I have only one good eye and I was turned down by several retina surgeons because they were afraid to damage it. Dr Patel reiterated their concerns and risks associated with surgery. I decided that I couldn't live with my level of vision so I decided to let him operate on me. When I got to the hospital, I was eased because all the nurses told me he's the best surgeon they have seen. After the recovery, my vision was amazing, and I have him to thank for that. On a personal note, he's very witty, charming, and funny, always makes you feel at ease. I would choose him over anyone in the world.
