Philosophy Of Care

As a hand and upper extremity surgeon, my goal is to provide every patient with compassionate, high quality care. I believe listening to my patients symptoms is key to identifying the correct diagnosis and to creating an evidence-based treatment plan that optimizes health and functionality. A focused, well directed course of therapy can successfully treat many hand, wrist, and elbow ailments. If surgery is necessary, I am trained in both cutting edge open and minimally invasive techniques. I have experience caring for the most complex injuries, including replantation and reconstruction of amputated hands and fingers. Whether your hope is to return to professional sports or perform daily activities without pain, I am committed to working with you to achieve your goals.

He was excellent with showing me my X-Rays and talked me thru my options for surgery. We determined which one that would be best for me, and I will be having him do the surgery in the fall.

Dr Patel is a wonderful doctor. He is very kind and empathic. He always takes the time to address every question and concern, and never minimizes or dismisses any worry I have. I never feel rushed in my appointments. He always gives time for questions. He even gives time to process the new information so if any new questions or concerns arise, I can ask.
