Testimonials

"I would highly recommend this doctor for any and all foot issues"

Prior to having my bunion removed (10+years), boy was I nervous. But to tell the truth, Dr. Patel put me at ease with everything from start to finish. My foot healed exactly as he said, and I wondered why I put it off so long. Susan’s nurse/office staff took care of all the paperwork and working with my insurance; always on hand to assist with all my questions.

When the time came for my other foot, well it was a no-brainer. Dr. Patel is my only choice! I would highly recommend this doctor for any and all foot issues—nothing to be afraid of -take care of those feet.
Sincerely,

"On my first visit, Dr. Patel diagnosed the problem as Plantar Fasciitis and began treatment"

I was dealing with nearly unbearable pain in my left foot. I was barely able to get through each day. I was sure my neuropathy was the problem. I went to a local podiatrist who told me the only problem I had was the neuropathy in my feet and I needed to see a neurologist. After conferring with my family doctor he referred me to Dr. Sanjay Patel.

On my first visit, Dr. Patel diagnosed the problem as Plantar Fasciitis and began treatment. After following Dr. Patel’s advice I no longer have pain in my left foot.

"He is definitely one of the best."

I have had a few minor foot problems and each time I have seen Dr. Patel, he is nice, professional, and puts my mind at ease. The office staff and nurses are all very nice.  I always recommend Dr. Patel to friends who are looking for a podiatrist.  He is definitely one of the best.

"Compassionate quality care."

Compassionate, quality care. Dr. Patel has been my provider for two-foot surgeries with quick successful outcomes. His office has helped me work with my insurance company to ensure coverage of a surgery-specific device, knee-walker, that made my surgical recovery so much better. Excellent service.
