    Friendly yet professional. clear on the diagnostic, the treatment and the risks. Treated me with respect.

    Dr. Patel has a very pleasant demeanor and communicated clearly the results of my tests. He was helpful in that he explained various interventions to address the issues and helped me come to the conclusion that surgery would likely not resolve my symptoms and could cause additional issues. I feel I can go back for further discussion should my symptoms become more severe.
