Narendra R. Patel, DPM, sits fifth in our Google rating order, and the listing is in Schaumburg. The listing is for a foot and ankle surgeon, so this page suits a reader who is already weighing surgery for a bunion.

A deep review base and a listed credential

Google shows a 4.9 rating across 305 reviews. Only Northwest Suburban Foot & Ankle Clinic, with 999 reviews, has a larger review base on this list.

The credential is public too, in a provider directory at ascension.org. Narendra Patel, DPM, is a podiatric foot and ankle surgeon at Barrington Orthopedic Specialists in Schaumburg, board certified in foot surgery and reconstructive rearfoot and ankle surgery.

What the score supports is narrow: a large number of patients rated their appointments highly. It does not show how any one operation turned out, so a bunion reader should ask the surgeon what results look like in cases like theirs.

For and against

  • For: a high Google score on one of the two largest review bases in the order.
  • For: a listed surgical credential, which matters to a reader who expects an operation might come up.
  • Against: the score falls just short of the four offices with perfect scores.
  • Against: reviewer scores say nothing about recovery or results after bunion surgery.

When another office fits better

A reader who wants the very top score may prefer Precision Foot and Ankle Clinic, which holds a 5 rating across 121 reviews. A reader who wants a near match on score can look one place down at Weil Foot & Ankle Institute, with a 4.9 rating across 276 reviews.

A bunion question for the surgeon's office

Put this to the office: for my bunion, what would you try before surgery, and what would recovery ask of me?
