London, England.......
Dr. Patel is a great surgeon and I have felt taken care of throughout this surgery. My friends who know I had eyelid surgery say “Wow”. And my other friends say “You look great” but don’t know what’s different.
My husband Rick was blessed with "heavy eyelids" which interfered with his eyesight and peripheral vision. It is something his father and other family members also deal with. We heard Dr Patel was the best and so met with him and we were so impressed with his knowledge, concern, and great care he gave my husband. He noticed that my husbands forehead muscle was thick and heavy and would continue to put pressure on the eyelids so we chose to do the eyelid and forehead muscle lift surgery. This is a procedure that he created and executed beautifully. He not only can see better but he looks younger and not so tired and old. WE LOVE the knowledge and experience Dr Patel has and would HIGHLY RECOMMEND him to anyone!
I have gone to Dr Patel for 2 surgeries. About 4 years ago, I had what I would call an eyelid lift. At the time, Dr Patel knew it would not solve all of my problems, but it was all my insurance would pay for. Then, this year, my optometrist noted that my forehead and heavy eyebrows were blocking my vision again. I was referred back to Dr Patel. In every interaction, Dr Patel is eternally happy and upbeat. He greets me with a big smile and kind words. He works (and talks) quickly and efficiently. I exudes confidence when you are with him. For this most recent surgery, Dr Patel explained that my scars would be hidden in one of my forehead "folds" (not sure if that is the proper term). I scheduled my surgery, and went in with no fears. The surgery went well, the recovery was smooth. The results have been to or beyond my expectations. I would re-do this procedure again in a moment. Dr Patel is the best! (and look how much happier i am in the post surgery photo!)
Dr Patel did a fantastic job with his facelift “revision” on my face. I had given up hope after a botched facelift 5 years ago left me with scars and stretch marks that no other doctor would even consider correcting. Not only did Dr Patel take me on, he worked MAGIC! Both my husband and I are forever grateful. I look like my natural self again and I am ready to put my nightmare behind me and look towards the future. Thank you, thank you, thank you Dr Patel!
