Jalpa Patel, PA-C

Knowledgeable, thorough, explained options to minimize discomfort, patient , answered all my questions

do not listen and arrogant

Not sure why I see so many negative reviews here. I had an appointment with her yesterday for my son for acne and she was indeed very polite. She was listening to us patiently and provided answers for every questions asked. I would definitely recommend her.

Ms Patel was patient, caring, and very thorough. I have been dealing with a dermatology issue for years and she took her time to evaluate me, explain the condition, go over treatments, and answer my questions. I would highly recommend Metropolitan dermatology and Ms Patel. I will be back at this office if I have any further dermatology issues in the future.

I hope a Metro dermatology doctor although this page lists her as a physician assistant. I agree with the other reviews about her bedside manner. She comes across as cold and robotic. I asked questions to get very little response. I guess if you need a prescription, it’s worth the trip. If you’re seeking new and innovative ideas on treating your ailment, this is not the doctor to get answers from.

I am not sure how to begin. When I first started going to their location in Jersey City, I thought I had found the perfect dermatologist. I was seeing Dr. Jalpa Patel. At first she was very kind, but after awhile, especially this past year I started to notice the lack of care and her demeanor. Besides the fact that it is extremely difficult to leave a message or use their patient portal which their doctors don’t even use, I am very disappointed with how things turned out with this place. If you are looking for a dermatologist who is empathic towards skin concerns/acne. Please do not see Dr. Jalpa Patel. I am not sure how their other dermatologist are, but based off my experience there, they don’t seem to care about being there for their patients

Where do I start? I made the mistake of not looking her up prior to the appointment and now regret that decision. Took my child to see her (first time) for some skin conditions. She would NOT listen to what I had to say. I wanted to show her some pictures (since it took a long time to get an appointment and wanted to show her pictures in case the rash subsided) and she was uninterested. She made excuses why the pictures were not valid. As a medical professional myself, I am appalled at her lack of sympathy, compassion, and understanding. What a waste of time and money.

I went in for acne on by back and chest but instead she wanted to treat the small amount on my face. She didn't listen to me during any of the visits and kept trying to give me more prescriptions for my face than address what I truly came in for. She never once asked about how it affected me or why I wanted it gone. At my last appointment, she said she would return with a sample but instead sent the nurse in. I was not provided with any education on what I should be doing with this sample nor could I ask any questions since she just decided she didn't want to finish my appointment. I will not return to the office, especially after office staff "forgot" to call to cancel my appointment.

This was a very positive experience, extremely nice lady and very knowledgeable/talented. I was also seen very quickly

Very professional and pleasant.

I saw Jalpa for a few suspicious spots on my skin that I was concerned with. She was very caring and compassionate. She thoroughly examined the areas, answered all my questions, and made me feel completely at ease. This was my first visit to this practice and it definitely will not be my last.

Jalpa will talk to you with a smile during your entire visit but by no means is it genuine. She does not like when she is questioned and gets defensive or answers rudely. When I felt anxious and had a couple questions she did not take to them nicely: "Let me speak; I don't know what to tell you; It won't change anything, etc." I have never felt uneasy with a doctor. I agree that she definitely lacks professionalism and compassion. The only time she is pleasant is when you nod and agree.

Lacks compassion and empathy when dealing with patients I was having a painful procedure and she said she could not keep stopping because she has other patients. She lacks professionalism, empathy, and compassion which would be expected with any patient provider. Will not return to the office and would not recommend this service to anyone. I hope she works on her bedside manner, based off this experience will not return.
