My son is autistic and the nurse and Dr. Patel were amazing. They were understanding with the fits he was throwing. They took their time and was patient with him and with me and just made us feel very comfortable and it was just an amazing visit. I could not recommend Dr. Patel or the nurses anymore. Even my sons were hugging the nurses at the end of the visit which is huge because every doctor's appointment is a total nightmare. Not with Dr. Patel but just in general with autism and not understanding. But yes, highly appreciate them.

Dr. Patel was one of the best doctors that we have ever seen. He was very good at explaining everything to us. He was very kind and compassionate. He really seemed to care and listen to us and I would highly recommend him.

We have two daughters, one who sees another ENT and this visit for our newborn. Having spent time with the doctor, we are transferring our other daughter to his care. He's fantastic.

He listens and explains things well. The only downfall is how long it took to schedule an appointment.
