Dr. Patel is a wonderful doctor/surgeon. I called his office asking to see if they could help with a problem I was suffering from for years. I spoke with the receptionist and explained my problem and what I thought needed to be done. I asked her if this is something that Dr. Patel could do. She took my message down and said that she would call me back within a few days to let me know. She did better than that. She called me back with in a few hours she told me that she spoke with the doctor and he said that yes it is something that he could do but he wanted me to see a neurosurgeon first because they would need to work together. I called the neurosurgeon Dr. Willam Couldwell. I first saw one of his colleagues Dr. Ansari and then I saw Couldwell himself. They booked the surgery I needed to have which was to build a mesh barrier behind my left eye and to move the left side of my brain back so that it would release the pressure it was causing and the multiple headaches I would get. Because of the pressure my left eye was looking down and about 30 degrees off from my right eye. I had this surgery almost 6 months ago. I’m amazed at the results. I only saw double vision for a few weeks and it went away just like the doctors told me it would. My headaches are now gone and my eyeball has moved up to normal position. I’ve received many comments from friends and family about how good it looks. I would highly recommend Dr. Patel and Couldwell as well as any of their colleagues. They are truly wonderful doctors who care about you not only as a patient but as a person.

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.

My experience with Dr. Patel and his team of esteemed colleagues at the University of Utah Medical Center, the Huntsman Cancer Center and the Moran Eye Center collaborated flawlessly to treat my very rare and serious cancer: sebaceous/meibomian gland carcinoma. Utah is extremely lucky to have immediate access to some of the world's best surgeons. I am grateful to those who worked so hard to bring these world-class facilities to our state; to those who continually recruit the caliber of medical professionals we enjoy and support staff members too numerous to name. I am forever indebted to Dr. Patel for orchestrating treatment swiftly and successfully and for the marvelous reconstruction he performed on my face. I have related my entire story on a post on Dr. Patel's Google Plus page if you would like to learn about the journey we took together.

I'm so happy with the results of my blepharoplasty. Now I look more awake and younger. My eyes don't look puffy anymore and that's awesome Dr. Patel.

My husband was experiencing droopy eyelids which impaired his vision. He has had baggy lower lids for years, but his left eye had become noticeably baggier following a surgery for a massive retinal tear in that eye. He was troubled by his loss of vision and also by the way he looked. We received a referral to be seen by Dr. Patel. We have both been very pleased by the way we have been treated by Dr. Patel's staff and by Dr. Patel, himself. Dr. Patel is an artist in his profession. He completed the Hammock lift with upper and lower blepharoplasty and cheek lifts for my husband. The results are better than we could have imagined. My husband, now looks ten years younger, and he is very pleased with his experience with Dr. Patel. We recommend Dr. Patel for anyone who needs this type of surgery.

I had lines around my mouth because I was a smoker. I hated the way the lines looked old and puckered. I was looking like my mother! I could see the lines in photographs. My aesthetician was amazed at the result of the laser treatment Dr. BCK Patel did for me. My lines are gone and no-one can tell I had them. My aesthetician showed me a photo she had taken before which showed my lines and I was amazed. I wish I had had these treated a long time ago as I love the way my lips look now.
