We just learned of Dr. Patel's untimely passing. We are shocked and deeply saddened, while we also recall his kindness, compassion and all of the time he gave to us to help us navigate a series of procedures for my husband's heart, in the years we lived in the area.
He will always be remembered by us as one of the finest physicians - head and shoulders above any we've known, in any specialty - all of our lives. We send blessings of love and peace to all who loved him - from his...

Dr. Patel or as he insisted I call him Henry, was the most remarkable and gifted man that I have ever had the pleasure of working with. His cheerful approach was so welcoming when sitting down to discuss difficult negotiations related to his service line. I was always welcomed in with a smile, saying oh-no is it that time again to negotiate with the vendor community Josh. I could only laugh and smile back saying yep it’s that time.
He taught me so much in our discussions...

I just read in the Penn Stater magazine about Henry’s death. I am shocked - he was an amazing man. I knew him as a cardiology EP fellow at Penn State Hershey. He was a kind, joyful, smart physician who I loved working with. Prayers go out to his family. I guess the one thought is that he and Jerry Luck will have much to compare notes on in heaven. My sincere condolences to his family.

I used look forward to...

Dr. Patel gave me the very best treatment I could’ve had when I found out I needed a pacemaker. In 1962 he installed my first one and I never knew when it was working. I saw him often and he gave me such excellent care. When I moved home to Stuart Virginia in 2012, I knew I needed a second pacemaker. I wanted him to install that one too. My cousin, a nurse, drove me to Wilmington North Carolina and we spent the night in a motel. The next day I reported to the hospital and saw the smiling...

I miss my Dr Patel so much. I traveled from Florida to keep my appointments. Dr Patel replaced my Pacemaker/Defibrillator in July. I didn’t get to see him like usual. I still cannot believe he is gone.
I lost my son June 1st and this all seems like a bad dream.
