Dr. Patel gets my highest recommendation for reconstructive surgery on my lower eyelid, which had 60% of my lower eyelid, including a nickel sized piece of skin, removed underneath the eye, due to cancer. Now, my eyelid looks just like the other eyelid and he did it without a skin graft!. Most people comment, “You would never know you had reconstructive surgery.” Dr and I were very pleased with the results. Dr. Patel was very professional, is talented in his field, and thorough in explaining the procedure and follow-up instructions. He was understanding and sensitive to my concerns about my face. He also had humor, which helped when I was anxious.

Dr. Patel and his staff were wonderful to work with. I had DCR surgery (Dacryocystorhinostomy) to create a new tear drain. Dr. Patel is friendly, kind, knowledgeable, and easy to understand. The staff assisted me greatly in scheduling surgery and with followup appointments. I am so happy with a perfect outcome of my new tear drain. No more tears constantly running down my face.

Dr. Patel has been a godsend in helping me with the sagging skin under my eyes. I tried everything imaginable and was hesitant to get surgery thinking i wouldnt look like myself. After talking it over with him I went ahead with it and have been so pleased with the results. My friends all think I got a haircut, went on vacation, or have been eating well and are none the wiser and I love that I still look like myself. Im sure Ill tell them one day. Ill be back to get some Botox or Fillers to look even more refreshed. Thank you Dr. Patel!

Excellent doctor. Explains all questions his patient might have & listens very carefully about all concerns before & after your surgery. His personality is wonderful I would definitely return to him if needed.

Excellent experience with the physician. The office severely overbooks (4-5 patients at the same time), often gives you the wrong time, or location. Expect to waste 1-3 hours waiting or driving all over town to a different location due to poor scheduling. Office also does not return calls the first time. If he were not one of the few in the area, I would not be back as my time is valuable too and it is rude to have patients wait hours due to office screw ups.

I was referred to Dr. Patel by my Dermatologist for skin cancer near my eye. Dr. Patel is beyond awesome and did an excellent job. I am very pleased. He is a very caring person. My ENT physician actually asked for his name so he could refer patients to him.

Last summer you operated to give me a medical eye lift so that my quality of life would be improved.I am so very happy that I am now able to drive with infinitely more confidence. My peripheral vision is greatly enhanced. Other drivers no longer honk at me when I move left to pass them :)Thank you so very much for your surgical gifts! Also, thank you for your attention to the healing process and your sense of humor during my recovery. I appreciate everything you did for me.

I had a Melanoma on the inside of my lower eyelid. Dr Patel did the surgery, removing the cancer and reconstructing the eyelid. He did a fantastic job, the eye looks almost perfect now. He is very talented. He is also a nice guy, easy to talk to, makes you feel comfortable and taken care of.

Dr. Patel was recommended to me by my optometrist. So very glad I chose him for my eye surgery! His calm manner and great listening skills were just what this nurse needed. And the outcome was tops!
