU Patient
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.

UofU Patient
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.

UofU Patient
September 22, 2012
Saw several people, all of whom were very professional, helpful and personable.

UofU Patient

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.

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

UofU Patient
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.

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

UofU Patient

Doctor Patel is fantastic!

UofU Patient
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!!

UofU Patient
July 09, 2012
Dr. Patel is a very competent, caring physician.

UofU Patient

UofU Patient
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.

UofU Patient
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.

UofU Patient
June 04, 2012
Dr. Patel is great.

UofU Patient

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

UofU Patient
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

UofU Patient
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.

UofU Patient
May 02, 2012
Never felt rushed. Felt concern and desires to meet needs.

UofU Patient
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!

UofU Patient
April 04, 2012
Family with me felt everything was handled well.

UofU Patient
March 28, 2012
I would like a chance to ask questions after I had a chance to think about the proposal of surgery.

UofU Patient

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

UofU Patient
March 07, 2012
Dr. Patel is wonderful. I would recommend anyone see him.

UofU Patient
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!

UofU Patient
February 29, 2012
VERY GOOD

UofU Patient
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.

UofU Patient
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.

UofU Patient
