    Dr. Patel was super nice and very knowledgeable about Medtronic pumps! I have had mine in for almost 7 years and he is the first doctor to set it so I am getting pain relief! I have not ever been to a nicer office and staff. He is number 1 by me. My life totally changed now he does my pain medication.

    The whole staff and Dr. Patel seem expert and experienced to me. Dr. Patel talks very fast but I think that I kept up.

    Dr Patel was chatty and made me feel at ease with the procedure. His Staff did very well and kept me informed of all things leading up to the procedure.

    Listen, they treat me like family. Always make sure I’m good! From the front window, to the nurses, PA to Dr Patel back to the check out window. Even the office manager greets me when I come through the door. I go out of my way to always try and lift their spirits with a joke or a well placed smile. I can’t brag on them enough
