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.
Dr. Seemed to have a professional manner. Office staff wasn't very attentive. Even though I gave them my current address when I registered with them, they somehow put the wrong address in my records. Never even thought of asking me to confirm my address.

Dr. Patel is excellent. He's very knowledgeable, listens to your concerns and will answer any questions that you may have. He worked with me to diagnose a pretty atypical condition and put me at ease. One of the best doctors I have ever had.

Upon consulting with Dr. Patel for my initial visit, I immediately felt at ease. His bedside manner is friendly, calming and reassuring. I was made to feel that my questions and concerns were of the utmost importance. Dr. Patel spent ample time with me, reviewing my medical history. At no point did I feel rushed. His staff members were friendly and professional.
