Dr. Montu Patel, DO

Dr. Patel has been my doctor since he started his practice. He's kind, considerate, compassionate, and has been all that you could ask for from a physician!!

I've been seeing Dr. Patel for 8 years or so and I have been extremely satisfied with his explanations of minor problems and compassion for major ones. I recommend him to all my friends. I even moved 40 minutes away and it is worth the drive to see him.

Dr. Patel has a very caring nature. These poor reviews are from people who didn’t get immediate results, Dr. Patel doesn’t want to give you a bandaid he wants to help you heal. There are protocols he must follow, medical histories, quick appointments but I promise if you continue seeing him regularly the report builds and he is an active member of your care team. I can see how that’s frustrating if you’re looking for a bandaid but if you are seeking health and change he’s your guy. If you are not the right fit for each other OK! but writing bad reviews about someone’s character is dismissive of all the lives he’s helped, like mine.

Don’t understand the 1 star reviews as I haven’t experienced anything similar to their experiences. Great doctor, focused on daily lifestyle and mindfulness to be the core to your health before pushing drugs or medications. I’ve been visiting him for years and he’s never once prescribed anything or suggested that route. Believer in diet, sleep, exercise, community and mindfulness. Always wants to look at my blood and give me an analysis during annual checkup. Refreshing medical experience for me. Highly recommend!

Dr. Patel was patient and caring. He listened to my concerns. As Florida snowbirds, we are only here half of the year. He called to share lab results! Would definitely recommend him.

I had not had a physical in 30 years. He was a nice person and easy to speak with. He asked questions, and he looked through my medical records.

I saw Dr patel in 2019 for extreme light sensitivity with my vision and all he was concerned with was getting me to stop smoking and putting me on an anti depressant. Recently I had a massive heart attack followed by stent complications which resulted in being in a coma on a ventilator for almost a week. I called his office for help due to the anxiety it has caused from the trauma. When I did talk to him through tele-health, all he was concerned about was how come I haven't been in to see him in 2 years. The truth is he did nothing to help me with my eyes so why would I want to waste my time since when you do see him he has you on a 12 min time limit. After asking for a lorazepam refill, he said I will give you Paxil (antidepressant, used to be on it years ago) that takes 4-6 weeks to work and I have to come into the office to see him to get a 2 week supply of the lorazepam. He's the worst doctor I have ever encountered, all he cares about is billing your Insurance company.

Dr. Patel is all about a patient's past medical history and that is all. I was a patient for several years and each year he would review my past medical history (which doesn't change), order labs and that's all. Never did he learn about me as a person, he never took the time to understand me. When I did have a health concern he treated it with a nonchalant attitude. After seeing a new doctor, I was diagnosed with cancer one week after seeing Dr. Patel. I would NOT recommend Dr. Patel or his office. The staff at the office can be rude and condescending in their attitudes. None of the situations below went well, I would choose 0 stars if I could.

I guess Zero stars is NOT an option!! This guy is always in a hurry to get you out the door. Doesn't take any time to know you. Not a pleasant experience. Which is why None of the below were checked!

I started seeing Dr Patel about 5 years ago and I would highly recommend him as a Doctor. He is very patient, thorough and genuinely cares about his patients. I moved about 2 hours away well over a year ago and I don't want to find another doctor. I had a health issue recently and Dr. Patel was compassionate, as well as responsive. We utilized the online portal for some communications and I never waited long for a response. The staff has always been extremely helpful as well.

Dr. Patel is very kind, patient, and thorough! He takes time with his patients and answers all questions. He is also great at replying to emails and phone calls. We highly recommend Dr. Patel!!

I have had Dr. Montu Patel for over five years. I find him to be very caring and thorough in his examinations. He listens to what you have to say and offers compassionate solutions. I highly recommend him as a Primary Care Physician.

I tried to schedule a Preventative Maintenance exam. The office staff would not let me scheduled a Preventative Maintenance without a New Patient Exam. They would not provide the billing code or cost of the New Patient Exam. I chose not to see this Dr. as result of the office policy requiring a New Patient Exam (in which you pay money for no direct service) in order to make an appointment to receive the care requested.

Very good doc with great bedside manner. Easy to talk to and genuinely cares about you. Ur not just a nunber to him like most doctors I've ecountered. Highly recommend..

Went to Doctor Patel for a prescription. My name was wrong on the prescription form. The pharmacy I go to has given me problems in the past for having incomplete/inaccurate prescriptions, sometimes resulting in me waiting for days to get the prescription filled, I requested a new form, with my name spelled correctly. Then Doctor Patel Dropped me as a patient. He told me "I'm the doctor. You don't get to tell me when I'm wrong." TLDR: Got discharged for requesting accurate precription.

I saw Dr. Patel for the first time a few days ago. I can say with confidence that he is now my permanent primary care provider. I was referred to him through a family member. Friendly, respectful knowledgable, easy to talk to, genuinely listened to what I had to say, and I never once felt rushed which is why I decided to switch PCPs in the first place. Office staff and med. assistants are wonderful. I can't say enough! Would highly recommend.
