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.

Everyone I have known recommend Dr Pravinchandra Patel for Colonoscopy and I'm more than happy to have heeded the sound advice. The 3 visits for the pre post and one for the actual procedure were a smooth sail. I also came across some friends who planned a Colonoscopy and got cold feet just before the scheduled procedure just because they didn't feel comfortable with the process of anesthesia. All in all I'm happy that I was in good hands and came out with clean results.

I had a colonoscopy and Dr PH Patel did an awesome job. He meet with me before the procedure and asked if I had any questions. After the procedure he gave me my results and asked if I had any questions. I appreciated his readiness to provide service and he did a great job

I went to Dr. Patel originally because I had had severe every day diarrhea for over two years. Did colonoscopy, endoscope, and came back and said it was JUST irritable bowl take some Imodium!! Like I had not already done this for over two years. I told him it was NOT irritable bowl, did not have same symptoms (it never went away). Then gave me a $2,000 prescription insurance did not cover. I went to Emory, they LOOKED at my chart unlike Dr. Patel, no gallbladder they gave me $6.00 prescription!
