Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Patel is always kind, patient and informative

He is known to many as an excellent orthopedic Dr.
He checked out what was going on with my partial tear in my shoulder. Had a choice to try one more injection before choosing surgery. Sounded like a great plan to me. Its been 2 weeks and i am so much better! He has helped me with this tear for some time and aldo took care if my trigger thumb and carpal tunnel! Trust in him faithfully! Great bedside manner as well including his assistants!! Thank you, Dr. Patel

Shoulder and elbow appointment
I had an appointment with Dr Patel to look at my shoulders and elbow. The check in process was smooth and done quickly. After a short wait I saw Dr Patel. He made me feel like I was the only patient he had that day. He explained what was wrong and immediately treated me during that time. He continued to ask if I had any questions during the visit. I would definitely recommend Dr Patel. I walked out knowing he is the right Dr for me. Thanks to him and his office staff. Great job to all!!!

Dr Patel is an excellent surgeon
I know that because at 7 weeks after Dr Patel implanted my shoulder, I only notice pain when I move in a certain spot. It's getting better with exercising and a few more weeks of PT. I don't have the constant pain I had before this implant. I already have my other shoulder scheduled for another reverse total implant. Just 12 weeks from the first surgery. Also, l experienced very little pain after the nerve block was removed. Thank you again Dr Patel. I look forward to getting my other shoulder surgery to eliminate the constant pain and get more mobility back.

Great doctor!
Dr. Patel, was prompt, efficient, and knowledgable! His bedside manner was impressive and he was very kind. I don’t think anyone wants to need orthopedic surgery, but he made the experience as painless and effective as possible. Glad to have met him.
