How likely are you to recommend Dr. Patel?
I was able to get in to see Dr. U. Patel immediately. His staff were friendly and respectful. I rarely waited long, but I usually had one of the first appointments of the day! He considered my well-being, comfort, and opinion when making decisions for my plan of care and clearly explained everything - his accent was occasionally a hindrance to my understanding, but the staff helped. He listened well, answered my questions, and didn't rush me. Bonus--great sense of humor! Highly recommended.
