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've just had my yearly physical exam with Dr. Patel, and experience was good. He listened to my needs, asked prescriptions I take, and wrote my prescriptions for 90-day supply. Overall very easy to talk to.

Horrible Horrible Horrible Doctor. I saw him for 2 years complaining about knee pain. He told me nothing was wrong to just exercise. He finally gave me a referral for MRI and I had a torn ACL. Horrible doctor. I cant do alot of physical things because of early arthritis that I developed from this poor doctors diagnosis. Stay away. He really does not care. He would come in the room without reading the chart or knowing your first name or why you are even there in the first place. STAY AWAY.

Doctor Patel is always telling us to stretch no matter what our aches and pains are. Most of the times that works. He is always friendly.
