Patient Feedback

“I am overly pleased with the care provided by Dr. Patel. After a near amputation of my thumb after a table saw injury, Dr. Patel made arrangements to fit me into his schedule. I later learned Dr. Patel was communicating with hospital staff on his day off in order to make sure my care was performed properly until I was able to see him in his office the next day. He later performed an extensive surgery on my thumb that I do not feel most doctors would have attempted. The fact that I still have a thumb, let alone a functioning one that looks normal, is beyond words. Thank you for your calm, direct yet understanding demeanor, throughout one of the worst events in my life.” – Michael M.
