Dr Patel is very thorough & explains what is happening & why

I was sent to Dr Patel due to high eye pressures or Glaucoma issues on an Emergent basis which Dr Patel addressed quickly and that week had surgery. My wife now sees Dr Patel and we highly recommend anyone with eye issues to see him.

My Experiences with Dr. Patel

The very BEST of the BEST!!! Dr, Patel was the third doctor I saw in trying to have my problem identified. He knew exactly what my problem was. It was a gift from God to find him!

It is such a blessing to be able to see clearly again. The first person I saw today was Michele....She was excellent too. This is a very impressive place....up-to-date equipment---Very clean, and everyone is so wonderful! I I can see clearly now! I recommend Dr. Patel highly....Joyce Beaty

very happy with Dr. Patel

I've been very happy with how Dr. Patel explains things to me. He takes his time to answer my questions. My surgeries went well and he walked me through the procedure before and during which was calming. The follow-up appointments have been good, meaning he explained what to expect after surgery and if I have concerns to call or come in. I feel his "bedside manner" is refreshing, I have seen many doctors in my life and think that is so important to me as a patient.
