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.

Stay away from Dr. Patel and his staff. If you actually want to see the Doctor then this isn’t the place for you! I have 3 visits with PA’s and on my fourth visit finally saw the Doctor. Between being seen by PA’s and the Doctor they have changed my treatment three different times. Regarding the front desk team they can only be described nicely as horrible to deal with as the will give you the run around and also making an appointment a nightmare. I knew when I needed to stop going to this gro

They are very friendly. Dr. Patel and the nurse practitioner Shannon are pretty good on what they do. Also they have a lab there to your blood work. So you don't have go to other places for blood work. Also they offer a class for diabectics to know what to eat.

My husband and I have been going to Dr. Patel for several years now. I would highly recommend Dr. Patel to anyone needing a friendly caring doctor. After seeing the nurse to update your file with meds etc. you are then taken directly to his office to discuss your bloodwork. He is very knowledgeable and goes over any questions you may have and I don't feel rushed. I feel going into his office is more personable than him coming into the exam room. Thanks Dr. Patel for being such a Great Dr.

I always saw an assistant and never Dr. Patel. They gave my name and contact information to a medicine sales rep without my permission. I would see personal papers I gave them as well as other patients information laying haphazardly around the office for other patients to see. Very unprofessional office. I should have never gone back after the first visit. I would not recommend this office.

Patient Beware in Spring, TX – May 25, 2016
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Patel?
I went to there office twice already but never met Dr Patel only the Nurse Practitioner. I am a new patient and I was not reviewed by the Doctor, I felt strange and when I asked why is that the Dr is not meeting the patient the nurse mentioned that he will meet next time. When I went back again I still only met the Nurse Practitioner. I am never going back to this practice, they charges Doctors Rate for a Nurse. I never saw such practice till date. Overly extremely dissatisfied
