Not only a comforting bed-side demeanor, Dr Patel is also well rounded on many fronts. Great Doctor and Conversationist. I do believe I've found a new Ophthalmologist.

In total 1.5 hours for appointment, only about 5-10 minutes was spent with Dr. Patel. A very competent technician / optician performed the eye exam for prescription glasses, and Dr Patel only checked the back of the eye, from what I was told. In the past, Dr. Patel had performed all of the tests herself. The technician selling the glasses (Ishmael) is also very competent and helpful.
