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.

BUREAUCRATIC INCOMPETENT AND SURLY STAFFING
Dr. Patel may be a good doctor, but his administrative team is truly a disaster. For one month I have been trying to get an appointment-- twice they said they had the referral and would contact my doctor for my records and call me (two weeks later NO CALL) Now they say they don't even have the referral. What a mess. A person could have a heart attack trying to navigate the incompetency and carelessness at Patel's Providence office.

Dr. Patel is everything one wants in a doctor. Not only is he competent and informed and experienced in his specialty; he also conveys a sincere interest in my well-being, and he has demonstrated that over the past two years. He understands that I am reticent to undergo tests and procedures unless I thoroughly understand the need for them, so he takes the time to answer my questions and gain my approval before doing so.

Dr. Patel is by far the best Dr. we have ever seen. He has the best bedside manners-he is calm and a excellent listener and we never feel rushed when we are being seen. My mother experiences a lot of anxiety due to past unfortunate Dr experiences and my mother feels comfortable with him and can come with a list of questions and he always takes the time to answer. Very patient and remembers his patients. We don't feel like just a number when we are seen by him. I can't say enough great things
