Some issues Dr. Nita Rajani Patel, MD can help you with:

Chemical Peels

Chemical peels remove the outer layer of the skin using chemical solutions, like glycolic acid and phenol. Although most commonly performed on the face, this non-surgical procedure may be done on the neck and hands as well. Chemical peels can treat the following:

  • Age spots
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Freckles
  • Rough skin
  • Sun-damaged skin
  • Acne

Before the procedure, a skin evaluation is done to determine which type of peel will produce the best results. Dark skin tends to respond well to light peels, while severely sun-damaged skin will likely benefit from a moderate or deep peel. Pre-treatment creams and sunscreen need to be applied every day for several weeks prior to the procedure. Doing this may help shorten the healing process.

During the peel, the area to be treated is cleaned thoroughly, and the chemical solution is applied on the skin for several minutes, which produces a stinging sensation. A neutralizing agent is then used, and the stinging sensation gradually goes away. For more intense peels, a cool compress may be placed on the area to relieve any stinging or burning, or the solution may be applied in intervals to limit exposure to the strong chemicals.

Following a light peel, there will be redness and swelling, which typically fade in a few days. Swelling after a moderate or deep peel may last for a week, and mild redness may continue for a few weeks. To help improve the final results of a peel, treated areas must be kept cool, moisturized, and protected from sunlight.

Dermabrasion

Dermabrasion, also known as dermaplaning, uses a high-speed rotating device to scrape away outer layers of the skin and create a smoother surface. This surgical procedure is most commonly used on the face, but it may be performed on other parts of the body as well. It treats the following skin issues:

  • Raised scars due to accidents, previous surgery, or acne.
  • Deep wrinkles.
  • Skin growths, like precancerous lesions.

During dermabrasion, a nurse or other healthcare professional holds the skin taut so that the doctor can apply gentle but constant pressure on the skin using the device. Depending on how much skin needs treatment, it may take a few minutes to over an hour to complete the surgery.

A waxy or moist dressing is placed on the skin at the end of the procedure. The treated area will be red and swollen for about two to three weeks. Itchiness and tingling will likely be present for some time. Although less common, enlarged pores, cold sores, rashes, and permanent skin discoloration may also occur. Normal activities may be resumed about two weeks following dermabrasion. However, swimming in chlorinated water and sports that involve the use of balls should be avoided for four to six weeks.

Spinal Osteotomy

Spinal osteotomy is a surgical procedure used to treat significant spinal deformity, sometimes as part of a spinal reconstruction. During spinal osteotomy, one or more pieces of bone are removed. This creates a curve, allowing for proper realignment of the spine.

There are three major types of spinal osteotomy. In order of amount of bone removed, they are:

  • Smith-Peterson osteotomy or SPO, which offers a small amount of correction and is often performed on multiple levels of the spine. This procedure is the least invasive, removing a small piece of bone from the back of the vertebra.
  • Pedicle subtraction osteotomy or PSO, which is often used in the lower back for the treatment of flatback syndrome, a condition in which the lower spine loses its natural curve. A slice or wedge of bone going through the entire vertebral column is removed, allowing more movement for repositioning.
  • Vertebral column resection or VCR, which is the most involved spinal osteotomy surgery. It is almost always performed as part of a spinal reconstruction. One or more entire vertebrae are removed, and the spine is fused into place with rods or screws.

After surgery, it is common to stay in the hospital for several days. Recovery can be slow, and patients will likely need help doing regular activities for the first few weeks. Lifting objects and bending or twisting, such as when getting out of bed or into a car, will be extremely difficult at first. Physical therapy can help patients heal and move. Most daily activities can be resumed after six weeks, and most patients return to full activity, including playing certain sports, within a year.

Although the recovery from spinal osteotomy can be significant, it can be quite effective at reducing pain. Correcting a spinal deformity can also improve appearance and self-esteem, increase balance, and improve stability when moving.

Dr. Patel is nice and professional. However her office operates with questionable billing practices. They intentionally overcharge you for your copay up front. Even if your stated copay rate with your insurance is $40, they will charge you $60, and later issue you a credit. Also, for a basic procedure such as a biopsy they require an upfront deposit of $250, regardless of whether or not your patient responsibility amount would be much less than this once the claim is processed by your insurance. They say they will reimburse you the difference afterwards. I am opposed to prepaying arbitrary amounts made up by a medical provider with no consideration for my insurance coverage, so I will be finding my care elsewhere.
