Spends time with patient, patient's family, carefully explains diagnosis and answers questions with both concern and in depth intent for what to expect in the future.

Been a patient of his for over 20 years and each new year that passes I’m worried he’ll mention “retirement”. My health issues in the last 6 years have involved too many ER visits to count and so many different Dr’s at those visits. If I couldn’t get in to see Dr. Patel, I’d have no choice but to go to an ER. But Dr. P has always treated me with dignity and respect, listened to my symptoms for each visit, and has never made me feel like I was impeding on his time. Char & Cathy have also always been pleasant and helpful. Not ... read more

Staff I have to agree rude. I am constantly having to call to get my refills and they blame each other and say they did not get the message. Sometimes a week for a returned call. Very inconvenient hours -blood draws no longer in office have to go to hospital now and wait times are awful from what I experienced. Doctor is very rushed every time he sees you like another reviewer says and not sure why. They use to be better but I’m afraid I also am going to have to find another doctor.

Very poor Dr. experience...Was w/him for approx. 2 years. To get an appointment w/him-no matter how urgent, you will have to wait. one week. Don't know why--never busy! Does not spend time w/his patients-acts like always in .a hurry.. Orders wrong tests, knows nothing about your history & doesnt care. . The office people were very nice, but limited on what they could do.I would not recommend him for anyone.

Very poor experience.....and, after years as a patient, had to leave to find another family physician. Dr. Patel approaches the appointment in a rushed manor and moves to diagnose through assumptions rather than taking the time to listen to patient testimony. Even worse....the office staff ( manager and RN) are rude and extremely unprofessional. It appears to be the office culture--starting from the top. There are too many great doctors out there to settle!!!

I went to Dr. Patel, scared and nervous, with what I thought was cancer. Dr. Patel rudely told me it was just a swollen blood vessel and that he was 100% certain without a shadow of a doubt that it was NOT cancer. Dr. Patel told me if I left it alone it would go away. He acted as if I was wasting his time. A week later I went to a different doctor who correctly told me that what I had was DEFINITELY cancer and that if I did nothing, I would die within 2 years. Dr. Patel is lucky I did not sue.

Dr Patel has been my doctor for over 4 years he ha saved my life and he says he didn't but if I didn't get myvstents I would not be here.. If I need something he doesn't do he sends me to the best doctor. Do to a situation beyond his or my control I've had to go to veterans doctor maybe at a later date I can come back to my choice of my medical care. Another doctor put me in a financial problem due to to his not taking care of timely material cost me dearly.. Hopefully I will be able to c
