Patient Reviews
May 23, 2018
I was referred to Dr. Patel and went to my appointment. The front counter medical staff were very helpful and I was in the medical room within 15 minutes. Professor, Dr. Patel, an expert in Rhinology, was thorough with her exam and was reassuring and encouraging concerning my health issue; hypertrophied turbinates and maxillary sinus cyst(s) which have substantially inhibited my nasal air flow. The surgery coordinator contacted me within 48 hours. Everyone was help and informative.
