Testimonials
What Patients Are Saying
I was seen in the ER for severe sciatic pain in my leg, including numbness in my saddle region. Thanks to Dr. Patel and his team, they quickly recognized my symptoms were consistent with a rare syndrome known as, Cauda Equina Syndrome. Dr. Patel was on call and rushed to the hospital to perform surgery. He spent time with me before surgery explaining what was going on and what they needed to do to fix the problem. More importantly, following the surgery he spent a good amount of time talking with my wife about the surgery and made sure not to leave until she had all of her questions answered. I thank Dr. Patel for his quick response, steady hands, and knowledge regarding my circumstances. My family will forever be grateful for all you and your team have done to minimize the long-term effects of my syndrome.

I am so grateful for the care I received. Dr Patel is a real gentleman, a true professional. I am an extreme athlete and was concerned that I would never reach my full potential after my back injury. I am happy to say the surgery was flawless. I no longer have back issues and I’m back to my sports.

I've seen Dr Patel for a neck fusion and a back fusion over the last 12 years. He was very tuned in to my needs (returning to sport performance). He is a perfectionist as a surgeon. He is straight forward with his responses so you know exactly what to expect (good/bad). He's also compasionate - he showed me how I could still safely hold my toddler right after my neck fusion. His assistant, Ashley, is excellent as well. When she stands in for him, you are in great care as well!
