Dr Patni always makes me feel like whatever is going on with me really matters. He never just glosses over even the smallest concern.
- 5 out of 5 starsReviewed on 10/11/2025
Dr. Patni is most definitely our fairy godfather! He saved my husband's life twice! He has let me cry on him when I don't know what to do for my husband. He always explains things so that even a dummy like me can understand! I tell a lot of people about him but then sometimes I don't want to tell because I don't want him to never have enough time for us. He gives us care like no other doctor ever has. Whatever you pay him, it's not enough. And I mean that sincerely because he has a heart bigger than the whole United States for his patients. Don't ever ask me to say anything bad about him or his right hand nurse because they treat people like family when you come into their office and that's the way we all want it. I don't know where we could get better care and I'm going to tell him he's not allowed to retire until we're dead. I hope you enjoyed this as much as I enjoyed riding it because I really can't say enough about Dr. Patni and his team. Thank you
