This is the first bad review I've ever written, but I had such a terrible experience here that I needed to share. Came here for lip fillers for the first time ever after doing extensive research on good doctors in Miami. Dr. Patel had good reviews, so I decided to come here for the procedure.
I brought my roommate with me, but they told me the doctor does not allow anyone besides the patient into the room. I can understand during the actual procedure, but during a consultation? This should have been a red flag. I brought multiple pictures of how I wanted my lips to look and showed them to Dr. Patel. He told me he understood what I wanted. He recommended two different fillers: Restylane Silk and Restylane Refyne. Refyne was a little more expensive, but the doctor said it would give me the noticeably bigger result that I was looking for, without looking crazy. Never having done any sort of cosmetic injection before, I took the doctor's advice and went with 1 syringe of Refyne.
The medical assistant put numbing creme on me for 30 minutes, then ice for another 10. Dr. Patel returned and we started the procedure. He finished injecting my lips and told me that he had half a syringe left, so since I had already paid for it, we should put the rest in my face. Again, I have never done any cosmetic injection before, so I assumed this was normal. He injected the remaining amount into my cheeks and chin. We scheduled a follow-up appointment for 2 weeks after and I left.
I expected my lips to swell up or bruise, as I had read online that they would, but nothing happened. My lips looked a little pinker immediately after the procedure, but when I woke up the next day, my lips looked exactly the same!
I returned for my follow-up appointment 2 and a half weeks later and expressed my dissatisfaction with Dr. Patel. He argued that he thought my lips looked perfect and he wasn't comfortable making them any bigger, but if I wanted, I could purchase another $700 syringe and he would put more in. Huh?? You aren't going to make them any bigger, but I should spend another $700!? He told me that if I made them any bigger, they would look unnatural and since he was "a natural injector," he didn't want to do that. Prior to my procedure, Dr. Patel NEVER once mentioned that he believed the pictures I showed him were too much.
Two weeks later, I went to a different doctor. After looking at the before and after pictures and examining my lips, the new doctor said that he could not see any difference in my lips at all. Absolutely nothing. He was also very surprised when I told him that Dr. Patel had put half the syringe into my face. As a 23 year old, I do not need any fillers put into my face.
I had the procedure done again with the different doctor and saw immediate results. My lips look incredible now and are exactly what I wanted! I just wish I hadn't thrown $700 down the drain for Dr. Patel's "procedure."
If Dr. Patel is not comfortable doing what the patient wants, he needs to be upfront about it. He should have told me from the start that he was not comfortable making my lips any bigger, instead of waiting until after I had done the procedure.
Anyone in Miami looking for lip fillers: if you want your lips to look any different (as is the point of lip fillers), I would STRONGLY advise against going to Dr. Patel.

Dr. Patel and his staff are the best! I trust no one else with my face. I make the drive all the way from Tampa to see him!

Awesome experience. Dr. Nguyen is a top notch physician. Amazing bed side manners and surgical skills. My legs no longer have severe cramping and best of all, my spider veins are all gone! I went to 4 vein specialists before I found Dr. Nguyen. I highly recommend Miami Skin and Vein. PS he also did my Botox and fillers and I love, love the results :)

I have been a patient of Dr Patel's for about a year now and I absolutely love my skin more than ever! I am constantly receiving compliments on the smooth soft glow my skin now has. Being a "sun worshiper" I had noticed discoloration, fine lines & my career has me under hot lights, tons of make-up & a camera lens that is completely unforgiving so I went in for maintenance and correction... So very happy I did! Dr. Patel & entire staff are just amazing! Extremely knowledgeable and update with all the new & EFFECT procedures. Office is clean & safe environment.
I highly recommend Dr. Patel & Miami Skin & Vein!

I consulted with both doctors, (Michael and Shaun) . Absolutely delighted with their knowledge and professionalism. My consultation was VERY lengthy; they answer all my questions- they really had patience with me, they took time to explain all, and every detail. After reviewing sonograms, I was inform that I didn’t need treatments, surgery or any injections :)) Dr Michael recommended a simple remedy –adaptation to my shoes. I was in shock with his honesty – most doctor offices try to induce you to spend money. NOT THEM. The office is first class, with top of the line equipment’s. Fantastic staff. Well organized and relax environment.
Highly recommend! LOVED IT.
