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.

Excellent, caring physician. Called his office on a Friday afternoon at 4:45 pm. The operator said the doctor was off on Friday’s but that she could pass on any messages left with her. By 5:20 pm the same afternoon, the doctor called me and, after some probing questions appropriately altered my drug dosage. Then, the next morning (Saturday) around 9:00 am he called me again for a follow-up check and recommended that I call the office Monday for an office appointment. Dr. Patel’s timely intervention that Friday afternoon saved me an unnecessary visit to Urgent Care or the hospital. His caring attention to the patient is much appreciated. Ramani Whittier

Dr. Paresh Patel to me is a great doctor. Saved my life in January of 2005 and been seeing him ever since and to this point will not see anyone else unless an emergency occurs. He's personal and interested in my well being.

Arrogant and rude. Waited over 2 hours for my appointment. Poor scheduling. Whole time in waiting room television played the same ads for different drugs. So boring. Dr. seems to be out of touch with new medications. Acted like he had never heard of Enbrel injection for rheumatoid arthritis. Won't ever go back.

This is one of the most unprofessional, rude, and pompous doctors I have ever encountered. He spoke over every question that was asked, did not give an intelligent medical explanation of the questions asked, rushed through everything and personally insulted and threatened to walk out. Second visit was 5mins and 8secs (timed) also witnessed by a family member who is a Nurse Practicioner. Same deamenor did not care, no explanations give and extremely rude. Subsequent visit with another cardiologi
