  • "I have been a patient of Dr. Amit Patel for 10 years. Throughout this time Dr. Patel has been consistently concerned about my health and the issues surrounding my medical complications due to breast cancer, multiple surgeries, infections, hospitalizations and accepting BII, Breast Implant Illness, as a real problem in dealing with breast implants [through reconstruction] and their detrimental damage to the immune system. He directed me to two wonderful doctors - Dr. D. Sachs, breast surgeon and Dr. S. Ovadia, plastic surgeon, who performed chest revision surgery with aesthetic flat closure. I am very impressed with Dr. Patel's expertise, professionalism, dedication and compassion. He is a blessing to his patients and medical community."
