Physician, Assistant Professor
Urology
Department: Urology
I am a reconstructive urologist specializing in caring for patients who sustained loss of urinary and genital function after trauma or cancer treatments. Trained in genitourinary trauma and reconstructive urologic surgery, I treat a variety of conditions including incontinence, erectile dysfunction, urethral strictures, ureteral strictures, radiation injuries, and devastated bladder. I also provide surgical options for buried penis and can perform minimally invasive surgeries.
As a reconstructive urologist, I have a unique opportunity to support and empower people through some of the most vulnerable stages of their disease process. I am passionate about doing all I can to help restore each person’s quality of life, and my patients can expect compassion and empathy in every encounter. I believe in a holistic approach to care and always tailor treatment plans to the patient’s specific needs and values.

Very kind and answered the test question
I would never recommend this provider for your ostomy surgery. Did not visit pre-op the day of surgery and he was the attending. The resident that was performing the surgery never visited pre-op. Still can't get a real complete solid answer as to why the place in the stoma is in such an awkward position according to other doctors and nurses and how it disrupts my life. I don't feel like I'm being listened to at all
Dr. Patel is Wonderful, he's passionate about his scope of practice. He listens, and answers all questions both professionally and compassionately. I only wish I could have shook his hand, as I have been a hugger my entire life.He has a wonderful heart and soul.Gives off excellent energy, and he's caring.I'm so happy I no longer have to carry napkins, and a portable urinal.The last two weeks before surgery I wasn't sure I was capable of taking anymore.As I had nocturnal urea, which is not only humiliating, but embarrassing as well.I can't possibly express how amazing it is to have as much control, as I presently do.Thank you so much, as well as the other attending surgeon, and entire surgical team.My care for overstay was very appreciated as well.
