Dr. Patel and staff are Great! Very friendly and thorough! I was able to schedule an appointment without a long wait! I chose Dr Patel after doing an online research. AtlantiCare-Dr Patel's site was much more informative than most of the other sites, Dr Patel's includes webinars. I really liked the webinars. Dr Patel made sure that I really understood the surgical procedure and risks. also that I understood what I should expect and what I needed to do after my surgery to insure my success. My impression of Dr Patel has not changed at all, its still Great! I would not hesitate to recommend Dr Patel to my family and friends.

He is a very knowledgeable surgeon. rnMy impression has not changed about him. rnHe has performed surgery's on other members of family. rn His staff is very supportive of him. rnHe has a structured/extensive after program; it is a part of his program.rnHe does address the risks surgery.rnHe poccesses both; surgical compentence and beside manner. He was like that when he treated my mother and my son.
My first impression of Dr. Patel is: his professionalism. Dr. Patel was very thorough in explaining the Lap/Band procedure. He answered all my (million) questions without hesitation. I would recommend Dr. Patel to anyone.
I would like to take this time to tell anyone thinking of having the lap band procedure, to attend one of Dr. Patel's free information seminars. Once you meet him and speak with him, you will know that he is the physician you want to perform your surgery, should you decide to move forward.rnHe is competent, knowledgable and friendly. He really cares about his patients and their success. It is important that you feel comfortable with your doctor because this is a journey for the rest of your life.rnI had my surgery on 9/29/05, and have lost 91 pounds. I couldn't have done it without Dr. Patel. He really stresses the aftercare of doing your part by eating right, exercising and taking your vitamins. rnHe gives you the tool, the rest is up to you.rnAlso I would like to note how important it is for regular follow ups at the office and for you to attend support groups regularly.rnGood luck to all of you.rnMichele
For all of the people out there that have not met Dr. Patel, he is funny, compassionate, educated and wears funny socks.rnAfter initially dealing with the office staff, I was not satisfied, my calls were never returned. But recently it seems that they have had a high turn over, so maybe things will improve.rnDr. Patel really emphasizes after care, but you have to do your part and remember that he has given you a tool, it is not miracle surgery. You will have to excercise and eat right, and go for monthly follow up visits and get your adjustments.rnI know everyone will have a positive experience like I have along with my friends that have had the surgery.
My first impression was oh..ooh, a millieium yuppie... may be a little \"green\" (rookie). But after listening to his presentation and Q&A session and listening his post-op patients, I regain confidence in his skill set. He has a good team members in his group. There nothing I don't dislike about him (except he's dosen't golf (smile)). He's very serious about patient post-op program, that they (the patient) abide by that, in order to achieve successful weight loss. During his presentation and support group meeting, he points out all pros and cons of the WL procedure. rnrnI have great appreciation to Dr. Patel, for he has help me get on the road to better healthy living. I would (and have) referred friends to him.
I have been Dr. Patel's patient since 10/15/04. I LOVE LOVE LOVE him. On 1/6/05 I had the lap-band surgery. On that day I weighed 289lbs. Today 18 months later I now weigh 175. Dr. Patel is as aggresive as you want to be. I try to go to all his seminars and support groups to be supportive for him. He's just awesome. I've sent him at least 8 patients and everyone is also very happy!!! He helped change my life!! love ya Dr.P Holly
