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 her office have always been nothing but wonderful, caring people. I was having a time with my thyroid and with Dr. Patel and Jennifer, I feel as though I have found angels on earth. Not to long back I had a health scare and Jennifer called me at home to tell me to get to the hospital a.s.a.p. I do not live in the Lexington area, it was after hours that the problem was brought to their attention and still I got a call from her home, expressing concern for my health. I don't know what is going on with the office now, other than I will no longer be able to see Dr. Patel...………...it's a sad day and a real loss for me on this one. I can only hope to find someone that I can trust again as I did Dr. Patel and her staff.

For the first time in years my blood sugar is under control. Dr. Patel and her office RN, Jennifer O'Byran are exceptional in every way. I truly believe they have saved my life. Thank you both!

Dr. Patel is very sweet, so is her receptionist, her nurse Jennifer is always messing up my prescriptions I'm always having to call to get corrected, it's ended up costing me lots of extra money I do not have. Once she up left the office and didn't put in my refills. If you don't go every 3months you won't get refills renewed. My mail order insulin is 90days makes it affordable for me, Jennifer has been giving me only 30days that I can't afford. She is why I'm looking for another endocrinologist

9 years ago, Dr. Patel found my cancer. I was young & scared, but she had such wonderful bedside manner. She assured me that everything would be ok, and she took wonderful care of me! Today, I find myself having similar complications, so I had to find Dr. Patel, no exceptions.:) She's wonderful.
