Although Dr. Patel has the education, it was the fastest doctor visit I have ever had. In fairness, I was worked in his schedule and so he didn't have a lot of time, but again, he was in and out (with a resident doctor and a nurse), looked at my stye, made his assessment, diagnosis and off I was... I'll bet it took a total of 2 minutes tops. I felt so rushed... and like I was a bother

When pathology report was available on a Friday, he actually picked up the phone and called me to inform me that it was not cancer because, "I don't want you to have to worry about this over the weekend."

Dr. Patel is a wonderful doctor/surgeon. I called his office asking to see if they could help with a problem I was suffering from for years. I spoke with the receptionist and explained my problem and what I thought needed to be done. I asked her if this is something that Dr. Patel could do. She took my message down and said that she would call me back within a few days to let me know. She did better than that. She called me back with in a few hours she told me that she spoke with the doctor and he said that yes it is something that he could do but he wanted me to see a neurosurgeon first because they would need to work together. I called the neurosurgeon Dr. Willam Couldwell. I first saw one of his colleagues Dr. Ansari and then I saw Couldwell himself. They booked the surgery I needed to have which was to build a mesh barrier behind my left eye and to move the left side of my brain back so that it would release the pressure it was causing and the multiple headaches I would get. Because of the pressure my left eye was looking down and about 30 degrees off from my right eye. I had this surgery almost 6 months ago. I'm amazed at the results. I only saw double vision for a few weeks and it went away just like the doctors told me it would. My headaches are now gone and my eyeball has moved up to normal position. I've received many comments from friends and family about how good it looks. I would highly recommend Dr. Patel and Couldwell as well as any of their colleagues. They are

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
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.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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
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
his hands didn't seem clean
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
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
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

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

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

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

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

Very glad Dr. Patel was recommended to me.

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

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.

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!!

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.
