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.

The worst. PLEASE AVOID. She treated me like I was stupid. It was the biggest waste of my time.

The person above with the stiff neck should go to a neurologist. Dr. Patel (& her nurse Wendy) welcomed me in as a new patient when my doctor left the practice. She always greets you with a smile. If she can't or doesn't know how to fix a problem she will let you know & send you t o a doctor she believes can help. She has done this with me twice & both times helped tremendously. I'm thankful for putting Dr. Patel in my choice of physicians! Just as Dr. Patel is terrific so is the office staff.
