    Dr. Patel did an excellent job of explaining my issue, the treatment options, benefits & downsides of each, and never rushed me or pushed me to decide one way or the other. I really liked & appreciated his care style & would definitely recommend him to others.

    The surgeon was very nice and he let me know how long it will take me to completely heal from my abscess. He told me I would not need surgery.
