“Dr. Patel is one of the best doctors I have encountered. He has excellent bedside manner and took the time to sit with me and explain my pain condition in great detail. He also reviewed the procedure step by step and answered all of my questions thoroughly. I was quite nervous before meeting him, but he eased my concerns and made me feel comfortable. I would highly recommend him to my family and friends.”

“Dr. Neil Patel listened carefully to my issues and informed me about the procedure very well. He has very good bedside manner, I’m usually very nervous but he calmed me. He even showed me what he was doing on skeleton model and also showed me post injection Xray pictures. His staff is very professional and courteous as well. I recommend him and this practice to everyone. ”

About Dr. Neil Patel

Dr. Neil Patel is a board-certified Anesthesiologist, trained at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and a fellowship-trained Pain Medicine physician who completed his pain management training at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County in Chicago. He specializes in the comprehensive diagnosis and treatment of both acute and chronic pain conditions. Dr. Patel takes a multidisciplinary, evidence-based approach to care, with an emphasis on minimally invasive, image-guided procedures that target the root cause of pain rather than masking symptoms. His goal is to restore function and quality of life through individualized treatment plans tailored to each patient's needs. He treats a wide range of conditions — including sciatica, herniated discs, joint and spine-related pain, and neuropathic pain syndromes — and is experienced in advanced interventional techniques such as nerve blocks, epidural injections, radiofrequency ablation, and spinal cord stimulation.

My visit with Dr. Neil Patel was excellent. He provided really good care and helped me with my pain. He explained the whole process before starting and was very thorough with his work.
Dr. Patel was very kind and patient with me! As someone with chronic back pain and poor posture, he put me at ease with understanding what options I have to treat my pain. The entire team at Loop Medical Center was so kind and helpful and I’m already feeling so much better after my first treatment!
