Patient Satisfaction
Leave a review
How likely are you to recommend Dr. Patel?
Dr. Patel pays attention unlike any doctor I have ever met. He spends time with you, listens and looks you in the eye. He is interested in your family life, your life. No 5 minute appointment with him mostly typing on the computer in his office as other doctors do! He listens to what I think is going on and what I know about my body. He is never dismissive. I have a rare disease that no one else caught except him. He pushed for answers and worried the pulmonologist was wrong (he was). He checks up on patients personally if he thinks it's warranted; especially after surgeries or family trauma. He does not push meds as the answer to everything. I have never had trouble getting an appointment, especially if I am sick. His staff is very friendly and accommodating. I have recommended him to most of my friends and family. They also think he is the best!
