This has to be the best facelift surgeon in the world! I am thrilled and my friends are jealous.
I had seen some results of Dr Patel's work so I saw three surgeons and also got an opinion from Dr Patel. Everyone passed me to their "assistant" within a few minutes. I had time to ask lots of questions with Dr Patel. Most of all, he told me I did not need the surgery but if I wanted it he would do as good a job as he could. Well, I asked for a face and necklift but he improved a lot of other things as well. I am totally thrilled. He also had a wonderful team who are very knowledgeable.

Eyelid and brow lift surgery with Dr. Patel
The experience and had with Dr. Patel and all who work with him has been very satisfying. I am happy with the results of the surgery. I would recommend Dr. Patel to anyone.

Delighted!!
After a review of Dr. Patel's informative website, I knew he was the Dr. for me. In March I had an upper and lower blepharoplasty. I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. Dr. Patel is a skilled, kind and soothing Dr. "who had me at hello"! After my initial consultation I knew I was in "the best" hands. Thank you Dr. Patel, and to your staff, for the beyond expected results of surgery! YOU made this a wonderful experience. A pleasure doing business with you! YOU ARE THE BEST!!

Love my results of hammock lift
I love the results. It is now just over two months after my hammock lift. I love the results. The swelling of the face was more than I expected. My vision was blurry and I had swelling of the white of my eye. Although I had been told about this, it was still something that worried me. I think I troubled the doctor with my calls but they were very good with guiding me. Expect swelling, bruising and blurry vision. Don't expect to go to a party in two weeks looking perfect. But the bonus is my jaw and jaols and neck also look better and I did not expect that.
05/18/2021
Dr Patel, you are always in our thoughts as I know you saved my sight: I will not forget.
Although you saved my sight a few years ago, I am writing now because my husband told me "did you tell him how grateful you are?" Of course we don't say thank you often enough. So I hope you will accept my thanks. Hope you are looking after yourself. You did my surgery on a Friday at 9 pm as an emergency and I know you had been working all day from what I heard the other doctors training with you were saying. I remember everything. God bless

Simply amazing 11 years and going!
Dr. Patel is amazing! We have been going to Patel for 11 years. My daughter was born with Ptosis. We tried to fix the muscle but the muscle was dead. We went to Patel and he worked his magic. He informed us that we would have to get a final surgery once she has grown. We just did that 2 months ago. Dr. Patel has created a way to not only put a sling from her eye lid to forehead to help her lift her eyelid, but he also creates a beautiful curve in her lid to give more confidence.
05/12/2021
We are so blessed we found you Dr. Patel. Your surgery nurses were joking that they call you "The Magician". We agree!! My wife and I are both so happy with our results
You told us you could find a surgeon where we live in Texas but we decided to come and have you operate on us. My wife and I both agree this was the best decision: you are an amazing surgeon. And your team is so efficient. We will happily come to see you when we need anything. We hope you get some rest: you were so busy with phone calls and patients. Stay well. And thank you.

Very happy with my brows and lids. I look awake but I love the way I look
My heavy lids were making me sleepy! My brows made me look angry! I am glad I got both fixed. I look awake and happy! The swelling took a while to settle and I did not expect the bruising to go to the lower lids and cheeks but the doctor explained that it was gravity. I also had some numbness on the forehead for a few weeks which I remember was supposed to be there but I had forgotten. Otherwise it was smooth. Abraham and Diana are wonderful Thank you to all of you
05/06/2021
Thanks for fixing me doc. Your nurse told me you had no break all day. They need to look after you doc.
Very happy with my eyelids. My wife thinks I look better than when she married me!

I should have listened to you
Please read this in case it saves someone else the problems I have had. Some years ago I saw Dr Patel. He explained to me why he would not do surgery on me. I was too proud to accept that and went had surgery with another doctor. Not one doctor but 18 other surgeries with 9 other doctors in Salt Lake, Provo, Los Angeles, Dallas, Miami and back in Salt Lake. Of course, I ended up in a mess with pain, looking horrible and feeling worse. I was afraid to see Dr Patel again as he had warned me about not having surgery. I finally picked the courage to see him. I will summarize what he did for me with this: I pray every night and thank the Lord that there is someone like him in this world. He has saved my face and my vision and my pain is gone. And I actually look better. I hope this story helps others. As someone else said in the waiting room: "there is a reason why this doctor is busy and popular" so expect to wait to get to see him.

