Dr. Patel is a wonderful surgeon. I am two weeks into recovery now. This is my 2nd spinal fusion surgery. My first was 12 years ago. Last time I spent 5 nights in the hospital and lost all my core strength. I had to rebuild strength from zeroe. With Dr. Patel I spent one night in the hospital. I walked and went home the day after surgery. I am very greatful to Dr. Patel for making this as easy as possible by using newer and more advanced methods. He's a very nice guy as well. That always helps
