Dr Patel may be an excellent surgeon but his office is awful. I had my 6 week tele appointment tonight and spent over an hour online and nobody showed up. This seems to be standard for them. The office does not give answers to questions and on call physicians never call back. I have been a medical professional for 50 years and I'd rate this office as one of the worst I've ever seen. The surgery was good but it is an assembly line and they expect all patients to be and do the same. If you have prostate cancer be very careful choosing a physician, just because they have done 15,000 or more surgeries doesn't mean they are good.

I thought going for the surgeon with 10,000+ was the best move. I was wrong. 2 years out I am still incontinent which I believe is from botched surgery for a very simple tumor (size less than 5%). Another surgeon wrote that taking Viagra before surgery helped him. I sent 2 emails asking for advice and never got a response (negligence). So I took the pill. Apparently it swells the prostate and enhances bleeding which may have upset their highly mechanized routine procedure. My advice to anyone needing radical prosetectomy? Find a new urologist eager to prove himself, early in his medical practise, who will cherish you, be extra careful and fastidious and not put you on an assembly line that has no room for change.

Dr. Patel managed to put together an outstanding team of people. I have not experienced that level of care anywhere else. That combined with his surgical skills and medical expertise made the surgery as pleasant as a surgery can be. Thank you Dr. Patel

The surgery was one of the easiest medical events of my life. In and out in one day. Everyone at Florida Hospital and Dr Patel's staff were friendly and skilled. Catheter bag off in only 5 days ! No incontinence. Walking over a mile in 6 days. Kept waiting for all the extra bills since Dr Patel is the number one rated surgeon. None ever came. My Humana medicare advantage covered it all. So blessed that Dr Patel accepts most insurance plans as payment in full. Could go on, but if considering surgery Dr Patel is the best, period.
