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.

He figured out my problem and started me on the correct treatment. The prior 5 doctors that I had visited for the same problem over the past 2 years had no clue or seemed to make something up. Extremely knowledgeable and thorough! Even when I spoke to the nurse, she said he was amazing and the other doctors would often seek his advise on their patients and if the ER staff or their family needed to be seen as a patient that they would usually request him. Wow!

Dr Patel was very nice. He called the next day personally to check on me, make sure I'm doing good and remind me to get a follow up visit with my ophthalmologist.

He saw me in the emergency room. I clearly stated that issue of me having a hard time breathing ONLY happened after I had been super active. Of course he ignores it gives me a chest x-ray and then says you have a viral infection. I then went to my actual doctor two days later I WAS HAVING AN ASTHMA ATTACK! I was offered zero help, I am lucky the attack was not worse! And take your own notes. No one uses a scribe anymore it makes you look lazy.
