I really appreciate Dr. Ankur Patel's professionalism. He is good with kids and adults alike. He takes kids seriously, which is extremely important, and he listens well to adults. His explanations are direct and helpful. He communicates in plain language that is understandable even to someone without a medical background. I am grateful for this visit.
