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.

Doesn’t listen
Came to the hospital with a heart attack. Doctor asked me if I smoke. When I told him I don’t smoke, he accused me of being a closet smoker. I live a very healthy lifestyle of healthy eating and exercise. Unfortunately, my family history precluded me for heart disease. I didn’t appreciate him treating me as if I was a liar.

I’m a vascular surgeon and Dr Patel takes care of me and my family. You could say he’s doctor’s doctor. I first chose him because I saw his great attention to detail in taking care of complicated hospital patients. I keep coming back because he always tells it to me straight and follows up on all my health details. I have recommended him to several of my colleagues who have been likewise pleased with his care.

He is the best Dr that I have ever had in my adult life. He is one who tells it to you straight even if you don't want to hear it. I would recommend Dr Patel to all of my family and friends. Dr. Surendra Patel #1

Dr. Patel is a very kind and caring physician. He has remained my treating physician for the last several years simply because he does whatever is necessary to get to the heart of my medical problems. He always makes sure that I get the necessary testing so he can make the proper informed decisions. Lastly, he is the only doctor I have ever had that follows up to the extent he actually calls me at home to make sure I'm feeling better. A terrific doctor.

Don't waste your time with this doctor. I would recommend going to a different doctor. Like the previous reviewer mentioned, he doesn't seem to care much about you. Makes no to little comments about your health when you voice your concerns about your health issues. Doesn't spend much time with you either.
