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!
my experience with Dr Patel was a wonderful experience the performance from the front office staff the ease and quickness of checking in to the operating room staff the kindness and professionalism of explaining the next steps and preparation plus Dr Patel's visit prior to the operation making sue everything was ok , his expertise and the results was perfect. The way the take care of you after the operation was remarkable I have never received such perfect care.
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.
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!
