Dr. Afsheen Abdullah Patel, MD

Dr Patel is very friendly, polite and professional. She is very thorough. Great with patient education. Wish I could refer my friends to her. Dr Patel is excellent!

She took the time to listen. She explained everything in detail and helped me make a decision. I finally feel I can own my health. Yes, sadly the system doesn’t allow easy access to good doctors anymore. It took me 8 months to see her, but worth the wait.

Dr Patel is an outstanding primary care provider. She is compassionate and listens to you. She takes the time and makes the effort to know you and help you get involved in your care. I have never trusted a primary care doctor more.

I had an amazing experience. I did not feel rushed and she went through all my history and concerns. I have never had a provider before that actually took the time to get to know me first and then discuss my medical needs.

I have nothing against Dr. Patel personally, since I've never met her and now I never will. This has more to do with how the practice is run. I got a new patient appointment 4 months out with Dr. Patel. Two weeks before the appointment, they called to say she will be out of town and can't see me for three MORE months and that she's no longer doing afternoons. I can't do mornings as a teacher. The scheduler did not seem at all sorry or willing to make any accommodation; just said I'll have to stick with my previous doctor if I want to see someone in the next few months. I get that it's a challenging time in the medical field, but the lack of concern is extremely off-putting. And even in this pandemic era, it seems disingenuous to say you're taking new patients when you expect them to wait more than 7 months to be seen--maybe. I will be switching my entire family to a different practice ASAP, despite the fact that I can literally walk to St. Luke's from my house in ten minutes.

I was rushed in & out with alot mistakes made. I was a new patient to this office. I couldn't find the right building the office was in & nobody would answer the phones. When I arrived a few minutes late I was informed of how of lucky I was that they were going to see me. They didn't ask for my driver's license, insurance cards or any health history information!? I was quickly moved to a room where the MA asked why I was there & my health conditions as I start to tell her she informs me to stop because the Dr will only hear three & I had given three. Um okay? Dr comes in she quickly runs through the information I had given the MA & tells me she'll run some labs & see me back. As I wait in lab waiting room at least five people came & went. I went to the desk to see what the hold up was & they told me they didn't take my Humana insurance for lab draws ?? I informed them I don't have Humana & nobody had asked for my insurance or any other information. This is not the Dr or place for me.

The is one of the most wonderful doctors I have ever had!! Sadly, my insurance no longer covers her and I cannot afford out of pocket costs. She is smart, concerned, listens and treats you like a friend. I have recommended her to many people! I will miss you, Dr. Patel!! You are the BEST.
