I had an appointment as did my husband. Mine was diagnosed as trigger finger and I had a X-ray that also told me there was no arthritis. My husband was looking for a second opinion and was given additional options.

I was very happy with my appointment with Dr. Patel. I was in excruciating pain, and I've never dealt with it before, so I was very confused. He explained exactly what was happening and our treatment plan. I was confident that this practice was going to get to the bottom of my issues.

Verified patient
Dr. Patel is very knowledgeable, nevertheless he only spoke about surgery. Even after I expressed my concerns, he never spoke about trying physical therapy, cortisone shot or other option first.
Verified patient
I made an appointment to see Dr. Patel for pregnancy induced carpal tunnel and he was great. For context I was in a ton of pain and hadn't slept the night before because of it. When I got to the office the receptionist was welcoming, professional and kind. There was a bit of a wait but he was in an emergency surgery, so was to be expected and he was apologetic about the wait. He listened to my concerns, did a thorough exam, took his time while setting realistic expectations. I didn't feel rushed at all and he explained every step of the process, while giving me options, and explaining the risks. In the end, I walked out feeling a thousand times better than I had walking in. I would highly recommend this practice and Dr. Amit Patel.

I was able to get my 90 year old mother some peace of mind. They were able to X-ray to rule out any fractures and ultimately referred to a Rheumatologist. I had no success getting her appointment right away with a rheumatologist but when I called this hand specialist she was seen in a day. He did what he could for her hopefully the meds he prescribed will give her comfort until she can be seen by a rheumatologist. The office was clean, Dr Patel had emergency surgery was the office called to alert us he would be running a little late. As we left, we could see them washing chairs down, keeping things clean and sterile.
Verified patient
He was very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail to me. He was very nice to talk with. Office staff was very nice and I didn’t wait very long before going back to a room. Overall a great experience.
Verified patient
I didn’t get the sense that he dealt with carpal tunnel syndrome at all. I was being pushed into surgery and no cortisone shot. I felt like he’d never done one before because he kept telling me all the reasons why it wouldn’t work. I was scared. He gave me a shot and it has worked, though I know it’s temporary, but I was very afraid.
My office visit was in the top 3 physician's office visit ever. The entire staff was friendly, professional and most of all compassionate. Great customer service! Dr. Patel is very knowledgeable and I felt very confident that he can help me with my hand issues. Overall I had a great experience.
