Charleston Oculofacial Plastic Surgery

"I am writing for my elderly mother who suffers with a neuro muscular disease. The disease greatly affected her ability to hold her eyes open because her eyelids had excessive loose and droopy skin. She actually taped her eyelids up in order to see. Dr. Patel performed upper eyelid surgery to include removing excess skin and tightening the muscle in the lids. The results were immediate and one hundred percent effective! His surgery gave her the relief and sight that she had prayed for."

"Dr. Patel was HIGHLY recommended by my ophthalmologist for lower-lid blepharoplasty. I feel extremely fortunate to have been able to be seen by him. Every one of the staff was wonderful. Dr. Patel has fantastic "bedside" manners. At once, I was comfortable upon meeting him. I was informed of what was taking place and what would take place during my surgery. I didn't want to go under anesthesia, so I was very pleased to have the procedure done in the office. After voicing my favorite type of music, the tunes were started and the procedure began. Extreme professionalism and tender care were shown to me every single step of the way...from my first time in the office, to my checkup, the week after the blepharoplasty. I was amazed how many people commented on how great it looked RIGHT after it was done!! We stopped at the pharmacy on the way home to pick up a prescription and the pharmacist actually commented on my wonderful appearance; she took note of Dr. Patel's name!!! Dr. Patel is a very, very kind and caring person!!"

"An excellent experience All the way around with Dr Patel and his staff. I drove 2 1/2 hours to see Dr Patel. Dr Patel was very caring and explained everything that was going to go on in my procedure. The procedure took about 10 minutes. I was very comfortable and relaxed. I highly recommend Dr Patel and his staff. I would drive. 2 1/2 hour, AGAIN, to see Dr Patel and his staff. - Michael"

"I have worked in the operating room with Dr. Patel for over 5 years. He has a wonderful bedside manner and his patients truly love him. He is very knowledgeable in his field and pays very close attention to details. As an ocular plastic surgeon, he understands that your face is what everyone first notices. From seeing his patients’ results, I had an upper and lower blepharoplasty performed by Dr. Patel. He did a wonderful job and made my eyes look significantly better. Several other co workers of mine are also planning their surgery with him. He explained everything to me about the surgery, the potential issues, and the recovery process. Dr. Patel is a very thorough and highly skilled surgeon; I give him my highest recommendations. - January E."

"I am a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist and I have worked closely with Dr Patel for about the last 8 years in the Midlands area. As an anesthesia provider, I have worked with many surgeons during my 30 year career. Dr. Patel is one of the most gifted and skilled surgeons I’ve ever had the pleasure to work with. I have delivered hundreds of hours of anesthesia care to his patients over the years and I was always amazed at his skill and fantastic results. I have referred friends to him and all have been happy with their outcomes. Not only is Dr. Patel a truly gifted surgeon, he is one of the kindest and most pleasant persons I’ve ever worked with. I’m certain that many of his patients in the Midlands area will drive to the coast to see him. His departure is a loss to our area, but it will be a great gain for Charleston and the surrounding communities."
