Patient Reviews

  • "My appointment was set to see Dr. Patel. Never got to see her. I was seen by the nurse practitioner. She couldn’t answer a single question I asked. Perhaps they were too complicated? No doubt since she felt challenged, she must have taken incident with me and told Dr. Patel that I was abusive towards the staff. This triggered a call from Dr. Patel to tell me she didn’t like how I spoke to her staff. Dr. Patel has subjected me to 2 years of tests and still can’t render a diagnosis. These so called medical professionals need to understand that we are human beings with families and that they are not God. We are fearful and anxious over being told we have a terminal illness. Maybe these doctors should go back to school to learn a little humility."

However, I’m strangely calm because the care that I’m given is with expertise and the doctors knowledge that all will be done. The staff, nurses and physicians are nurturing and greet me with a smile . I highly recommend Dr. Patel as I have known her for many years."
