My husband and I both had eyelid surgery and very pleased with the results. Dr Patel very professional and answered any questions we had . His staff here in St George are excellent and we were very well cared for during and after surgery . Would highly recommend.

I can't thank you enough for the support I've had by a great professional, serious, courteous, very knowledgeable and helpful. He kindly provided me with in-depth clarifications via email regarding my dry eye problem, clarifications that I was unable to obtain from other ophthalmologists due to unavailability or lack of specific knowledge and it seemed to me that I did not get to the bottom of the matter. Dr. Patel is simply wonderful

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!

About six weeks ago I had a lower face and neck lift surgery and I am overwhelmed with the beautiful results that Dr. Patel achieved. All I was expecting was a tighter jawline, soften lines from my nose to my mouth and a firmer looking neck. Not only did he achieve what I had requested, I also have the most beautiful healthy looking skin (smaller pores) and a glow to my skin than I can't ever remember having. I love looking at my profile and my beautiful neck. I look at my before and after pictures and I can't believe what a "skilled" surgeon can achieve. Dr. Patel asked me to trust him to do the procedures/treatments that would give me the best results and that's what I did. He used fat grafts to give volume to my brows (they look fuller) and also raised the bridge of my nose-the horizontal lines are much improved and the "fatness" of the nose bridge is gone. The staff, Dena, Stacie, and Amy were so supportive and helpful in aiding in my recovery from surgery. I'd text them with any questions or concerns I had and would always get a quick response back. It also took some coordination between offices as I had the surgery in Salt Lake, but all my follow up care was in St. George (where I live). Dr. Patel and his staff were so kind to accommodate this arrangements which I'm sure created more work for everyone. Thank you Dr. Patel, I now feel like I look as young on the outside as I feel on the inside. Sherrie four or five years now
