Dr. Sharma is a great doctor. He listens and explains things well. His surgical assistant—whose name I unfortunately forgot—is outstanding. She’s kind and patient, and she always inserts my IV on the first try. I know I’m in excellent hands with them. Thank you for your kindness, patience, and, most of all, empathy!
J. Paulsen
Dr. Udit Patel is the absolute best! I feel like he actually listens to me instead of brushing me off. He goes through all the right steps to give me the care I need and deserve. He’s also hilarious, so if you want to have a good laugh, he’s your guy.
I. Chavez
Pain & Spine is a well-run medical office. The reception staff is very professional, and the medical staff is thoughtful, caring, and kind. Dr. Patel explains every step he takes, and his PAs and assistants support him very well. Dee is a very kind and caring person, and they are lucky to have her.
