dr. patel understood what my goals were without me having to go through a lot of explanation.. he got that i wanted a "natural outcome". and to that end, the surgery was a total success. i took pictures to other surgeons and they were not interested, and barley glanced at them, but dr. patel ASKED to see pictures of me from the past. in any service profession, the mark of a creative standout practitioner is attention to the individual.
