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.

Dr. Patel and his ENTIRE staff are always going above and beyond for my son and I. Dr. Patel is thorough and very responsive to our medical concerns needs and success in remaining healthy. He's truly knowledgeable. And during this atmosphere of COVID 19 his practice is mindful and accommodating.

Even the greatest doctor cannot be your best doctor. It all depends on your expectations as a new patient. You may expect a doctor who respects and values your time, actively listens to your concerns, understands your situation, explains the alternative choices, is sensitive and transparent about cost, is available when needed, and finally a person with whom you may share your insight and guts in all confidentiality. This is exactly what I personally found in Dr. Alkesh Patel.

For short time that I interacted w/the office, I walked away knowing that I would never return as a patient. Sadly, not b/c of Dr. Patel (who was polite, pleasant, & helpful), but b/c the front desk receptionist was rude, inattentive, & determined to continue asserting her control over the circumstances for which I was there. She was on her phone when I arrived & while I waited ... without even advising the Dr that I was there. Not until an ass't came out & questironed her, did she inform Dr.
