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.

Do not recommend - Unprofessional
I have been going to this office for a few years now, but lately, it has become extremely unprofessional, uncommunicative and disrespectful. I try to give medical professionals a lot of grace, but I am disappointed by the staff of this office and the doctor. I had an appointment on 9-24 where labs were taken. Since then I have called in almost weekly to speak to the doctor and get my lab results. Each call I was told they were following up with Quest on my results as they were missing but on my latest call, I was told there was a misunderstanding and they had my lab results all along. Although they were positive, I still haven’t received a call from Dr. Patolia back regarding my results or this experience and after 6 calls, I was told I had to make an appointment to speak with the doctor although I was reassured every call that she would call me back the next day. Unfortunately, it seems like they have turned off the ability to write Google reviews, so leaving this here.

Dr. Patolia is fantastic! She listened and understood all of my concerns and issues. I’ve had doctors act as if I was faking my pain. For the first time, I felt heard. She knew what was wrong and the best action to take. I ask so many questions, and she answered every single one. She reassured me everything would be fine. I had to have surgery, and her whole team was terrific.

Dr. Dolar Patolia is a very caring, kind and personable; she is knowledgeable and experienced in her field of practice. She truly cares for the well-being of her patients. She is very encouraging before and after my surgery. She is truly a jewel, know matter if it is for a yearly check-up, sick check or surgery; she is always the same, kind-hearted. During my pre-op (at The Women's Hospital) for surgery every where I went in the hospital (the lab techs, nurses and EKG techs) they all sung glorious praises about Dr. Patolia. They were accurate, true and genuine when speaking about her. I enjoy the nurses; they are as kind and polite as Dr. Patolia.

I give 1 star for reception staff.They respond too seriously that i felt very unfriendly.coming to dr. dolar s patolia, i give 2 star.although she is very knowledgeable and experienced doctor,she doesn't give all the info that we need to know.Appointments were always rushed.I had to come back home and google for answers.she hardly spent 10 min for all my appointments which includes scanning also.On my recent visit for one of my questions she responded rudely. That's when i decided i don't need to pay a lot and get treated in such way.

I’ve seen Dr Patolia for 17 years now and she delivered both of my boys - 13 and 10. She is amazing. Always spends time asking about me, checking on me. When my younger sister, who lives in another state, was diagnosed with dysgerminoma and unexpectedly had to have an ovary removed, I called Dr Patolia immediately. She took as much time as I needed and talked me through it. I can’t say enough great things about her!
