TESTIMONIALS & REVIEWS

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.

Due to several eye surgeries, my right eye lid could barely open. The doctors felt it needed to stay that way to protect my cornea although I had very little eyesight in that eye. Fast forward several years: I had four severe falls with an 8 month period - all falls had been to my right side. The doctor decided it was in my best interest to have Dr. Patel raise that eyelid. He didn't promise a miracle, but he produced one!! Because of his expertise, the eyelid was raised to match the other one. The best part, however, is that because of the surgery, I am able to see more clearly on my right side and have not fallen at all. Dr. Patel is a Miracle Worker!

I have been very satisfied with the results of my Injections. Dr Patel has an eye for giving you the exact look you are going for. Highly recommend him!

I was referred to Dr Patel by a friend that was seen by him for a similar issue that I was experiencing. I was involved in a car accident, I suffered major face trauma. I had a shattered eye socket and broken nose in 3 places(left and right side and deviated septum). The surgeon I was introduced to did my surgeries, yes surgeries. Over the course of 7months I had undergone 6 surgeries, major to "minor" but still traumatic while trying to heal internally from the accident itself. I also dealt with steroid injections to try to improve the eye damage. At this point I reached out to a plastic surgeon for a second opinion on how to repair my eye lid(from the trauma/surgeries). He would not attempt nor see me for more than just advice, we looked up specialists at the appointment where he had referred me to Dr Patel as well. I finally had enough of being poked and stitched, I decided to take a break. I needed to really think about what I was doing in allowing so many surgeries and having the disappoint of it not working and enduring all the pain. I was than reminded about a specialist in SLC at the Moran Eye center Dr Patel. I waited almost a year before reaching out to Dr Patel's office to schedule a meeting. I had to wait a couple months to be seen, but it was worth it. Within seconds of meeting Dr. Patel, he knew exactly what was needed to fix my eye. I could not believe how fast, he knew what needed to be done. That in itself showed me that I had made the right choice in seeking a new Surgeon/Specialist. With all this being said, I went through with the surgery and here I am 6 weeks later and so much more confident and pleased with my results. He had to do a skin graft to fix it properly. Sometimes it is up to you to make the decision on going elsewhere or seeking other options to get the results you deserve and want. Thank you Dr Patel and staff!

I had not appreciated that after five and a half years - & with a prosthesis - eyelids can change. Dr. Patel and his team bent over backwards to help me and I am very grateful to him, to Abraham and to Dena. They were an amazing and HUGE help in helping me build back my confidence and feel the way I want to feel with regard to my facial aesthetics. Dr. Patel said he would take care of me and he did! He explained in detail the general circumstances surrounding my situation and eased my frustrations immediately. He explained just how much the eyelid can change in a matter of extended time. Dr. Patel clearly cares about his patients (so does his staff!), as he was available to discuss and clarify all of this with me personally.

I am so happy that I came to see .Dr. Patel. I have been struggling with issues about my appearance since my accident. I had a doctor that was not giving me the results he was promising. I sought out a second opinion with Dr. Patel. After meeting with him the first time I I knew I was in the right place. He explained to me exactly how he was going to help me and I was very confident in his ability. And he delivered everything and more. I have been so self-conscious about my appearance after enduring many surgeries for facial reconstruction . I felt so embarrassed about my appearance. Dr. Patel was able to go in and put a stent in my eye clean up all the damage and Scar Tissue. Tighten up my eye and my tear duct is now working. My appearance is amazing I feel like I look like me again. And I truly believe he is the best at what he does in the state of Utah. I wish he would have been the first doctor that I encountered after my accident. I don't feel I would have had to gone through so much trauma to get to where I am now. He is very knowledgeable I'm very passionate about his work. And I am so grateful to have such amazing results. After trying a Jones tube three times with no luck I must losing the low vision that I currently have due to the tube not staying in place and it wasn't the right procedure for my trauma. I would advise anyone looking for help after having an accident that involves anything to do with your eyes to seek out dr. Patel. Sincerely, Shelly Park
