Testimonials
What Patients Are Saying
Dr. Patel is an extraordinary physician! He is the remarkable combination of skilled physician and caring human being. I felt so safe and cared for during two surgeries, first a lumbar spinal nerve decompression and later a Xlif (extreme lateral interbody fusion). I was so grateful for his skilled surgical approach which gave me a faster recovery with minimal blood loss. I have already referred several friends to Dr. Patel!

Words cannot express my satisfaction with Dr. Patel and his staff! Dr. Patel truly gave me my life back after a herniated disk L4/L5 pushed up against my sciatic nerve and caused horrific pain down my leg to my toes. After exhausting all non-surgical options, he performed a simple procedure to remove the portion of the disc pressing on my nerve. Best decision of my life as I am now pain free! He is a nice and pleasant man, kind person and absolutely wonderful physician.

Dr. Patel was able to get me on his schedule as I was suffering from a ruptured L5 which was causing constant pain from my sciatic throughout my leg. After a lengthy surgery, he removed the ruptured part of the disc and the sciatic pain was gone. Very small incision healed without issue. 3 months later, just had my last follow up visit and have had all restrictions removed. The quality of his work and his bedside manner is top notch, I would highly recommend him to anyone with back issues.
