Recommends Available On Time Friendly Professional Knowledgeable Understandable Reachable Helpful StaffI would highly recommend anyone suffering from chronic pain to see Dr. Patel. He is the first doctor ever to actually listen and take the time to understand what I am, and what I have been, going through for the past 30 years. Dr. Patel is also confident enough in himself that he doesn't get offended or insulted if I ask for explanations or don't immediately agree with what he is saying. Dr. Patel spends whatever time is necessary to offer explanations and to answer any questions I may have before I leave. his office. I had to give up my primary doctor, who I loved, when he changed medical groups because it would mean having to switch to another pain doctor. If you are in pain, you have to see Dr. Raj Patel.
