I love places (especially doctors, etc) that run on time. Dr Patel is very prompt and professional. The only hitch is that the frames person took 15 minutes to decide the lenses I need in my pickleball frame are not covered under insurance.
Dr. Patel identified the beginnings of macular degeneration on my first visit with him -- something my mother suffered from. He immediately set up a series of checks, first at 3 months then 6 months, to determine the pace of the development, and outlined the only 3 things I could do about the issue on my own. So far my AMD is stable, but I plan on returning for every visit. I trust Dr. Patel and will rely on his guidance. I recommend him whole heartedly.
The Dr found a discrepancy where my lenses were made at another facility. I will not go back to that facility because they didn't follow his prescription for my lenses. They are more expensive here but it's worth more getting the correct prescription for my lenses.
I have always felt comfortable & trust Dr Patel with my eye vision. The staff is always friendly & professional. I highly recommend Dr Patel.
Ease of making appointment online, front desk staff and doctor appointment all went smoothly. Dr Patel has a wonderful manner and explains everything very well.
