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.

Very Good Doctor but…
I think Dr. Patel is a very good doctor. I’ve had a good patient doctor relationship with her. She is friendly and likable. She has, in the past done laser for my eyes in regards to pressure build up which went well. She is very thorough & I trust her. I bring my daughters to her as well. The only criticism I have is with staff and billing. When paying my co-pay in cash, they always ask me if I want a receipt. I don’t see why they just don’t give you a receipt automatically. I say this because a couple months down the line I will then receive a letter saying I owe a co-pay. I will then have to go through calling them and sending proof that I did pay my co-pay. This has happened at least two times. Now if I didn’t have my receipt, I assume they would expect me to pay again. But going back to Dr. Patel, she is still worth going to see.

Amazing Doctor
10 on 10 for everything. Friendly and professional front desk staff, overheard them patient explaining things to patients while waiting to see the doctor. Very friendly and efficient doctor who took the time to explain procedures and answer all questions despite her busy schedule. Smiles and interacts with patients and families well. Would recommend her to anyone seeking a caring physician with excellent clinical skills!

Dr. Patel is very well educated and very experienced, she gave me the most thorough examination I have ever received at an eye doctor's office and would definitely recommend her to everyone I know. The office is clean, organized and well managed by Fran who is also very professional, kind and wonderful. Very lucky to have found Dr. Patel.

Dr. Monica Patel is a professional, patient and caring doctor. She recently treated my 72 year old father and was so kind, thoughtful and thorough with my dad. Her explanations were clear and my father felt at ease. I would highly recommend her to other patients - especially those with elder parents. And I am also going to make her my doctor after seeing her treat my father. Additionally her office was well run and efficient.
