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.

He has a caring attitue. He is empathetic. He has years of experience that are brought to bear on his treatment of patients. As the patient, I was totally comfortable with Dr. Patel.

Explained my condition to my understanding. Very nice, professional & personable. Once I understood my condition I opted for surgery. Dr. Patel set up another procedure needed before surgery then got me in by the end of the week. Everything went well. Am recovering beautifully. Very happy now that my stomach is back where it belongs!
