Patient Experience Reviews
Dr. Patel and his team offered some of the best care I have had in my 73 years. They are attentive, efficient and personable in all things.
He is awsome! He explains everything and shows me my xrays. He's very gentle when I get my injection in my knee I don't feel a thing. He's very kind and friendly every time I've seen him.
I am very pleased that Dr Patel is my knee replacement surgeon. This was a follow-up visit as well as a discussion to replace the other knee in the near future. I totally trust him and his team to take as good of care of me as they did with the 1st knee replacement. His staff is very knowledgeable & extremely helpful. I would definitely recommend Dr Patel. Thank you!
Excellent explanation of my hip problems and why surgery is needed. Great doctor and staff.

I found Dr Patel very courteous and informative. He understood the specific problem and made a recommendation that has proven helpful thus far.
Dr Patel and all his staff have been extremely caring and compassionate throughout 2 knee replacement surgeries. I can't say enough good things about Dr Patel, he will gladly explain and answer any questions, concerns you have and not make you feel stupid for asking in the first place. I have recommended him to anyone I know needing knee or hip care! Great job, keep up the good work

It was a mix up in where the dr would be seeing me
*** was very helpful getting my surgery scheduled and going over the information I needed. I felt Dr Patel really paid attention to my past history as well changing my care to what I personally needed.
Dr. Patel was fantastic and professional in all aspects.
Dr Patel and his assistant *** have always treated me with respect and have always provided understandable explanations and helpful suggestions. During my last visit, I had to wait 45 minutes until Dr Patel saw me. That was a little disappointing because my time is as valuable as a doctor's. It would have been nice to have someone check in with me to assure me that Dr Patel did not forget about me. Otherwise, my visit went well.
Excellent doctor
