Dr. Patel Is excellent! In my entire 77 years I've only had 3 doctors who have the knowledge, skills, experience and patience to explain in honest detail my diagnosis to aid in my decision to take or not take action. He is definitely one of the three. Too bad he and the other two doctors can't be cloned. Thank you God and John Hopkins.
