Nilesh A. Patel
"I had a great first impression of Dr. Patel. The seminar I attended was very organized, I received alot of useful information, and was impressed with the staff as well. I had a consult with the doctor that same day which I thought was awesome, I was sure I was gonna have to make another appointment and pay another co-pay etc. But it was more like a one stop shop. The Doctor and the staff were professional and it seemed like they really understand and care about each patient and it not about getting paid. I have Aetna insurance and they ask for everything including the kitchen sink. I was very discouraged and felt overwhelmed to get all the documents and information the insurance needed. But I never gave up thanks to his staff who stayed in contact with me and helped keep me motivated. I have only recently submitted the items to the insurance. I pray that I am approved. I want this WLS and it will happen one way or another. If Aetna won't approve it then I will switch insurance at open enrollment and make sure Dr. Patel is a doctor in that network. He has an emphasis on aftercare, which is awesome. Having this surgery will allow me to get my life and health back, aftercare will allow me to maintain and never get back to this point again. The doctor was very thourough in explaining not only the benifits but the risks as well. I would rate this doctor a 10. He has an awesome reputation, has done hundreds of WLS, and is very dedicated to his practice. Thats what I can tell you so far. I have been working with the office since 08/07 and I have yet to have the surgery, but i feel great about the surgeon I chose because I had heard horror stories. The only thing I didn't really like was that the consult after the seminar did seem a bit rushed, but I had all the information that I needed anyway. Well I hope this was helpful to anyone considering WLS with this surgeon."
