Dr. Patel Changed My Life!!
I had surgery back in 2017 which left the left side of my facial muscles slightly paralyzed. I always had a beautiful, even smile all my life until the surgery. I fell into a depression after realizing the smile I once had would never be the same- until I met Dr. Patel. Dr. Patel has literally changed my life! Since receiving injections my smile is back to being beautiful. I am more confident especially when taking pictures. My family and friends tell me all the time now how happy I am because of the service I receive by Dr Patel. The results are FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!

I had a cosmetic procedure done with Dr. Patel, and I am thrilled with the result. Dr.Patel is an exceptional plastic surgeon with a keen eye for detail and a commitment to patient satisfaction.From the initial consultation to the final follow-up appointment, Dr. Patel and his team provided outstanding care. They took the time to thoroughly explain the procedure, answered all my questions, and ensured I felt comfortable and well-informed throughout the process. I would highly recommend Dr.Patel to anyone seeking a skilled and caring plastic surgeon.

I have never had a doctor as thorough and educational as Dr. Patel. He explained everything about my deviated septum so well with a comforting bedside manner. His team is wonderful and my entire experience could not have been better. I love how he has a background in not only medicine but also sculpture/art. This really helps ease my nerves about a facial operation. I hope to schedule my surgery soon, and I would recommend him to anyone.

Complete improvement in quality of life.
I had been dealing with breathing and sinus problems for well over 30 years. Within 2 weeks of having rhinoplasty, Dr. Patel was not only able to drastically improve my breathing, but it also got rid of the majority of sinus pressure I had experienced on a daily basis for most of my life. I've had improvement in how well I sleep, more energy, and even seen better efficacy from OTC allergy meds. Dr. Patel also has two awesome staff members, Jenna and Desiree, who went above and beyond to ensure everything was in order both pre and post-op. At the risk of sound cliché, this surgery literally changed my life for the better and I can't thank Dr. Patel and his staff enough for the great work that they do.

The best experience ever.
Had a wonderful experience with Dr. Patel. The entire staff was very knowledgeable and just amazing people. I had b. and facial fillers done with NO bruising and minimal swelling. His bedside manners are the best. He takes his time and just does a perfect job. Left feeling like I received exactly what I had hoped for. He is so talented I just can’t say enough. I will gladly drive an hour and a half to see him for my future needs.

Thankful that Dr Patel is a perfectionist
Dr. Patel and staff went above and beyond what was expected. I have a very difficult case due to a vascular lesion that effected my nose, lip and palate. I had my last surgery 2001 in MN. I couldn’t find anyone to treat me other than there. The surgery went as well as could be then due to amount of bleeding associated with surgery. I was left with scar tissue in my lip and my nose was not straight. My septum was deviated. I was referred by a medical professional to Dr Patel and was told he loved taking on difficult cases. Thank God that is true because he agreed to do my reconstruction. Our 4-6 hour surgery ended up being 11 due to the complexity of my case. He is a perfectionist and stayed with me that 11 hours to do all he could do. The results were amazing. I can breathe, which is wonderful since I suffer from asthma and many allergies. I would highly recommend Dr Patel and his entire staff.

Scar repair and PRF microneedling
Dr. Patel works wonders. I had skin cancer removed and unfortunately was left with scars from the removal. Dr. Patel was recommend by a fellow physician, this physician referred to Dr. Patel as an artist. When I first consulted with Dr. Patel he was such a kind person and so knowledgeable. He suggested PRF with microneedling to help reduce the appearance of the scars. I had full confidence in him that this would help and I was not let down. After 3 treatments of PRF with microneedling my scars are more even, the bumps from the scars are gone and they are less red making them tremendously less noticeable. Not only did it help with my scars but my overall skin. Such a healthier more smooth appearance to my skin. Dr. Patel impacted my life is such a positive way that is very uplifting and makes you feel good about yourself. I would highly recommend Dr. Patel.

Dr. Patel is someone who makes you feel very comfortable from the start. He doesn't just feel like a surgeon; he feels like an old friend. He believes in empowerment before and after procedures are done. He wants to help you face those insecurities you may have while simultaneously letting you know that beauty has no standards! He is incredibly easy to communicate with and genuinely listens when it comes to your wants and needs. He lets you take the wheel of your vision while also giving super insightful feedback. He asks you questions you wouldn't even think of to make sure that you get your dream results. He and his team (Jenna and Desiree are so fun and helpful!) was in constant communication before and after the procedure, always checking in and answering questions around the clock. He is truly a one-of-a-kind artist and surgeon!

I am forever grateful for Dr. Patel and his Team. I had surgery in June to correct breathing issues and my crooked nose due to an old injury. My results are phenomenal, I couldn't be happier. I can finally breathe equally through both sides of my nose for the first time in 24 years and my nose is straight!!!! Dr. Patel is highly skilled, compassionate, and treats you like family. His staff are extremely helpful, caring and there to answer any questions you may have. I cannot recommend him enough, we need more than 5 stars...

I had facial trauma after a fall on the beach in June 2019. It included a chin wound that had gone all the way through the skin, which was stitched at an urgent care near the accident. When it healed, a small, but thick, and noticeable lump formed over the site. It could *sort of* be covered up with makeup, but due to the way it healed, it was still there, no matter how I tried to cover it up. I saw Dr. Patel about 6 days after the accident to get his opinion. One thing I really appreciated was how he advocated for letting the body do its own natural healing as much as possible. I had my revision about 21 months after the accident and it was wonderful experience! The scar is now just a tiny line in the crease of my chin and hardly noticeable. I no longer feel self-conscious about my scar. Dr. Patel and his staff are wonderful and made me feel comfortable every step of the way! I would highly recommend them for facial plastic surgery.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Patel and his staff. I have been extremely insecure about my nose for most of my life, and have always slightly struggled with breathing issues. I’m only 19 years old, so I was really nervous when i decided that I wanted surgery. On May 13th I had a Rhinoplasty with Dr. Patel. From my first consultation with Dr. Patel, my nerves were calmed and all of my questions were answered. He was very kind and caring and took the time to listen to me and talk to me and my family. I’m now 2 weeks post op and I’m so happy with my results!! Dr. Patel did exactly what I dreamed of and more. He treats every patient with compassion and always listens to them. Not only is he great, but his staff is also. Each and every one of them offered great care towards me and was available to answer any questions I had & to make me feel more comfortable. I can’t even begin to fully explain how thankful I am for Dr. Patel and his staff.

I am so grateful that a local ENT doctor referred me to Dr. Patel for my septorhinoplasty. After only a few minutes of observation and hearing my story, Dr. Patel was able to tell me exactly why I have the breathing issues I have and what improvements he could make with my breathing and chronic sinus and allergy problems. He was very honest about the process and about which surgical procedures would provide maximum benefit with minimal invasiveness. For me, a multi-faceted approach fixed the majority of my breathing problems - a straightened deviated septum, a reduction of enlarged turbinates, the strengthening of a collapsed nostril wall, and a slight enlargement of the bridge of the nose to increase air flow. The most assuring thing about Dr. Patel is that he listens. He listens to why you are there. He listens to what problems you are having, what results you want, what questions you have. He then devises a plan with you for your treatment and walks with you through every step.
