Dr. Patel was absolutely wonderful. She is thorough, experienced. She is an exceptional doctor. Prior to our daughter surgery. She talked to us in depth about any and all concerns and resented us with the best treatment plan. I felt confident going into surgery that this was the best route of care for our child, I never once doubted Dr. Patel and this was the reassurance and confidence we needed during this time.
