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.

Dr. Panchal was new to me. She is in the office of my former Primary Care Physcian. I had a health issue which needed attention before I could see my new doctor. She was very caring & kind . She was able to help me & I appreciate very much her taking time to help me. I would certainly recommend her as a doctor.

she doesn't seem to be particularly interested in my health. Asked about vitamin dosage and she says she has no recommendation. Went to buy the vitamins and am totally confused by the variations in dosage. Had to google it. I had a major operation a few months before my visit and she asked me nothing about it. she doesn't tell me the side effects of the medicines/vitamins she suggests. She didn't tell me that if I had colitis I had an increase in getting colon cancer. I might have gotten my colonoscopy sooner had she impressed this fact on me.

The doctor was rushed and didn’t listen very well. I wanted to discuss options but she was on a one track mind. Additionally, I asked for preventative medicine and she stated that she would have to document everything again if I wanted to go that route because of the type of medicine. I had to ask multiple times for an alternative because she didn’t want to have to take the time fo document anything. I love the practice but will never be seen by this provider again.

Dr. Panchal was amazing!! This was my first visit with her and I absolutely love her! I have not seen a doctor in years and she made my experience so comfortable. She is very relatable and personable! She is easy to talk too even about personal issues. She listens to all your concerns and was good about not running late for my appointment! I will definitely be seeing her again and recommend her without reservation!!

Dr. Panchal is caring and very well informed. She has always answered all my questions and listened to me even when I wanted to try a different approach. We compromised with a time limit in place to come back and review results. The staff is helpful and pleasant. The offices are always clean. Shane, the PA in the office is also a great back up. I have already recommend this group to several of my friends.

After spending over $100 on a test, waiting a month for a follow-up appointment, nearly 45min to be called back... I was given maybe 5min of care. Refused to listen to me explain anything I needed or to really look at the issues I was trying to get addressed. Suggested an OTC option. Had she bothered to listen and not kept trying to rush out of the room because she was behind, she'd know I tried that option years ago. Spent more time with check in nurse than her.
