"The staff and doctors were very welcoming and helpful to my family and it made a big difference to my children. I am very glad that this hospital was used for my surgery, and it didn't hurt that my admitting doctor was easy on the eyes!"
"I chose Dr. Patel because I found him to be a very honest man and told you the truth. He was very caring and reassured me that he could help me out. I know that together we will conquer this weight loss battle! If there is one thing I would do over it would be to ask more questions. I was not prepared for the after surgery problems I had with the gas in my stomach. For the most part, Dr Patel is informative, supportive, but allows you to make your own mistakes. Sometimes I wished he would have pushed me a little harder, or motivated me more to "get my behind in gear" and not have let me take 3 years to push myself to lose the weight pre-op. Overall, I would have to rate him at a 8, on the scale of surgical competence and a 9, on bedside manner. "