My watery eyes are so much better
I used to pour tears when I would tie my shoes: they would tear real bad. Now, I am cured: I am real happy. Thank you Dr. Patel and your whole team.

Nobody believes I lost my whole lower eyelid
I show off my eyelid to everyone after I lost it to cancer. I was listening to Dr Patel teaching his doctors when he was repairing me but I still don't know how he made me a new eyelid. Amazing work. The University is lucky to have a surgeon of this standard.
04/15/2021
I love my facelift results. I look 20 years younger!
Great surgeon. Great team. Listen to instructions carefully!!!! This doctor is busy for a reason.
04/15/2021
Thank you Dr Patel for saving my son's vision. You may not realize it but you actually saved his life.
04/15/2021
Wonderful experience
I had Dr. Patel do lower eyelid blepharoplasty. I had a very good experience and I’m happy with the final results. I no longer have the bags under my eyes that made me always look tired. I highly recommend Dr. Patel if you’re planning on having any eye or facial plastic surgery. He takes the time explaining what he is going to do, as well as answering any questions or concerns you may have.

My lower eyelids look beautiful: and I am a man!!
I had baggy lower eyelids which made me look tired and evil! I saw several doctors but chose Dr. Patel after my wife's hair dresser suggested this doctor! I am so glad I did. He has a great team. And I had all my many questions answered. He called me at home several times. His team is great. The swelling takes longer to settle than you think. And the vision can be blurry. This was more than I thought I would have but it settled after a few weeks. Very happy. Happy to recommend this doctor and his team. You may have trouble getting an appointment: be patient. I almost went somewhere else. I am glad I did not.

I had my facelift 3 years ago
When Dr. Patel told me things will look better with time because of the technique? method? used, I wasn't paying attention. I am writing this review now because i have seen the improvement with time. I would say the improvement continues for at least six months. Warning: the numbness of the cheeks can last many weeks and the swelling will bother you so use the special dressing he orders for you. Otherwise, just do everything they tell you. The staff are amazing. In surgery they all introduced themselves to me. And Dr Patel and his team were in touch with us regularly the first few weeks so we did not feel alone. My only wish: I said for years I would not get a facelift. I wish I had it done 10 years before!! I have given Dr Patel permission so show my late results. And another negative: you may have to wait for an appointment but it is worth it. Good luck

I can't thank you enough Dr. Patel.
I can't thank you enough for the support I've had by a great professional, serious, courteous, very knowledgeable and helpful.
He kindly provided me with in-depth clarifications via email regarding my dry eyes problem, clarifications that I was unable to obtain from other ophthalmologists due to unavailability or lack of specific knowledge and it seemed to me that I did not get to the bottom of the matter.
Dr. Patel is simply wonderful
04/08/2021
I did not know who to write to at the University so I am leaving my message here because I want to thank the whole team that saved my eyesight
I had a horrible accident and needed many hours of surgery. Dr Patel and his team saved my vision and my face. He has revised my scars and even treated areas that were not affected by the accident so I can look as good as I can. When you are young and a woman, you know how devastating this can be. I am glad I was sent to this team. I tell everyone about your team. We are sending potatoes from Idaho to thank you!

I now know why this doctor is called the "invisible plastic surgeon"
I was looking like my mother (I love my mother) with jowls and really bad neck. I always said I would never get a facelift but I heard about this doctor from my hairdresser who sees everyones scars. I got several opinions and chose Dr. Patel because of his results. I found two of my friends had surgery by him and I didn't know. I am now three months after surgery. Most of my friends just tell me I look amazing and some don't even know I had surgery. My scars are almost invisible! The swelling and numbness took time to settle. And don't forget to look at your photos before surgery because you will forget what you looked like! Thank you Dr. Invisible. Your team was also excellent. And thank you for calling me at weekends to check up on me. I felt very well looked after. I told your junior doctor she was lucky to train with you.

