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.

Terrible Doctor, I was having a very hard time walking any distance without severe pain from my hips down both legs. I went to see him on a regular basis and complained at every visit about my problem I also called him in between visits and told his medical assistants that I spoke to that I was still having excruciating pain in my legs that seemed to be getting worse. He would always up my dosage of gabapenten and that was it. He never asked many questions in regards to my pain and never gave me a thorough exam. I finally ended up going to another doctor and thank God I did. The new Dr. found out after much testing and asking me questions that it was due to the lack of blood flow to both legs. 80% blockage in left leg and over 90% in the right. I was a extremely close to being an amputee due to Dr. Patels lack of concern. I ended up having two stents put in my iliac arteries. I’m doing very well now but often think about suing him for my pain and suffering.

Have been with Dr. Patel for many years. I was his patient first and my Dad & Mom both became his patients prior to their passings. He is a great listener to what I tell him is wrong; explains things thoroughly, and listened when I had complaints of his very early staff. I would not even consider having a different doctor unless I had no choice. And by the way - he does have a good office staff now as well.

Dr Patel became my Mom's primary physician when hers retired. She had such a wonderful trusting relationship with her previous physician she was literally in tears when he retired. So needless to say, Dr Patel had big shoes to fill. He has more than fulfilled our family's expectations. I am one of three daughters who are involved with my mother's care and he has always been caring and considerate with not only Mom but also all our questions. His staff has also been very kind, extremely helpful
