Patel Plastic surgery

Dr. Patel was awesome! He removed a dermoid cyst from our one year old daughters eye. We were so nervous because she is so young but Dr. Patel quickly made us feel comfortable. He did an amazing job on the surgery and it is healing well. Definitely one of the kindest doctors we have ever met. Highly highly recommend!

Dr. Patel saved my sight. Because my eyes had been bothering me, I was referred to Dr. Patel. He told me I have Graves' ophthalmopathy, which would take about three years to resolve. This condition causes eye muscles to swell and often the eyes bulge. In about 5% or less of cases, the muscle swelling causes pressure on the optic nerves resulting in visual issues. This was happening to me. I started on drugs but my condition worsened. In March 2016 Dr. Patel referred me to neuro ophthalmology and I started on prednisone. In April 2016 my neuro ophthalmologist, Dr. Judith Warner, prescribed 3 infusions of 1000 mg of prednisone. In spite of the drug therapy, my condition continued to worsen. By the end of April 2016 vision in my right eye was almost gone. Dr. Warner consulted with Dr. Patel about surgical options. On May 4, 2016 Dr. Patel reviewed images. That evening I had a CT scan and Dr. Patel scheduled surgery for the morning of May 6, 2016. Unfortunately, some of Dr. Patel's eye lid surgery patients were delayed because of emergency surgery necessary to save my sight. Dr. Patel performed bilateral orbital decompression surgery and the vision in my right eye was restored. Dr. Patel told me this disease would take 3 years to resolve and he has been right. After surgery May 6, 2016 I recovered well but the disease continued to flare. In May and June I saw Dr. Warner who was concerned and prescribed 3 high dose infusions increased daily prednisone dosage. My condition worsened and Dr. Patel performed another emergency bilateral optic nerve decompression surgery on July 1, 2016. Dr. Patel and Dr. Warner met with Dr. Yin Hitchcock, radiation oncologist. In July and August 2016 I had radiation therapy under Dr. Hitchcock's direction. In September 2016 my condition began to stabilize. Since then, Dr. Robert Hoffman has performed 3 surgeries to resolve the double vision I have struggled with since May 2016. Now I am adjusting to my "new normal" as Dr. Warner calls it. My vision is not what it was 2+ years ago but I can see. I am very grateful to Dr. Warner and Dr. Patel for my sight.

From beginning to end the service and care I received from Dr. Patel and his team was excellent! I was treated with the utmost courtesy, care and consideration. The results are truly obvious! I would recommend Dr. Patel to all.

My name is Kerry Cole. Three weeks ago (10-16-20), I had surgery to fix stark ptosis. Unbeknownst to me, over the years my peripheral vision had been severely impaired. I was directed to the Moran Eye Center where I met with Dr. Patel for consultation. During that conference Dr. Patel described the problems associated with ptosis, and how these obstructions could be corrected with surgery. He then took the time to explain different procedures that surgeons use to remove the excess skin during from around the eye. Dr. Patel said his new procedure follows the normal curves of the face and wrinkles on the forehead which makes the scar lines almost undetectable. I decided to go forward with the surgery. Immediately after the surgery I noticed a huge difference with my peripheral vision. It seemed to be restored to normal and I noticed that objects around were much brighter. It has been several weeks since the procedure and all the sutures are gone. The incision lines on my forehead are already almost non-existent. My wife and family say they can see a dramatic difference in my eyes and face in general. I want to thank Dr. Patel for taking the time to explain the difference in procedures and performing his procedure which I feel was best for me. The attached pictures were taken the day my sutures were removed.
