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.

I am very impressed with Dr. Patel’s compassionate care. I have never met any other doctor who came in on a Saturday to do surgery and then came in again on a Sunday just to see me and make sure I was healing appropriately.

I went to see Dr. Patel for a second opinion and thank god that I did! He did a very thorough exam and explained what was wrong with my eye and how he was going to fix it. My previous doctor never gave me clear answers.

Dr. Patel is everything you want in a physician. He is very knowledgeable, listens, and explains everything and does not rush the appointment. He diagnosed my husband with lung cancer from an eye exam and spent literally 30 minutes talking to us about the next steps for treatment. I am so grateful to have met him.

Thank you
Dr. Patel saved my father’s life. We went to him because my dad was loosing vision and he sent my dad for more testing. The tests showed that my dad was at great risk for a stroke. He ended up having surgery and is doing well now. Dr. Patel is a fantastic doctor and took the time to diagnose and treat my dad when others did not.

I saw Dr. Patel on an emergency basis because of a sudden blind spot in my eye. Apparently, a medication that I was taking for many years was causing damage to my retina. He took me off that medication and started doing injections and I am back to my normal vision. I am so glad that he caught it!
