This provider was really great with my son. Very patient, very kind, great bed side manner, answers all my questions, and really has my child's best interest at heart. Thank you for providing such a good care.

Dr. Patel has dealt with all of my children, dealing with ENT and asked me if I wanted a second opinion on one of my children. And I said, if you're asking me to go to another doctor, I will not because you were the only one who's ever found out what was wrong with my children.

Dr Patel is a knowledgeable and compassionate specialist. We also appreciate that he uses language that makes the child the focus (ex. Children with trisomy 21 sometimes have issues with... rather than saying downs children sometimes have issues with...)
