Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dismissive, egotistical and rude
Dr. Patel looked at his watched as if I was boring him. He seemed bored and very dismissive during my first appointment that I waited 7 months to have. He had no interest in my case.

Fantastic doctor and professional
I am baffled by some of the negative reviews as Dr.Patel is one of the best doctors and surgeons I have experienced. He truly cares about each patient and often spends a long time during appointments to understand the issues at hand as well as being very personable. The practical surgery results went very well. I would highly recommend Dr. Patel and his staff.

dismissive, arrogant.
not good was ok the first time several years ago when he did a flap surgery on me went back to him in april as i was starting to have issues with flap was very dismissive, said this wasn't an issue etc. now have a 6 cm tunneling wound that is infected despite my instance for antibiotics but he won't give them as i have no fever. i don't get fevers with infections. i have all the classic signs of a wound infection according to 3+ nurses but yet he dismisses my concern. i will never go back to him i have changed doctors
