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 has the most awesome care primarily due to the empathy she exudes as she engages you as a patient. I came away feeling that she understood my condition, was listening to what I said and applied the most appropriate care.

Dr. Patel sets the bar so high for any new doctor I meet. I have been seeing her for the post year and aside from her genuine warm demeanor and bedside manner, she is simply excellent as a cornea specialist One thing I especially appreciate is how she makes you feel that all her time is solely for you. Never makes you feel rushed (despite many patients in the waiting room). She welcomes any questions and when prescribing and would explain what it does, what side effects could happen, and what the other options are. All her future patients would be so lucky to be under her care.

Dr. Patel was extremely attentive and thorough. My initial appointment with her was extensive but she found the problem and treated it quickly and efficiently. The follow-up care has been wonderful...but most important, Dr. Patel's compassionate demeanor put me at ease the entire way. I highly recommend her.

Dr. Patel is a very caring, kind and determined doctor. She treated my 90 year old mother for more than a year, trying different treatments, medications and methods until she found something that truly healed my mom's eye. She shared many disappointments and many celebrations during our time with her as we were on this journey of healing. We were so blessed to have had her as my mom's doctor. The surgery she performed was successfully able remove scar tissue from my mom's cornea and the medications she prescribed healed a lesion that was there for such a long time. She will be sorely missed by us and she will truly be a blessing to anyone who becomes her patient in her new location.

Dr. Patel is extremely kind, patient, attentive and professional. I always feel like I'm in good hands when meeting with her. I listened to her words and started taking much better care of my eyes. Not only does Dr. Patel see the improvement, but my eyes feel great as well. Highly recommend.
