Wonderful experience with Dr. Patel. Had droopy eyelids and they look terrific after surgery. Very detail with his surgery. No scars visible.

I had droopy upper eyelids that affected my ability to drive at night. During my followup exam for cataract lens replacement surgery, my opthalmologist recommended Dr. Patel as one of the best Oculoplastic Surgeons in the country. My ptosis surgery involved internal incisions so as to resection the Levator muscle and effectively raise my eyelids, while also shaping the eyelid curve to look natural and more youthful. And that is exactly the result Dr. Patel achieved. I recommend him wholeheartedly.

Dr. Patel did Ptosis surgery on my son’s left eye and it has changed his life! Dr. Patel is an absolute professional and is perfectly skilled at his craft. This doctor is the definition of an expert. Thank you for changing my son’s life!

Dr Patel was prompt and answered all my questions. He took time to find out about my injury and what others had done for me. When we didn’t have an immediate answer he requested some earlier test results and reread them. He also took the time to call me himself and give me information about what he had found. His staff was equally wonderful. They made me feel like it mattered that I was there and that they were concerned for my wellbeing. Highly recommended Dr Patel.

I would highly recommend Dr. Patel!! He listened to what I wanted and knew what I needed to correct my eye lid problem. I couldn't be happier with the results after having surgery. My peripheral vision is so much better. Thank you, Dr. Patel!

I had initially seen a Plastic Surgeon to fix my eyelid that was droopy. Although he tried his best be didn't give me the result I was hoping for. After researching a fix I realized that I should have seen an Oculoplastic Surgeon who specializes in this type of surgery. Enter Dr Patel. He was so humble and kind and spent the time explaining the surgery along with answering the numerous questions I had. He gave me the results I was looking for. I highly highly recommend his talented hands.

We've lived in the Carolinas our entire lives and have seen many excellent physicians leave for bigger and better opportunities so it can be hard to find good care. Dr. Patel is a talented young man who I can see him becoming a known name in his field. He provided my wife and I extensive support and care and was there every step of the way. His big city training is impressive which is why I wouldnt have trusted anyone else for my wives surgery. God bless him.
