In 2016, Dr Patel also saved my life! I was out of state in Az from NC when I was admitted to West Valley with a leaky Mitral Valve. Dr Patel was my surgeon and was so thorough in explaining to me both verbally and through his handwritten diagrams what was going on and the surgery he needed to perform. I was in ICU for 6 weeks after surgery. I was treated as if I were his only patient with care, professionalism and compassion. The nurses raved about the attention he gave to his patients. I will love and pray for this man forever! Thank you Dr Patel!

My husband suffered a severe heart attack while in ICU on another matter and Dr. Patel ended up being his heart surgeon as well. My husband had a quadruple bypass surgery due to several blockages all over his heart. There was several times that we didnt know if he was going to make it. Dr. Patel is probably the most attentive, thorough, talented, kind, knowledgeable lung and heart surgeon Ive ever met. He is comforting when he has news thats hard to accept. He is very true to his word. He saved my husbands life and we will ALWAYS be forever grateful for him. The staff at Banner Thunderbird ICU also told me just what an amazing surgeon his is to work with as well.

Dr Patel saved my brothers life. My brother was diagnosed with endocarditis with vegetation on his heart that led to him needing his aortic valve and tricuspid valve replaced!!. My brother struggled with a lot of medical problems prior to his diagnosis. Dr Patel is one of the Best and most thorough Doctors weve ever encountered and believe me we have met a lot of doctors. I also love Pritie Dr Patels receptionist who is also his wife. She makes things happen and is always reminding you of what to do and is always on it. She never lets grass grow under her feet. Dr Patel and her together make an amazing team and our family is FOREVER thankful to Dr Patel and Pritie for all your hard work and for everything you both have done for our family. No words can be put into place and no matter how many times we say we are soooo grateful we had you both to help!!!Sincerely,Sara McCready Care taker for (Ron Medley)
