Did anyone have their surgery done by Dr. Nilesh Patel? He works out of Austin, San Antonio, and south Texas. I spoke with his office today, and they said that he is an insurance pay only doctor, meaning, if my insurance pays 80 and i pay 20%, then he just takes the 80 and i don't have to pay the 20. sounds great! i asked his receptionist if he was new and just trying to round up business, but she said no, he has been doing this for a while and is a really good doctor, and that he does it that way because he believes in the procedure. So I just wanted to make sure that he wasn't too good to be true.
