 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m genuinely so happy with my experience with Dr. Nehal Patel and his entire team. From the very beginning, everything was handled with so much care, which made me feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. The hospital was clean and well maintained, and the staff was absolutely amazing. Everyone was kind, helpful and reassuring. Dr. Nehal Patel himself is wonderful. I really appreciated how patiently he explained everything and how smoothly the entire process was handled. I currently have just one stitch on one side and 2 on another side of my face, and honestly, I’m really happy with how everything has gone so far. I’m so glad I chose Dr. Nehal Patel for my TMJ surgery and would genuinely recommend him to anyone looking for a skilled and caring doctor. Very grateful for the entire experience. ❤️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently had my TMJ arthroscopy surgery at Nuface Maxillofacial Hospital under Dr. Nehal Sir, and I am extremely happy with my overall experience. From the very beginning, Dr. Nehal Sir and the entire staff were incredibly supportive, caring, and reassuring. Their guidance and constant support made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. Even though I was going through a surgery, they made everything feel so smooth and stress-free that I never felt like I was actually going through a major procedure. The way Dr. Nehal Sir explained everything, handled the procedure, and supported me throughout my treatment was truly amazing. The staff was also very kind, cooperative, and always available whenever I needed help. I am genuinely thankful to Dr. Nehal Sir and the entire Nuface Maxillofacial Hospital team for giving me such a positive experience. I would highly recommend Dr. Nehal Sir to anyone looking for TMJ treatment or maxillofacial surgery. If you are considering TMJ arthroscopy or any maxillofacial procedure, I would definitely recommend consulting Dr. Nehal Sir. Thank you so much to the entire team for the best care and support! ❤️
