Dr Riddhi Patel is an excellent ENT. I had fluid in both of my ears for more than a year. I saw Dr Patel once before for a nose bleed. I liked her very much. She worked me & my husband for different issues. Dr Patel is compassionate, kind, knowledgeable, took care of both of our issues. I trust her completely & definitely refer her to my family & friends.
