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.

New Patient Rejected After 6 Month Wait List
Seeking out a local primary care physician, Dr. Chandrakant Patel and HCA Florida St. Lucie Medical Specialists were referred by a friend. Moving from one doctor to another is a tedious task. I thought Dr. Patel was a good choice based on referral and research.Calling into Dr. Patel's office in early April, I found the staff to be pleasant and professional. All my questions were answered. Thereafter, I was advised that a six-plus month wait would occur before my initial visit. On the waiting list I went.In the time I waited to see Dr. Patel, I responded to the good faith estimate, health questionnaire, and health history. All was good and I merely had to await my initial appointment. An appointment six months away.Imagine my disappointment when two days before the appointment I received a call advising that Dr. Patel was not accepting new patients at this time. A six month wait and lost time completing documents, etc. A disappointing way to run a medical practice.

Highly Recommend Dr Patel!
Dr Patel is an experienced and personable professional in his field. We've been seeing him for 4 years. He listens closely to the patient as he's performing the health assessment! He's never been wrong on what he recommends and prescibes. Excellent health provider.

I relocated from Ohio to Port St Lucie, FL about 5 years ago and searched extensively for a pcp in the area. I chose Dr Patel and I could not be happier. On my initial visit I was surprised at the amount of time that Dr Patel spent with me, nearly an hour. He was extremely thorough and caring. For the past couple of years I have a checkup every 3 months as he keeps a close watch on me. Every appointment lasts for a good half hour or so. Dr Patel is not only a fine professional in his office but also visits any of his patients who may be hospitalized, which I believe is a rarity in today’s world. His staff is also top notch as I have also had occasion to see a member of his support staff a couple of times on short notice. I feel that I could not have made a better choice for my pcp.

As always my experiences with Dr Patel are caring and thorough. Dr Patel has been attentive to my wellbeing and health for the past 19 years. His guidance and thoroughness has helped me to improve the quality of my health. As with some doctors he may run behind schedule but he never shortens my visits to make up time. I appreciate him giving me his full attention while I am in the office. So I will wait as needed because others may need him as well.
