    Dr Patel was clear, quick, and did an excellent surgery but did not mention tourniquet procedure on upper arm for my elbow surgery. My hand gave me lots of pain, swelling, and was black and blue.

    Dr. Patel was excellent! Took time with me and explained my options clearly. Had a trigger thumb and he gave me a steroid injection which so far has worked great. Will definitely go back to him if needed.

    Dr. Amar Patel did a fantastic job with my 'trigger finger' surgery. He did a very clean job with the incision. Only two stitches were used. He was knowledgeable, confident and cheerful all at the same time. I couldn't be more pleased with my choice in Orthopedics.

    Great experience. I went in thinking I would need surgery based on another doctors comments. But Dr. Patel suggested a much less invasive route. 4 mo later I'm still pain free. Highly recommend him!
