"Initially Dr. Patel seemed a bit overly enthusiatic, but upon speaking with him it was evident that HIS was a heart felt passion for the care of bariactric patients. I met with him on the phone, then in person and was impressed both times. He seems to be honest, forthright and genuine. Most importantly, I trust him and feel safe in his hands. Although, I had another appointment with a group closer to my home, Dr. Patel's personalized service makes such an impact that any minor inconvienance on my part is not an issue.*** Well, I am adding to this profile to say that I am now post-op and all is well. Dr. Patel is very kind. I credit my doing very well with his expertice. I was up and walking within two hours and besides the gas pain (which subsided quickly) I was simply sore. It is my feeling that he so gentle during the surgery that the pain is minimal. Being gentle takes time and patience, two traits that I think that Dr. Patel has been blessed with. Thank you Dr. Patel."
