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.

Gold standard of expertise and service
Dr Patel demonstrated genuine care and concern for me while I was under his care. He took time to authentically connect with me and listen to what is important to me. Excellent bedside manners and his credentials are impressive! Cannot recommend him enough.

My experience with Blair Gastro was fantastic. Dr. Patel is very thorough, caring& friendly. He was very knowledgeable& confident in his decisions. This is extremely important to me. I have been to Specialists of many fields of practice, Urgent Cares, ER's, & seen various providers within my PCP's office. I have never left an office feeling so certain that I was being treated properly& trusted the judgment of the Doctor like I did with Dr. Patel. I knew what he was doing& why it was being done. All of the girls I seen from the Front Receptionist, Nurse, Exit Receptionist & Lab Tech were welcoming, warm& professional. In addition, there was very little to no wait! I would Highly recommend Dr.Patel& his staff to anybody in need of a gastrointestinal doctor, even if were my own children!!

I trust Dr Patel with my life. He is the most caring doctor that I have ever been to. I recommend him to anyone that needs to go to a gastro dr. I am a cancer patient and he is more on top of everything than my oncologist. There are very few doctors that care about their patients like Dr Patel does.

Dr. Patel is a doctor who cares about his patients and it shows through his upmost care. When I was diagnosed with UC I was under his care. Dr. Patel would call me to see how I was doing since I was getting sicker and sicker and medicine treatments weren't working he didn't mess around he referred me to Pittsburgh where I had my entire Large Intestine removed (it was precancerous). Thanks to Dr. Patel and God I am alive! God truly blessed the hands and heart of Dr. Patel.
