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.

Update: Dr. Patel reached out to me ASAP, to address the issue and has assured me that he will take care of me! He explained in detail the general circumstances surrounding my situation and will be easing my frustrations immediately. He explained just how much the eyelid can change in a matter of extended time, and it has been over 5 years... plus, things are more complicated in my case due to a prosthesis being involved. These are things that have to be taken into account when addressing the aesthetic concerns when doing these types of procedures, and unfortunately I was not fully aware of that. Dr. Patel clearly cares about his patients, as he was available to discuss and clarify all of this with me personally. The original review is below, and was left before I discussed these things with him, and it no longer applies!
Original Review: An unfortunate experience, because I now have to redo the ptosis surgery that I had Dr. Patel initially do. I guess I should've trusted someone else in the first place, because my droopy eyelid is still droopy, but hopefully when I get it 'fixed' this time, everything works out for the better... His (as well as his team's) lack of clear instruction and attention did not make this a pleasant experience. They had a nonchalant attitude and hands off approach that left me with more questions than answers.

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.

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.
