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.

Very Thorough

Parent
I was referred to Dr. Patel for my 16 year old daughter. I have been so worried about her condition and didnt know what to think. The moment I met Dr. Patel I felt we were in the right place. He explained everything to us and assurred us that he would run the tests necessary to get more information. He was very thorough and his staff was wonderful. He put my mind at ease.

Wonderful Experience
Once we got the appt, it was wonderful! He is highly sought after, so getting in can be tough, but it's worth it. There is a reason he is so busy. The process once we were scheduled was streamline and efficient. Everyone was kind, Dr. Patel was very thorough and wonderful with my toddler. We had a wonderful experience and we are grateful we found Dr.. Patel and his team.

Dr. Patel and staff are very courteous and professional. He is a very good doctor and takes his time at the appointment, I never feel rushed and he is very good at explaining the care plan. I trust him completely with my son’s care! My son was born severely premature and Dr. Patel is very thorough with his care always making sure his asthma is controlled. I would highly recommend him!

Dr. Patel is an amazing doctor. He and his nurse are a great team. I always have a great experience with them and feel well taken care of. I’m so glad we were able to see past the rudeness and entitlement of the reception staff when calling in, or I might have missed the care of a great doctor.

Dr. Patel is an amazing doctor! He takes his time with each appointment, thoroughly answers all of your questions and he genuinely bonds with your child. My daughter loves to go see him and be in conversation with him. Each appointment is like sitting back and watching old friends reconnect and catch up. As a parent, I am so very thankful for his medical expertise, his care and his interest in the overall wellbeing of my child.

Dr. Patel has been seeing my children for many years (my 12 year old daughter for 9 years to be exact!) Dr. Patel has been the doctor who has guided so much for our children's overall care. Being a physician for our family is definitely Not an easy task, as my children are considered "medically complex", however Dr. Patel continues to go out of his way to ensure my babies are always cared for as if they were his own. We will continue to utilize his practice for as long as they will have us! Cannot recommend highly enough!

Dr. Patel always has the best interest of our son in mind. He was able to diagnose our son when others were not. He looks out for our Sons well being, and gives him the help that he needs to succeed. We are very thankful that our pediatrician recommended we see him.

I had my first visit with Dr.Patel today, I wish it would have been an actual visit but it was virtual because of the COVID-19 going on. Anyway the appointment went well. He answered all my questions. He was very informative and talked in terms I understood. My son was in the hospital for 2 weeks and saw his PA Heather, she was great. From what I have seen of this office and its staff they really go above and beyond to give the best care to children in need. Thank yall.
