Patient Reviews
Jul 06, 2022
I had been unsuccessfully seeking treatment for a very painful and crooked finger for over 2 years. I went to Dr Patel who listened carefully and did a thorough examination. He offered options for treatment of which I choose surgery to shave the bone and implant a metal rod. Within 2 months of my initial visit, I was on my way to recovery. The staff was friendly, communicative, and caring. All appointments, including post-operative therapy were on time, which shows a level of caring rarely seen these days.
