Dr Patel and his PA were excellent and went over all my test results with me
Dr Patel explains the cons of possible surgical treatments in a way I can understand and answers my questions thoroughly and frankly.
Dr Patel is very thorough and personable.
Dr. Patel is amazing!! All that Crew
So far, Dr Patel and his assistant have done an Excellent job of explaining and listening to me about what is going. Although not everything was addressed, enough was addressed that I feel confident moving forward to find a solution
No delays, in fact, got me in early. Dr. Patel and the other staff are amazing! Kind, professional, and excellent practitioners. Thank you!
Dr Patel and his team have been absolutely amazing. This is by far the best medical team I have ever seen. I would highly recommend.
[...] (PA) and Dr. Patel were amazing. Calm, clear, working so well together to deliver their assessment and proposed solution in a way that my wife and I could really hear it. I face a complicated situation, but I left feeling happy and confident that I've found the right medical team to guide me through this healing transformation.
Excellent in all aspects. [...] Dr. Patel and his PAs do a phenomenal job of explaining things clearly and without ever making me feel rushed.
Dr Patel did his best to explain my condition and the tests he Is sending me for in layman's terms. I felt sure of my next steps because of his instruction.
Dr Patel talked to (resident?) about my [...] condition more than he talked to me about what I came in for. [...]
Great quality of care!
"Care" is not what I experienced at all. Dr. Patel was condescending. He couldn't be bothered to explain my EMG results that he ordered, nor did he have any empathy. He was dismissive and referred me to another provider. I don't think he really believed the symptoms I was reporting. I didn't feel heard at all in this visit or previous visits. The PA-C and Dr. Patel had the complete opposite opinions.
Fast service. Excellent team with and including Dr Patel diagnosing my current status. Very pleased.
Astonishingly thorough experience. More information than I expected and the PA was quite remarkable.
Dr. PATEL and his staff are amazing!!
Very professional, good information, kinda late to the meeting
Mr [...] and Dr Patel are a wonderful team and I felt confident that they carefully evaluated my injuries.
I am very comfortable with Dr Patel and feel he will take care of my issues.
Been working with Dr Patel for a year. His care and treatment for me has always been excellent . I'm very appreciatative of my successful surgery with him. Last year I couldn't even walk without severe pain. Today I can walk at least 3 miles per day thanks to Dr Patel.
I had to wait quite awhile for Dr. Patel (45 mins or so), but he was very helpful and thorough when he did arrive. I am happy with and grateful for the care I received.
I feel very positive about my meeting with Dr. Patel and believe he will help me with my condition.
Dr. Patel was everything you'd want a doctor to be, and more. He was instructional, and guided me through everything on my MRI. He listened carefully to all my concerns and showed me on my MRI authoritatively why they were unfounded. He really took time and care to walk me through the specifics of my case. He was extremely attentive and masterful. His approach to treat me was also original and, as I came to understand, the approach that would help me better than any other. His mastery allowed him to take a singular approach that it appears saved me from surgery. I will always be grateful to him, to the department, and to the UW for this. This man is a treasure and remarkable. Truly, one of the greats.
Very caring and knowledgeable doctors. I learned much
I highly recommend Dr. Patel and his entire team.

[...] and Dr Patel were all very helpful for all my concerns.
After several years seeing providers in my home state, I finally have a clear understanding of exactly what is involved with my back condition and a plan on treatment moving forward. Both Dr. Patel and [...], PA were fantastic in how they presented things.
