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.

Meh
Doctor Patel stood the whole visit bouncing from foot to foot. Appeared rushed. Never referred to my scans or offered to show me the X-rays he took. Referred me to a second physician. I know by reviews and other ratings, he is a talented physician but I wouldn't be comfortable going to an OR with him. Perhaps it was my appt at the end of his day, but... The ancillary staff were attentive.

Fixed my back
I came into the emergency room and my spine was broken in half. Dr. Patel and his team performed emergency surgery to put my spine back together and now I am back to walking a few short weeks later.

I was losing hope
Went to several doctors and they all wanted to operate. Dr. Patel told me I didn’t need surgery— and he was right! I got better. Couldn’t have met a more honest surgeon who didn’t want to just operate.

Incredible cervical surgeon
Not much to say. Performed my surgery promptly. Saw what was wrong on my MRI immediately. Pushed me to try conservative care at first. Then operated when nothing worked. I am 100% better. Wouldnt go anywhere else.

Reduced my son's ankle a few years ago in the Hasbro Children's Hospital emergency room. The pediatrician said it looked like it had never been broken after! Amazing!
