Review for Dr. Fotopoulos
I am new patient to Dr. Patel and upon meeting him I knew right away I had made the right decision by coming to him. He is very attentive and caring. I feel very confident in being under his care.

Review for Dr. Patel
Dr Shankar was an exceptional doctor who treated me with kindness and concern. The office was always friendly and helpful. I was out of state and took sick. Treated by other doctors. I was concerned that it wasn’t going to be what Dr Shankar would approve. I called and he promptly returned my call...

I found Dr. Fotopoulos to be paternalistic, authoritarian, and just plain rude. She showed me contempt. I felt judged by her. That isn't 'care.' Her behavior didn't support health and well being. I wouldn't recommend her to anyone, especially not someone with a significant history of trauma.
