Dr. Amit Patel

 "In November of 2009, I developed persistent dizziness, chest and abdominal pain, all within a two week period with no prior incident or cause. I saw numerous doctors, had multiple tests performed...with no results!... Dr. Patel performed a series of tests and immediately saw problems that no other doctors prior could. He quickly began procedures to determine where the problems were stemming from and worked on them until I left with reduced pain and suffering.  

Now 8 months later, I still receive treatment for a disorder that Dr. Patel diagnosed through his efforts and practices. The disorder is still affected circumstantially and cannot be treated with medications and or surgeries, but Dr. Patel will immediately get my body to function properly when it's not."

"After my stroke I was very confused and sad. I also had a lot of shoulder pain. Now I feel much better. I am much more optimistic and I can see the improvements. The pain has improved 100%! Now my only frustration is dealing with the limited mobility." 

                                                                                                    Nicole H., 2010

"Before I started the Nutritional program, I was on an herbal program that was just not working at all. My quality of life was almost completely gone, the pain in every joint in my body was excruciating. The muscle pain was also unbearable. I was not able to do any of the little things each day like type, walk, sit, reach, or squat, No Kayaking or bike riding.  

Now Life is much better. The program has completely changed my quality of life. I am able to perform household chores, type, bike riding and even kayaking. The pain is bearable and even at time feels like it is gone. This has been the only program that worked for me. I am very grateful to Dr Patel and his staff."

"I was very tired and sluggish. I was aging fast and losing energy. I was also depressed and sick alot and my acid reflux was out of control! Now I've regained most of my energy. I also am not depressed or sick like I was before. I have no more aches and my acid reflux is gone! I'm very happy with my program!!"

"I felt lousy with low energy, sluggish and achy. Since I started on Dr. Patel’s Nutrition program I have lost 5 pounds, my cholesterol is excellent and my sugar levels are better. My attitude and strength are much better."

"I was diagnosed with mild to moderate neuropathy. Had no reflex in my right knee and no sensation in the bottom of my right foot. After two visits with Dr. Patel I recovered the reflex in my right knee and on the third visit (1 1/2  weeks)  I started to regain feeling in my foot. After approx 12 visits I have almost totally regained all relfex and nerve sesations in my right leg."

"When I first saw Dr Patel I was having headaches, dizzyness, low back and left hip pain. General Feeling of poor health.

Now I'm feeling so much better. It took a while, but the headaches are gone! Dizziness is gone! Low back and hip pain are reduced and intermittent."

"Several years ago I was in a bad bike accident. My right shoulder was shattered and my rotor cuff was severed in half. The orthopedic doctor wanted to operate and put me in a cast for several months. I checked around and heard about Dr. Patel non surgical solutions.

Dr. Patel's methods worked very well and today the shoulder and arm are in fine shape. Two years later I was hit by a car while walking through the Merritt Island Publix parking lot. This time I could not avoid the orthopedic surgery on the broken bones. I also had a brain concussion from a blow to my head in the same accident.

As soon as I got out of the hospital I went to Dr. Patel who soon had me back in good shape. Since the bike accident I have been treated by Dr. Patel on a weekly basis for the two accidents.

As I benefit from his weekly treatments, my allergy, neck, arthritis, and 55 year old back problem have all vastly improved. I am also using Dr. Patel's Standard Process nutritional products and feel like I am 64 years old (instead of my actual 84 years)

        Many thanks to Dr. Patel!

"I had severe gastritis and inflamation of muscles. Inflamation of muscles prevented me from doing any labor or household chores. Stiffness made it difficult to perform daily tasks. My acidity has improved. Inflamation of muscles has diminished tremendously. The nutrition analysis brought to my attention foods which were causing inflamation. Once I changed my diet along with supplements, I noticted immediate immprovments."

"My injuries go back to the late 1970s with a bad whip-lash. Under the care of Dr. Epstein and then with Dr. Patel. An adjustment usually holds 2-3 weeks. July 2007 I was hit in the rear at a red light by a truck-reinjuring my neck and back. Dr. Patel worked with me for weeks and now I'm stable, but not pain free. I get locked-up or dizzy with headaches. With a trip to Dr. Patel I do get relief. The X-rays of my neck and back show that I will never be the same, but feel fortunate that I have someone like Dr. Patel whom I can trust to get relief."

"Before I came to see Dr. Patel I was in horrible pain and thought I would need surgery. Since Iv'e been seeing him I have been wonderful!!! I can do everything I used to do."

"I could not sleep without sleeping medicine and the meds were also not working as well as in the past. Dr. Patel keeps me moving with Chiropractic adjustments and has been doing so for three years.

After 4 weekly acupuncture appointments I sleep without meds 4 nights out of 7 and still improving. It's a relief!"

                                                                                                         Elizabeth L., 2011

"I have had a history of severe sinus infections and headaches. The first Chiropactic doctor I had gone to let me know that my neck was out of alignment. I let him treat me for 16 visits. I was still having pain. I then went to Dr. Patel. After 3 visits, I had no more headaches.I told him I had a sinus infection. The infections would get so bad that my eyes would close up and I would have to see my family doctor. My doctor would then put me on antibiotics. However, Dr. Patel gave me an acupuncture treatment and I had instant relief. After the second acupunture treatment Dr. Patel gave me, the infection was gone. At that time Dr. Patel had asked me if I was interested in being tested for  food allergies. I was very interested. I will never forget how impressed I was during the testing. Dr. Patel told me what my reults were. I never even told him I was having problems with what he had found out!

We set up a nutrition program, along with his Chiropractic care. It only took a few weeks for me to notice a difference with my body. I have more energy and feel more alert. Best part is this is just the beginning!

Thank you so much Dr. Patel. I would like to thank your staff as well. You all have been great!"
