It is my great privilege to write this recommendation for Dr Vastel Patel. I was diagnosed with fourth stage rectal cancer which has metastasized to my brain stem. I am almost 76 years old and NEVER have I received such conscientious care from a physician. Dr. Patel desires to be precise in his treatment. He goes the extra mile planning and researching what is best for each patient! Dr. Patel also takes a great deal of time with his patients. He listens to his patients which is very important! In addition to knowledge that he already has, he is willing to seek input from others and garner information that will be helpful in treatment. My personal experience with Dr. Patel has been superior! I rate this doctor 10 stars!!

Dr. Vatsal Patel was our locums provider for two weeks in February of 2023 at Enloe Cancer Center Radiation Oncology Department providing vacation coverage for Dr. Steven Wahlen. Our department has the ability to treat patients on the MRIdian Lineac Accelerator and we also have the TrueBeam Linear Accelerator. Dr. Patel did a treatment plan for a prostate patient for the MRIdian and noticed the difference between the MRIdian and TrueBeam simulation planning and outcome. It was a great privilege to work with Dr. Patel as a Registered Nurse in this department. Our clinic was highly interested in hiring Dr. Patel permanently, as he is a very experienced and knowledgeable radiation oncologist. Our patients had so much appreciation for his expertise and care of their health concerns. He spent the time to answer their questions and made himself available when a patient needed him. Dr. Patel had approximately sixteen consults per week. It is now April and patients are still asking about Dr. Patel. It was refreshing to work with a provider with a sweet disposition who would take the time to educate myself or any of the staff on his treatment planning or concerns he had for a patient especially socioeconomic issues that may interrupt the treatment course. Dr. Patel worked very well with our other provider in the clinic, Dr. Jonathan Clark and our staff. When Dr. Wahlen returned, he was pleased with the work that Dr. Patel did. The transition was smooth for Dr. Wahlen to be able to return and jump right into his daily routine. I know for a fact that if Dr. Patel was to reach out to our clinic and ask if there was a position available, we would make it happen. I am grateful to have worked with Dr. Patel and have learned so much from him. Any patient that receives care from him, is getting 150% of efficacy with the outcome to reduce serious side effects.

Dr Patel is very knowledgeable. I learned something important about my cancer that I did not know. I wish I had learned about it a year ago. I learned about the ‘PSA bounce’ phenomenon within first two years from Dr Patel. – Jeffery Herrara.
