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.

Anti Family Dr
Dr Patel had treated me twice. 1st time I ended up having a 2nd stroke and this time,2 years later, he refuses to treat my schizophrenia stating my issues come from living at home. My parents have never been anything but supportive of me. Through feeling like I was transgender to figuring out I wasn't. From trying to set myself on fire to hanging myself. That is the minium of my issues. Yet Dr Patel refuses to allow me to go home if I go home to my support system. He was forcing me to onto the streets and a shelter at night instead of letting me go back to my home where I'm loved and cared for. I wonder how many families he has destroyed. He is awful and don't listen and just does whatever without learning or hearing truth.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Patel?
Beware as potential to place discharge orders before evaluations, by ot, pt, etc… professionL process to discharge Appears to not discuss patient with specialists Actually said “discharge orders” mean today, tomorrow, next day, etc…. ???? Disrespectful of patient families, healthcare parters organizations i.e.nurses, case workers, non “dr” professionals. Has professional issues on being accountable as a compassionate healthcare provider
