Doctor Patel was amazing. Very caring professional and considerate. He put my mind at ease and told me everything is going to be ok. And that he will be there for the duration of the operation and part of my aftercare. I felt as if I was important and Dr Patel took me seriously I wasn’t just another number, That had come into his office that day.
