Dr. Patel was our children´s pediatrician as was his partner Dr Saksena. They were the best We loved them both. We lived close to Bro Menn and our youngest son under 2 years old had developed pneumonia and there was a snowstorm and frigid temperatures. Dr Patel made a house call to make sure he was ok.
Can you imagine that happening in1973 or today?
A very unusually kind and talented man.
