My Oncologist for close to a decade
He and his office on Davis Hwy were good, fast, thorough, and professional. I also do my imaging and did my chemo with that Woodlands and have no complaints. It was an all round good experience.

I have been a patient of Dr. Patel's since 2015 after I had surgery for breast cancer. The same year that I had been breast cancer free for 5 years, I was diagnosed with colon cancer. I am still seeing Dr. Patel and he is very informative and caring.

I have been seeing Dr. Patel since 2015. I was diagnosed with breast cancer at the Naval Hospital Pensacola. From the very start Dr. Patel has always been honest yet reassuring about my treatment. I always feel that he is offering me the best treatment and makes changes in that treatment when necessary. I trust that he is keeping me on the best path for my continuing good health.
