We believe true healing requires more than just physical recovery—it demands thoughtful attention to each patient’s goals, expectations, lifestyle, and emotional well-being. By tailoring every treatment plan to the individual, we aim to restore not only function, but confidence, independence, and quality of life.

Dr. Patel is THE BEST. After seeing to other doctors and being unsatisfied with their care, I found Dr Patel's practice online last year when I was in search of a hand specialist for my carpal tunnel and trigger finger. Dr Patel is informative, caring and reassuring.~ C M ~
