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.

Dr. Patel was very knowledgeable in my problem with trigger finger and took the time to explain the issue. He made me feel comfortable with the choice of treatment he suggested and was very supportive, positive and professional.

Dr. Patel
Dr.Patel did an excellent job on my wrist surgery as well as my dislocated elbow. He explained my injury details and is plan of action. He was very good at encouraging me that I will be healing as soon as possible while going to therapy. He also answered all questions I asked him during post op visits. I really felt very comfortable with his help in my healing .

Feel like I got scammed.
At first he was very helpful and seemed very concerned about my pain. I saw him because I had a mystery mass on my left index finger that was causing me a lot of pain and affecting my work. He had me run all the tests; an xray, an ultrasound, and mri. However nothing came up on any of the tests. We tried a steroid injection into the site and that briefly worked for a few months until the pain came back even worse. At this point it had been months into seeing him. Then he told me he didn't know what was wrong with me and recommended me to some other doctors. All were outside my health insurance coverage so I had to go on a wild goose chase to find a new doctor to help me. Fast forward to today and I apparently owe him over 1000 dollars for an old appointment that was supposedly covered by insurance already. I'm crushed and heartbroken. Feels like a stab in the back after he wasn't able to help me at all.

He is very thorough and listened to my concerns. He was skillful in the process of relieving my pain in the short term, and I knew it would be temporary until I could accept my dysfunction. Although I strive to not have surgery, I feel confident that this is my path based on the info provided. Although nervous, I am confident in his surgical skills and look forward to regaining function of my hand and relieving my pain.

I like how he took time to explain why surgery was needed and what it should accomplish. My only regret is that I didn’t ask what to do about the pain until surgery.

Dr. Patel treated my adult son with autism after he broke one wrist and severely sprained the other wrist. My son has seen countless doctors during his life and there have been few who knew how to connect with him and alleviate his anxiety. Dr. Patel, on the other hand, knew exactly how to work with my son. He was very kind, thoughtful, prepared my son for each and every step along the way at the appropriate time and he also did a thorough assessment at each visit to determine my son’s healing status. He also allowed my son to rehabilitate his injury with a professional that my son already trusted, which definitely helped the process move forward. I highly recommend Dr. Patel for his compassionate bedside manner and his knowledge related to hand and wrist injuries.

I was seen by Dr. Patel after a knife injury to my dominant hand (Nov, 2019). He was efficient, thorough and professional in assessing my symptoms and scheduled me for surgery immediately. He explained in detail the nature of my injury (partially severed medial nerve), the surgery required, and the prognosis afterwards. He was attentive to my concerns and provided comprehensive answers to my questions. At the same time, his demeanor was consistently patient friendly and encouraging.
