Dr. Anil Patel, MD

This doctor is in my insurance network. I was given a referral & showed up on time for my appointment. After completing all of the initial paperwork, I presented my insurance cards. The front office look at me as if they were mortified. The staff told me I could not be seen because they do not accept my secondary insurance. I offered to file myself, but they refused saying now that they knew I had the secondary insurance I could not be seen. Despite speaking with them at length they refused & told me I would need a new referral for another doctor. I have absolutely never heard of anything so ridiculous.

I had a great first appointment with Dr. Patel and his staff. They were courteous, respectful, kind,and professional. I didn't have to sit in the lobby for an unreasonable amount of time before being seen. Dr. Patel is a straight forward Dr, which I really like. I have no complaints whatsoever.

Dr Patel prescribed me a med that required a Prior Authorization through my insurance. After 30 days of waiting and 2 notices from CVS regarding the PA, I called and they said they don't do PAs because they don't call insurance companies, they don't like to wait on hold. They said that my insurance was my problem and that I needed to call them and explain why I needed the meds. (BTW that's not how things work with PAs) Needless to say I'm no longer going to see him. If a medical professional refuses to advocate for their patients with insurance companies then they're not doing a HUGE part of their job. Im a nurse, and Ive worked in clinics, including GI clinics, and we always did PAs for our patients. Find a doctor that WILL go to bat for you, I am.

No stars. I was at the office with my 86 year old hard of hearing mother and was rudely thrown out of the office, yes THROWN out! Believe the bad reviews.

3/23/21 Dr Patel and his staff were amazing I was treated very kindly from entering the building to signing in at the front desk The nurses etc that took care of me were amazing If I had to do it all over again I would

My second time for a colonoscopy with Dr. Patel. I rate his care and communication very high. The medical staff was friendly, professional, seemed to be working as one effective unit. i especially liked Nurse Sarah. Thank you for good medical care.

Both Dr Patel and his staff were both helpful and efficient. I have only good things to say about everyone in this office.

Great experience, great staff, everything was explained to me so clearly, put me at ease. Wasn’t rushed at all. Very friendly staff, Dr.Patel went over everything with me after the procedure, feel good about everything.

The whole staff was very friendly and helpful. They are very efficient in their care and have great teamwork, with what I have seen.

Dr. Patel and his staff are professional timely and explains procedures step by step. I have been a patient of his for years and have the highest regard for his expertise and knowledge of current medical trends and treatments. He is definately 5 stars and I would recommend him without hesitation.

Very pleased with the care I received from Dr. Patel and the staff. Everyone was courteous, knowledgeable and professional.

Dr. Patel and his staff have been excellent. I've been to see him numerous times for my liver and other routine procedures. The care, compassion and professionalism he has shown me is hard to find in a doctor these days. I would not want to see another doctor for my issues.

I've had Crohn's Disease for 17 years, seen several doctors, and have NEVER had such a poor "doctor's office" as this! I should have known immediately when walking in the door for my first appointment. His door, then the waiting room makes it clear that NO CHILDREN are allowed in his office. I wasn't told this and had my daughter with me. I was given dirty looks by the staff. I also was already on medications before visiting him and Dr. Patel agreed I should stay on them. When it came time to get a refill he wouldn't do it though. He said his office didn't have time to authorize that medication with my insurance. The staff was very rude and told me I could fill it myself! I was told on at least three different occasions that I would be called back and never was. When I called to follow-up they were rude and said they didn't have any notes to call me back and that they were a very busy office. Dr. Patel was very dismissive during my visits as well. Not recommending this office!

Very professional and caring staff of nurses. Everything was explained fully and clearly. My procedure went well and the nurses made sure I was comfortable at all times. Dr Patel went over the results and explained what I needed to do going forward to improve my gi health. I highly recommend Gi Specialist of Clarksville to anyone needing care.

Excellent care as always!! Very professional and caring from the time you walk in the door until the time you leave. Very happy with the service I received. I highly recommend Dr. Patel and his staff for your next procedure.

Great patient treatment. Very caring and professional.

The visit was very professional and very satisfactory

02/19/2020 Procedure went very well. This was my 3rd procedure here and so far, the staff has always been friendly and helpful. Dr Patel has a calm manner that helps keep me at ease and he explains things in a way that is easy to understand.

Colonoscopy done on 2-14-2020. Good experience and Nurse Sarah was wonderful. She did all she could do to make me and my husband comfortable and answered all questions. Dr. Patel always patient and willing to answer any questions.

After being a patient for nearly 10 years at age 42 and a one-year old diagnosis of inactive Barrett’s Esophagus (BE), it was decided I should have annual endoscopes. After 1st annual check/biopsy and not being contacted with results, I called them only to be told there was no evidence of BE (as if theyd never diagnosed the condition before in the first place) and I wouldn’t need a recheck/endoscopy again for 5 years...??? I explained that I was nervously anticipating the results of the biopsy because of the diagnosis by the doctor there a year ago and I was perplexed by the fact that they didn’t even seem to know what I was taking about. At that time, I decided it was time to do my research and find a reputable GI doctor, perhaps even in Nashville, and scheduled an appointment with one there that i plan to switch to permanently. Terrible customer service and relations and made me pay a $25 fee for and refused to fax my records to new doctor. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!
