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.

Never would I recommend him
Our experience was initially good but he will not work with your other Dr on meds and makes terrible decision based on what he thinks should happen. The results were catastrophic for my husband.

Dr. Patel was very professional and reassuring as we went through the process of all tests to rule out a heart problem. Very efficient office and staff. The P.A., Matt, was excellent in obtaining medical history and complaints. Technicians doing testing were competent and reassuring. At follow up appointment with Dr. Patel, we were relieved to find out tests were normal with no heart problem.

My husband was referred to dr. Patel because he was having a lot of trouble breathing, which is indicative of heart problems. Without even examining my husband he said, “there is nothing wrong with you, just go home and loose some weight”. My husband passed away 2 weeks later. Thank you Dr. Patel for you excellent care.

Dr. Patel spent a good amount of time addressing my questions and concerns. He is personable and seems to genuinely care about his patients!

Everyone at Cardiac Care is super nice, but I just am not happy with the care I got there. They never really seemed to take my concerns seriously and would downplay things. I've had to insist on getting tests done. They failed to tell me I had the beginnings mild heart disease. It was my pulmonologist who first noticed it. They have been very unhelpful in trying to get my blood pressure and cholesterol under control. And it has resulted in me recently having a small stroke. Their patient portal never works and the "visit summaries" that I've read are very inaccurate claiming we discussed things that we absolutely did not discuss. I will be switching to a new cardiologist.

This "doctor", and I use the term loosely as he does not honor his oath, does not care one whit about the patient in front of him. You are just an insurance claim and nothing more.  His arrogant tantrum and extremely dismissive attitude was nothing I have encountered with any doctor and, unfortunately, I have seen many. Phewwww, what a painful, draining and ironically stressful experience. Clearly, I would NOT recommend this "doctor" for ANYthing.

Dr. Patel is an excellent doctor. He knew the tests I needed and how to explain everything to me as it was a bit scary for me. His demeanor with me was wonderful. I felt so blessed to of been seen by him, and to continue seeing him. One of the best doctors I have ever met.

My 35 year old son recently found out he needed a pace maker. I was shocked since we have never had any issue in our family. I went immediately to see Dr. Patel for a complete examination of my heart. Dr. Patel was awesome, he took his time to explain things and his staff was warm and very friendly. I would recommend Dr. Patel to anyone.

Dr, Patel has been my Cardiologist for the last 6 years and every time I see him I am impressed with the staff and him. They go out of their way to show they care. This extends from the girls in the front to the technicians and staff in the back. I recently had to get into see him on very short notice due to other medical problems. They got me in to see him within 4 hrs. and completed all the testing that was needed within 2 short days. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

It has now been 39 days since I had a heart attack. I have heard nothing from Dr. Patel. So, I don't know the results of tests, nor do I know what is next. I have not gotten a return call after leaving a message.
