Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Unfortunately, Dr. Patel and his office staff assumed their 83-year-old patient of 10 years was part of a financial assistance program that had ended in 2025. She was not. They failed to do their due diligence as medical providers to contact her insurance to discover there indeed was in fact full coverage for the medication she had been receiving the past several years. Instead they attempted to transition her to a less effective medication and when she opted to continue she was escorted to the front desk to pay an additional $300 before her treatment. With treatments every 4-5 weeks at $300/per time it’s easy to see how these costs could add up. This is a word of caution to not trust what the clinic is telling its patients in regards to their coverage but talk directly to your provider. This morning we learned she will be receiving a credit for the forced expense she did not need to cover. This was disappointing treatment of a long term patient.

Dr. Patel performed a Vitrectomy on my right eye. The procedure went fantastically. I see clearly with no floaters at all in that eye. Since, my left eye suffered a bleed from a capillary the same as the right had. Without hesitation, I am having a vitrectomy performed on that one by Dr. Patel tomorrow.
