The previous MCO reputation and NM affiliation alone have earned a positive reputation. Dr Savan Patel’s decision to reach out to the neurologist on my behalf was, as a lay person, an impressive gesture because two doctors were communicating with one another and unfortunately, that doesn’t happen very often. That doctor’s test result was most helpful and gave Dr Savan Patel the information he needed to give me direction. And so going back today was an easy decision. Confidence is such an important part of the process . . . for which I am grateful.

Patel was good and made me feel comfortable before surgery. I would have liked to talk with him myself after surgery. He called my wife after surgery but we would prefer to see him in person to better know what to expect, get instructions from him, and be able to ask questions. Call was too brief. I do, however, understand his busy schedule.
