Dr. Patel is a ray of sunlight in contrast to the murky gloom of uncaring, unconcerned and all too often uneducated healthcare providers that seem to be the norm these days.
I knew he was different when he interrupted my low expectations and said simply, ""fatigue and discomfort is your body's way of letting us know something is not right, you should never ignore that message."" I was so surprised that I was speechless for a minute.
I had seen several ""specialists"" prior to him that I was really skeptical that he would actually find something wrong and be able to treat it.
He found it in the second visit. Dr. Patel is a miracle and when I think about how four of the physicians I saw before him ""listened"" to me for about 5 seconds before trying to push an antidepressant on me, I feel really luck to have found Dr. Patel.
I haven't felt this good since I was in high school. I just wish I could clone him and get rid of all the dead weight passing for medical staff out there!
