Chicago Institute of Plastic Surgery - Chicago

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dr. Dhaval M. Patel, MD, Double Boarded Plastic Surgeon, at the Chicago Institute of Plastic Surgery. From the very first consultation through every step of my reconstructive surgeries following a double mastectomy, Dr. Patel was exceptional. His work is beyond amazing—his attention to detail is truly unmatched.

What meant the most to me was how much time he took to ensure I understood the process and felt supported at every stage. He didn’t just treat me as a patient—he took the time to get to know me as a person. That level of care, compassion, and professionalism made all the difference during a very vulnerable time in my life.

Before you go anywhere else, please see Dr. Patel. You’ll be in the best possible hands.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Patel at the Chicago Institute of Plastic Surgery. From the warm and professional staff to Dr. Patel’s thoughtful and expert care, everything exceeded my expectations. He really listened to my goals and made me feel confident every step of the way. My results are natural and exactly what I hoped for—I couldn’t be happier!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Patel and his staff!!! In all regards, from surgery to the staff, to after care, one will not find any physician who does a better job! Amazing, amazing!!! I found Dr. Patel on RealSelf and I am so grateful for other reviews provided by other patients on this site, which assisted me with my final choice of provider!

Dr Patel and his whole staff give an outstanding experience. From the welcoming staff who make me feel safe and reassured to Dr Patel who has given me two procedures with outstanding results. I recommend everyone to them. Amy makes me look forward to my check ups. She makes me feel confident during the process. Can’t recommend enough

Dr Patel and his staff were amazing! I’m 57 and had 6 kids. My stomach looks like I had no kids!! Dr Patel is a miracle worker! I’m beyond happy with my results! Dr Patel is double board certified and it shows in his work. His staff is professional and took such great care of me. I can’t thank them enough.

I spent the time to research many doctors before choosing Dr Patel. Upon meeting him was very honest with me about the condition of my eyes and explained well what I would need as well as allowing me to ask all my questions. The day of surgery I became quite nervous waiting for surgery but he came in the room calm and in no rush. He went over my concerns again and made me feel more relaxed before the procedure. He continues to show care and compassion in each of my follow up appointments and I find his personality as stellar as his work!

I came to Dr Patel with my eyelids resting on my eyelashes and horrible bags under my eyes. He was gentle, very nice and does exceptional work. I look may years younger! I’m thrilled with his work and my appearance. The best!!

My experience with Dr. Patel and his staff exceeded every expectation I had! I had a septo-rhinoplasty, and chose Dr. Patel in part because of his expertise in both. He is incredibly kind, welcoming, knowledgeable, and professional, which made me feel very comfortable in seeking services that I was previously anxious about. He anticipated every question or concern I might have, and made me feel so confident and assured in his services. I fully trusted him from our interactions in pre-surgery consults, and I am glad that I did because I am happier with the results than I thought was possible. My recovery was so smooth and relatively painless, and I had very minimal bruising. I have had such an improvement in my overall health and quality of life as I can breathe easily through my nose now during daily life, sleep and exercise. I am more confident in the appearance of my nose too, which was a big insecurity of mine before. Dr. Patel’s office staff are some of the kindest most welcoming people as well, especially Amy and Kallie! They made me feel so calm in appointments that I was anxious for, and they were so supportive and knowledgeable throughout as well. I could not recommend Dr. Patel and his staff enough! Choosing him as my doctor was one of the best decisions I have made.

I couldn’t be happier with my decision to have Dr. Patel perform my tummy tuck with lipo. After having kids and losing weight, I was left with a saggy wrinkly tummy that always made me feel insecure. From the moment I walked into the office, I felt completely at ease. Dr. Patel took the time to listen to my concerns and explained the entire process thoroughly, which made me feel so much more confident moving foward. The results are what I imagined! I finally feel like I have my body back. The entire experience, from the surgery to follow-ups, has been amazing. Dr. Patel and the staff were incredibly professional, supportive, and always available to answer any questions I had. I truly feel 100% confident in my body now, and this was the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m so grateful for the care and expertise I received at this office!

Ever since 30 my skin started sagging. My eyes were visible through slits of skin. After 30 years of feeling old and sometimes my vision was less, I did something about it. Very happy with Dr. Patel and his staff. He did a wonderful job! My eyes look brighter and I have eyelashes!
