    He was great. He tried to have small conversations with my kid (who is super timid). He was patient, listened well and very encouraging.

    Dr Patel has been my child's provider for many years. He is kind, understands teenagers don't always want to do what is ultimately best for their care and never talks down to my child. He is honest with them about what is necessary and what he recommends while giving my child a sense of choice and control, to a degree, in caring for a chronic condition they did not choose. We moved nearly 300 miles from his clinic and choose to drive to see him because prior to finding Dr Patel, we had some rough experiences and some doctors that really did not relate to the struggle heath issues have on children.

    Dr Patel was amazing! He listened carefully and asked questions to make sure he understood the whole situation. He shared his ideas with us and told us about various treatment options and was very transparent about the treatment plan. We felt heard and valued and confident he will help us figure this all out.
