                Dr Patil was very thorough and patient in her examination. She took time to explain why I did not need surgery. I did not, however, see a report from her on my UPMC which I would like to give to my own eye doctor.

                Despite both parents being in the room and answering questions about the patient, the PA kept asking questions directly to the mother, starting all questions with "Mom...". This came across as very ostracizing and as though I (as the father) was not a part of my son's medical care.

                Dr. Patil and her fellow were amazing providers. Both were thorough in their examination of my 7 month old daughter. Examining a 7 month old can't be easy and they made it seem effortless. They had tricks to keep my daughter happy and also accomplish what they needed to. Dr. Patil explained her concerns, exams, their care plan, what would happen during each step in the appointment, how long it would take, and why. She was a wonderful pediatric provider, as was her fellow.
