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 smart

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Patel?
I found Dr Patel for my grandmother. Each time that I went with her, I was very impressed with his knowledge, willingness to spend time with her and answer and address her questions. She was in her 80's when she became one of his patients. He made her feel important and listened to her. on seveal occassions he called me himself to address her medical issues. He even called after her passing to offer his condelences and to tell me that he would miss her and that she was one of his best patients.

I had severe stomach pain and vomiting for a year. Saw 2 other doctors, both looked at me (I'm overweight) and told me that I had indigestion and to take antacids and go on a diet. Nobody took me seriously. I told Dr Patel my symptoms and pointed to the spot that hurt and he said immediately that it sounded like Gallbladder and ordered an ultrasound. I ended up having emergency Gallbladder removal surgery due to large stones. I am a repeat patient, happy with him every time. I recommend.
