    I like to be in his care because I trust his judgment and he’s a very good surgeon. He did my back surgery before and I will be going back to him anytime I have to. And I hope he will be there for a long time!

    See previous note. Dr. Patra excelled in every way, from making me feel comfortable, to going over my MRI, to discussing surgery option, and helping me make my decision. I feel very confident knowing he will be doing my surgery. I'm in good hands.