I am very happy with my Hammock lift. But I am writing this to give advice
I thought if I had surgery on Friday I would be able to do my Zoom meetings by Monday. I became frustrated with the swelling and made many calls. Dr Patel told me "if it takes you years to age, it is going to need time to heal" or something like that. I remember he also told me this before surgery and his assistant Diana also told me that when I called. My advice to anyone having this operation is remember to allow for time to heal. And the swelling will be different on the sides and change. The blurry vision I knew I would get. I am so happy with the results though.

Dr. Patel is truly the very best!
What a great experience! Couldn't imagine things would turn out so well. I had a Transconjunctival Lower Blepharoplasty 2 months ago & honestly, never thought it would turn out this good! From the first time I met with Dr. Patel, I knew he was the one I wanted to do this surgery. I was told about him from a nurse & several other acquaintances that had been to him for different surgeries. The entire process from the initial consultation to completion of surgery, was honestly, the very best.

Incredible Neck and Mid/Lower Facelift
Fantastic plastic surgeon. Incredibly talented. Delighted with my 'refreshed' look!!
03/16/2021
Nobody has done my botox like this doctor. I was afraid I had lost him when he moved office but I found him again!!
It is only botox, but I love the way Dr. Patel can raise my brows and make me look natural. And when there is need for any little adjustment, he just takes care of it. I cannot say enough good things about how he does this.
03/16/2021
I had a big cancer on my whole eyelid.
In Idaho I saw a few doctors. Without insurance I had to come up with a lot of money so I let the cancer grow for too long. One of the doctors suggested I see Dr. Patel at the Moran Center. I am always going to be grateful to him and his team: they saved my eyesight and did a wonderful job. Everyone was warm and helpful. This was a different experience from my Idaho experience. I was treated like a human being at the Moran. The surgical staff were excellent. Diana in the clinic was amazing. God bless you all

I had a Hammock Lift. My experience.
My lids and face were looking tired and old. I had seen several surgeons but heard about the Hammock Lift from friends, some of them having had it. I visited three times before I made up my mind to have the surgery.
I wish I had known that the swelling of the cheeks would take some weeks to settle. The pinkness from the laser I was able to cover up by week two. I now know that swelling is different for different people and my acne rosacea probably made me swell for longer.
I expected the tightness around the eyelids but was surprised at the effect on my vision. I was not able to wear my contact lenses for one week.
My eyes were teary for two weeks and I got bubbly swelling of the white of my eyes but it settled in two weeks.
Now the good news: I love my results. My photos are amazing. As a bonus, I also got an improvement on my jawline and neck which Dr. Patel had explained was just a bonus. But I really like that bonus! Overall, I liked that everything was explained.

