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.

Knowledgeable and compassionate
Dr. Dipti Patel-Donnelly has been my physician for over 10 years, and I couldn't ask for better medical care. Her combination of extensive knowledge and genuine compassion makes every visit reassuring. She takes the time to listen carefully to my concerns and explains everything thoroughly. What truly sets Dr. Dipti Patel-Donnelly apart is how she remembers personal details about my health history without having to review my chart extensively. Her caring approach and medical expertise have earned my complete trust. I'm grateful to have such a dedicated and skilled doctor overseeing my healthcare for all these years.

2nd opinion knocked it out of the park!
I came to Dr Patel ..to get a 2nd opinion on tests from my newly diagnosed lymphoma. I wanted to hear her interpretation of the results and plan for going forward. She was personable, upbeat, confident and proffessional in explaining the results in a way i and my husband could understand. Her 20 over years of experience was evident. She answered all of my questions. She also gave me a thorough exam. She has become my primary oncologist for this journey.

Top Notch Knowledge
Dr. Patel-Donnelly was impressive, from her firm handshake when we first met to her warm farewell. She clearly explained the diagnosis in straightforward terms, recommended tests that hadn’t been considered before, and emphasized the importance of timely treatment—all while patiently answering any questions we had. Her warm demeanor and compassion made me feel that I would be in good hands following her recommended treatment.

Dr. Patel is the best. I don’t know how I would have navigated the last 7 years without her. She is smart, compassionate, and an expert at treating MM. I trust her knowledge and appreciate her dedication to patient care. I recommend her to everyone I meet who is looking for an oncologist. When you are diagnosed with incurable cancer, your relationship with your oncologist is for life. Dr. Patel is the doctor you want to be by your side. Not only is she great, but the nurses are also amazing. They are friendly, honest, funny, and compassionate. I love seeing them every other week. A really great practice with expert care.
