If you are looking for a doctor that can tell you that they can help you with your problem, this is the man to see! I had back problems for forty years every doctor I talked to gave me an 85-15%that I would be as bad or worse, this one said just the opposite, he said he could help me, 100 % cured back problem, six week out and still no pain , you can't ask for more ! Very good doctor !

Excellent surgeon. Gives honest assessment of your condition. Doesn't sugarcoat. Had extensive back surgery with great results.

Dr. Patel is amazing! My mother had a congenital defect in one of her lower vertebrae. She had both scoliosis and stenosis. At 70, mom’s back had become so twisted that it had begun to pinch the nerves off, leaving her unable to drive, and slowly losing the ability to walk. Dr. Patel is a very talented surgeon, who is able to explain what he does without all the jargon! Mom is walking straight, and pain free!! We can’t fully express our gratitude for this man, and his team. Highly recommend!

I cannot say enough about my experience with Dr Patel! He truly made a decision that changed my whole lifestyle. My previous Dr told me that because my C1 fracture was not healing my only option was risky spinal surgery. I went and saw Dr Patel and he said I could live a normal life without surgery! The first day I saw him he sat down in the room and spent a lot of time going over all my options and what he felt. He made me feel very comfortable and at ease with my situation! He is the best!!!!

I had been experiencing pain down my left leg due to a compressed sciatic nerve. The surgery performed by Dr. Patel was a complete success. I am experiencing no pain whatsoever. I have recommended Dr. Patel to others and I will continue to do so.