I rarely write reviews but I had to share my experience and results.
Several of my friends had had a facelift and necklift by Dr. Patel. They all looked really great after they healed. I was very nervous and never thought I would have a facelift. I always said I would age gracefully. It was peer pressure that made me seek an opinion from four surgeons. I chose Dr. Patel because of his results and because he told me I did not need the surgery but everywhere else they just wanted me to sign up. He told me to think about it and ask questions and bring photos to discuss. I felt very comfortable. I don't know how much I can write but the result is I look like I did 20 years ago. I am 67 years old and I was card-Id'd for the first time in 30 years! It made my day. He also has an amazing team. They are efficient and kind. I have asked Dr. Patel to use my photos so others can see what is possible. One warning: you may have to wait to get an appointment and wait for surgery but it will be worth it!!!!
03/09/2021
I didn't want people to know I had a facelift but I can't seem to be able to hide it!
Everyone tells me I look gorgeous. I did not tell anyone I was having a face and necklift. It is so nice to be told I look beautiful after all these years. The last time I remember people telling me this was 25 years ago!!! I have told Dr Patel he can use my photos to show other patients. I am soooooo happy. The preoperative instructions should be read by anyone undergoing this surgery. And when it is your own face, everything always seems like it takes a long time. The doctor even called me at home the first three nights and his team at the surgery center is the best.
03/09/2021
After seeing so many doctors who could not help me, I am so glad we found Dr. pate
It was worth the long drive as we finally have found someone who can help me. He is busy and there is obviously a reason for that! Also great team.
02/09/2021
I was afraid of the "pull look", so I delayed doing a facelift for many years
When several of my friends started to look beautiful, I knew they had surgery. Well, it was with Dr Patel. I met with him and saw his results: amazing. And my result is amazing. I had some swelling and numbness and very little pain. I have given Dr Patel permission to show my photos and if I can find out how to put them on myself, I will share them. I am so happy to have found Dr Patel and his team: his nurses are wonderful and kind and nobody rushes you. His clinics are busy, however, so you may have to wait a bit! Not complaining, just saying!!
01/21/2021
I am glad my endocrinologist sent me to Dr. Patel for my thyroid eye problems
I was suffering and suffering!! It took a while, but I am now helped and very glad Dr. Patel guided me. I was in a hurry to have surgery and he showed me why we should be patient. Once I was stable, he did surgery and I feel good but look great. I have learned to be patient!!!Thank you Dr. Patel.
01/21/2021
My wife now keeps on looking at me
Dr Patel removed some scars and corrected my brows and lids from a botched job. I asked him if he was on TV because my wife things he should be! Thank you to Dr. Patel and his team at the Moran.
01/12/2021
I really did not think you could make much of a difference to my face
My husband always reminds me of what you had said: "trust me, I will surprise you!" And you have. My granddaughter does not find my turkey neck now. My grandson who is six said "Grandma you look different." and then he said "you look like mom!" I started crying.
Dr. Patel you are a blessing. And you were so kind to answer my hundreds of questions and concerns. I am going to take your advice and enjoy every day of my face. As you said to me "please look after my face". I promise I will. God bless.
01/12/2021
All my friends tell me I look so much younger
So, happy with my surgery. Thank you Dr. Patel for fixing me. And making me look younger!
12/22/2020
I had no insurance and a serious problem. Nobody would help me. I was blessed to be sent to this doctor. He helped me when I was despairing.
I cannot thank Dr Patel and his team enough. I don't want to go into all the details but they helped me and made me better. I had a cancer eating my face. And they saved me so much money. I have names of doctors I saw who would not help me but I don't want to cause trouble. Thank you and god bless you and your team

I did not have surgery by dr patel
I did not have surgery by Dr Patel because he explained to me why I did not need surgery. I had seen three other plastic surgeons and I had been told different things by all three and I was confused. All wanted me to sign up for surgery after the first visit. This doctor took the time to show me why the surgery I was looking for would give me only a very little change and why it was better to wait. It is nice to know that there are doctors who will be honest. Thank you to you and your whole team for being so nice
12/17/2020
I am completely confident in Dr. Patel's surgical skills.
Dr. Patel at Moran Eye Center is so experienced. His surgical talent made the results of my surgery to fix drooping eye lids exactly what I was looking for. He is professional and personable. He explained the procedure in detail and his surgical team was amazing. The follow up care was very easy. I would highly recommend him and the Moran Eye Center experience.
12/13/2020
Love my facelift results. I have given permission to the doctor to use my photos. Wonderful experience. I am glad I came down from Sun Valley to see Dr Patel
I love the way I look now. Is all I have to say. Be patient if you have trouble getting an immediate appointment. I was not very nice on the phone and I have said sorry. There is a reason why this doctor is popular.
12/13/2020
I have been to many clinics for my botox. This doctor really knows what he is doing. I told him and his staff that he is just amazing
I know you need skill and experience and the eye of an artist. Dr. Patel definitely has it all. I also saw one of his patients who was a few months after her surgery. When she told me she was 69, I could not believe it. When I need surgery, I know who I will see!!! I never leave comments but I had to say this. Thank you Dr Patel and team. You are amazing
12/10/2020
I told my family "Dr. Patel is a magician"! He made me a brand new eyelid after I lost it to cancer and I swear my fridnds cannot tell how he did it
The best surgeon I have met. Thank you to your whole team for being so great!! The University is lucky to have you and your skills in this State
