Dr. Patil was great. My wife and I met with him and liked him immediately. He is very knowledgeable, has a great sense of humor and we had a stellar visit. Dr. Patil gave us an overview of what the options were as far as dealing with my Afib. We learned that these options were not etched in stone but were flexible as time went on and my health might fluctuate. We peppered Dr. Patil with questions and we feel that he answered everything we asked in depth and understandably. At the end of the session we had (1) a going forward flexible plan to deal with my Afib and (2) the way to deal with upcoming procedures that would be impacted by the anticoagulant I am taking and (3) the ability to schedule a test for possible sleep apnea and (4) a way to possibly control the costs for an expensive anticoagulant prescription and (5) an appointment for a 6 month follow-up visit. All in all, a very good visit. I'm glad that we got too meet Dr. Patil and we both have complete confidence in his ability to provide care. Thank you!
