It is my great privilege to write this recommendation for Dr Vastel Patel. I was diagnosed with fourth stage rectal cancer which has metastasized to my brain stem. I am almost 76 years old and NEVER have I received such conscientious care from a physician. Dr. Patel desires to be precise in his treatment. He goes the extra mile planning and researching what is best for each patient! Dr. Patel also takes a great deal of time with his patients. He listens to his patients which is very important! In addition to knowledge that he already has, he is willing to seek input from others and garner information that will be helpful in treatment. My personal experience with Dr. Patel has been superior! I rate this doctor 10 stars!!
