I consulted with Dr. Ashish Patel because of my severe sleep apnea. I was very impressed with both his medical knowledge and his ability to relate compassionately with me. I wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend him to anyone in need of his professional services.
Cannot recommend Dr. Patel enough. Got two impacted wisdom teeth extracted earlier today, one was very close to nerve so slightly more tricky. Was in and out quickly with no pain during the procedure, and very little pain so far compared to my previous extraction. Staff is confident and helpful, and they even played my favorite band for the procedure. Thank you!
Dr. Patel is a master of his skill and knowledge. I am so thankful and impressed with the care I received from Dr. Patel. I had an impacted wisdom tooth way back and deep, laying horizontally in my jaw. The impacted tooth created a tumor ( thank God it was benign ) the tumor destroyed my jawbone.
Dr. Patel cautioned me that there was a definite possibility that my jawbone would fracture. In that event, a titanium plate and screws would have been necessary. Dr. Patel also cautioned me about nerve damage....I have no nerve damage...my jaw did not fracture during surgery and my bone is completely regrown! Dr. Patel is the kindest and most personable person...his talent and knowledge and skill are extraordinaire! I recommend Dr. Patel and I am completely confidant you will be in the most capable hands of anywhere in the Pacific Northwest.
