Dr. Patel demonstrates empathy, kindness, and respect when conversing with patients. Based on my spouse's prior appointments, I think that Dr. Patel is also articulate and brilliant. He's part of what makes U of U Hospital an exceptional place to heal.

I wish Dr. Patel would do better at telling me what to expect after my procedure when I am home by myself and taking care of my surgical wound, such as: typical bruising and swelling to expect, pain, specifics on how to clean the surgical wound area. However, I feel he is an amazing and extremely talented surgeon and care provider. He is very good at explaining what he will do during exam and surgery, what he did surgically, and how he felt the surgery went. I completely trust his abilities and care for me as his patient.

I have had this problem with the ducts in my eyes for decades. I can easily recognize the symptoms. I was told by my opthamalogist that Dr. Patel had a sure fire procedure to fix it and went in with high hopes. He told me that it was not a blocked duct but a sinus problem. I explained to him that I had previously had a scan of my sinuses that ruled that out but he was undeterred. Mike had previously repeatedly told me to be sure to ask any questions that I had but when I tried to do that it was not responded to. I felt that his manner towards me was condescending and he had already made up his mind about my situation before entering the room.

Doctor Patel really only needed after surgery pictures for his files. He could not be bothered about women wanting cosmetic answers on how they looked afterwards. As he quietly put his hand on my shoulder to guide me out the door of the exam room.

I have seen at least 10 different ophthalmologists during my two year battle with UGH that was compounded by the pandemic and the residual effects of my birth defect: congenital hyloid remnants. I feel very fortunate to be in Dr Patel's skilled care at the close of this chapter in my life. Eviseration is final, painful and not without risk and requires top tier medicine. Thank you Dr Patel and staff.

I was not told what to expect during recovery, so I didn't know if severe eye irritation for 2 days was normal or something to be concerned about.

Dr. Bhupendra, who I'm sure is a competent physician, showed very annoying chairside manner. He was pretentious, condescending, not particularly helpful and kinda a jerk. He pretty much scoffed at the few questions I asked and it seemed I wasn't worth his time. If I had decided to have a procedure done, I would have gone elsewhere and not had him do it. Very dissatisfied with this visit. He also was rude to his intern or whatever she was in front of me - he clearly doesn't care that that makes a patient uncomfortable. But the intern and the assistant were very nice.
