Dr. Patel was very informative about the procedures I was facing and made me feel comfortable, confident and most importantly.. relaxed..he spent quality time prior to the procedure explaining all the options and laying out his plan of action..now I can’t wait until the stitches come out..you can be assured another 5 star review will be written!

Dr. Patel has great bedside manor and has done an incredible job with removing an abnormal mole from my back. When my dermatologist turned me away for the procedure, Dr. Patel took my case. Minimal scarring after just one month and complete confidence in the work he has done and will continue to do. I definitely reccomend him for this type of procedure.

My then 5-year-old daughter was bitten in the face by a dog two years ago and when I rushed her over to Riverview hospital they recommended the Samra Group. Dr. Patel in the Samra Group ultimately took care of my daughter’s plastic surgery. They were quick to get her in and very careful and so kind and comforting during this very traumatic experience. I thought my daughter’s lip and face would never be the same. My daughter’s face healed so well and you can’t notice a scar. I’m so grateful to Dr. Patel and the whole Samra Group for helping my daughter.
