“I was nervous (a little) and in pain (a lot) due to an angry hematoma on my foot, and Amit put me at ease! He explained treatment options and very efficiently treated my condition. He’s a great listener and made sure that I was comfortable. He booked my follow up appointment and sent me home with clear instructions and a smile! The office and staff are lovely! Once healed, I will book an appointment for the rest of my skin.”

Amit Patel genuinely cares for his patients and always listens to their concerns. He provides the best care possible for his patients. I highly recommend him.
Amit is seriously the nicest human and makes you feel so comfortable. I’ve gotten Botox from him a few times and he really listens to you regarding what look you’re going for and explains everything he is going to do before he does it. He has great bedside manner, professional and is very knowledgeable of all the facial muscles. He takes his time and follows up two weeks later to see if you are happy with the results. Highly recommend him.
