Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Deceptive and dishonest
He will tell you anything to get your money. He will stall you and lie. He talks over you. Promises to fix his mistakes then want more money to fix his mistakes. He violated my rights.

Successful ear surgery!
Dr Dhavel,Thank you for your successful surgery to remove my growth on my left ear on Feb 1! My left ear looks great! I was surprised and disappointed when the biopsy came back as T cell Lymphoma on Feb 9. You told me that you think you removed all the bad tissue but to still see an oncologist. My GP recommended DR Nabrinsky who I saw on Feb 21. He recommended 2 blood tests and 1 PET CT SCAN from skull to mid-calf. Blood tests were all normal. I had PET CT SCAN on March 4. Thank God the results came back March 6 with no T cell Lymphoma in my left ear or anywhere in my body. My body did not show signs of any cancer! I was greatly relieved, and can get on with my life. I really appreciate your excellent plastic surgical skills for visual reasons. But most importantly, you removed all the T cell Lymphoma tissue with precision and meticulous care! Thank you so very much.Jim Letterer

My Story With Dr. Dhaval Patel Double Board Certif – Dec 18, 2023
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Patel?
Dr. Dhaval Patel & his team are the BEST!
Dr. Dhaval Patel is a cosmetic Magician! I had a stye the size of a blueberry under my eyelid and I went and saw Dr. Patel to get it drained. It was quick, painless & throughout the entire process, he made sure I felt relaxed and well-informed. I can confidently say that the entire experience was nothing short of exceptional. He demonstrated a level of precision that can only come from years of experience and dedication to mastering his craft. The stye was expertly drained. Furthermore, the entire staff treated me with utmost kindness and professionalism, making my experience truly enjoyable from start to finish. In the days following the procedure, Dr. Patel & his team provided exemplary follow-up care, ensuring my recovery progressed smoothly. You can tell that Dr. Patel and his team really care. Also, his office building is easily accessible off the highway & has plenty of parking. It feels more like a beautiful spa retreat than a medical practice. I highly recommend Dr. Patel!

Peter A – Jul 22, 2023

Dr. Patel is a skilled surgeon, however the business practices of his office are unethical. Although Dr. Patel was a contracted provider with my insurance and the insurance company agreed to cover my medically necessary procedure, he refused to work with the insurance and told me all necessary documentation would be provided for me to file the claim on my own. That was a huge red flag I overlooked due to necessity of having the procedure done quickly. It took many months to a year of emails and phone calls with the office and outpatient surgical center to receive appropriate documentation that I pieced together for the claim. Dr. Patel's office then attempted to file their own claim and indicated I had not paid for the procedure, which was false as I had receipts of all payments that were required before the procedure. The situation eventually required legal intervention and the Illinois Attorney General. Dr. Patel delayed the process and refused to refund the $5405.39 overcharged.

I had Dr. Patel do a lower eyelid Blepharoplasty surgery on both of my eyelids. He said it would be pain free. NOT. I was in excruciating pain for one and a half hours before he came to realize that he needed to re-inject me with a different anesthetic. The last half hour was just tolerable. I also came away with dry eye. The whole thing was a BIG MISTAKE

Dr. Patel and his highly skilled and thoroughly trained staff leave nothing to chance. Patients are treated with the utmost respect and diligence. He listened to me and my husband. He believed in my symptoms and has a long list of symptoms recognized with breast implant related illness for me to check off and review with him during consultation. Information regarding your procedure is plentiful with written material to support all prep as well as after-care directions. Great results.

Deciding among multiple plastic surgeons in the Chicago area proved to be a rather difficult task. After perusing both the reviews section and 'before and after' photos I decided to schedule an appointment with Dr. Patel Plastic Surgery. I woke up the morning of my first consultation extremely anxious and somewhat apprehensive to even show up. The anxiety I had quickly went away within the first couple of minutes of meeting the staff. Their hospitality and welcoming nature is like nothing I've e

I love Dr. Patel and his office. He has been my go to doctor twice now (breast augmentation + tummy tuck & BBL), and I have not been disappointed. He’s very knowledgeable and attentive even during recovery. He will never have you do anything or a procedure that is not necessary. He is very personable and humble for a very well known plastic surgeon in Chicago area. His patient care coordinator will work with you financially as well. I could go on and on like a broken record, but I say go to Dr.

Left my face horrendously scarred and mis shapen. Neck has dog ears - a sign of negligence. Stay away if you do not want to be horribly disfigured. He refuses to revise and refund the money he literally stole from you. I cannot even get a complete copy of my file.

Had to have 3 surgeries in total instead of 1. He comes across skilled but my results prove otherwise. He might be good for boobs or lipo but stay away for face. Go to a facial specialist.

Dr. Patel is the best Doctor I have ever had for various reasons. His "bedside" manner shines each time I have an appointment. He doesn't rush appointments, very personable with a genuine concern for my well being. He's performed three surgeries on me each turning out flawless. Dr. Patel is a surgeon who understands the gravity of the job he is undertaking, but has a great sense of humor which I feel is an imperative trait, too. Without a doubt, he is a highly skilled double board cert. surgeon.

I am couple of months out from my breast implants and lift and I am extremely pleased with my results. My lift scars very fine and hard to see even though it's only been couple of months. Now I am considering getting my tummy tuck to get rid of my loose skin and fat from by belly and hips area. Thank you Dr. Patel for your wonderful care. I highly recommend Dr. Patel if you are considering plastic surgery in Chicago area.

My husband and I went for a consultation. Dr. Patel spent a lot of time listening to our concerns and explaining our treatment options. He even won over my husband who usually is skeptical and hard on doctors. I chose to do tummy tuck and Brazilian butt lift with fat transfer. My husband had his eyelids done and neck fat and loose skin treated with lipo-scultpure? technique and laser tightening. The surgery turned out really well for both of us. We are both very happy with our results.

We're all looking to age well and look younger..right? Well at least in my case .. I was. My friends recommended a really popular plastic surgeon with Lifestyle facelift (I will not mention his name but he has done my aunts surgeries) anyways so I decided to get facelift & neck lift. long story short I had complications and did not get good results. Dr.Patel performed my revision surgery. He is hands down one of the best in Chicago area! My Face and neck look natural and not fake! Thank you!

I chose Dr. Patel after researching cosmetic surgeons in my area. His education, experience and reviews are all excellent. I met his staff and they are extremely friendly, helpful, and encouraging with me. Dr Patel does a great job talking about the procedure, why I wanted to have it done (rhinoplasty), and what to expect afterwards. The procedure, results, and follow up visits were all exactly as he described. I started to feel like family during my follow up visits which speaks volumes.
