11/20/2025

As I said previously we found Ms Patel a caring and professional person. She gave us an explanation for all the findings. We never felt rushed and would definitely recommend this practice. Unfortunately this practice is hard to get an appointment bc I guess they are so good at what they do. It took about 5 weeks before we could get in as a new patient. Wish they were in the Greensboro office more. We got in earlier since there was a cancellation. We appreciate everyone who tried their best to get us in because my husband was in so much pain. Thank you all.
