Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Patel was assigned to do my radial head replacement surgery after doctors shattered it while placing my dislocated elbow in place. At the follow-up appointment two weeks after surgery and after reviewing my Xray the energy in the room changed, not until months after, and with no success with PT to gain my mobility back I learned that my humerus head was out of place and that he did not clear all necessary bone fragments around, which caused jame in back of my elbow which is causing limited mobility and second surgery. I wouldn't recommend Dr. Nimesh Patel as a good choice for your surgery.

Recheck
I had a couple of falls this past year and I was having some discomfort in my one knee replacement. Dr. Patel listened to my concerns and ordered X-rays to make sure everything was okay. All was fine and he ordered a med for inflammation. I appreciate that he takes his time to listen.

Knee replacement surgery
Dr. Patel did my knee replacement surgery 6 months with no complications. Every aspect was well done. I have had 2 checkups since. He also replaced both of my wife's knees over 10 years ago. Well done!

Harvard trained and an Excellent Surgeon!!!
Dr. Patel gave me a new knee and my life back!He also put my daughter back together again after a freak rock climbing accident. When I saw her I thought she’ll never walk again but she danced at her wedding in August! He’s not only patient and understanding but he’s also a trauma surgeon. It doesn’t get much better than that!He sets the benchmark for other surgeons and genuinely cares about his patients. If you are thinking of getting a joint replacement, this is the one doctor you must see. Thank you Dr. Patel!!!

Listened and wasn’t quick to recommend surgery
I was pleased that Dr Patel listened and didn’t just jump to surgery. Negatives were the 1+ hour wait and no one has called in my prescription going on 5 days now We physically walked downstairs in order to set up PT appt. My husband has been waiting 3 weeks for PT to call and schedule his.

Staph infection left elbow
Dr. Patel performed my second surgery 2 days after the first one. The infection had not reached the left elbow joint but was overwhelming the bursa, so it took two surgeries two days apart to make sure they got it all. All the procudures were explained and the only discomfort I had was from the long, deep surgical wound and IV tubes restricting movement. All nurses and assistants were professional and warm, making a difficult time easier to deal with. I'm looking forward to a complete recovery without restrictions. I give Dr Patel, Dr.Grossman, and nursing staff a 5 star rating.

I have had 2 surgery’s by Dr Patel and all I can say is if I need any more replacements hip knee which I have had in the past by him I will go back to him, I trust him completely and my family does as well. The visits that I have with him before surgery and if I’m having a problem he explains things so that I can understand it and doesn’t mind if I ask numerous questions which I tend to do, so I would give him and I did five stars and I do recommend him highly SJones

He did not see me on my first visit. Was he not interested? I am in a lot of pain and really got no solution to help. I saw he was standing in the hall but did not speak. Not the kind of treatment I expected.
