    Dr. Patel was my surgeon for the tractomy, vacular whole surgery, and he did an excellent job, and I'm very happy with the results. [redacted] I receive excellent care when I'm there with all the people that I need to see. My only comment that I would like to improve would be the amount of time that he spends with me and his explanations. I feel like maybe he sees so many people that he doesn't have much time and he doesn't really want to take the time to explain. It's always generally bare minimum. I'll have to ask questions to get any more information. And he's kind and respectful. [redacted]
