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.

Dr Patel was not only very, very kind to my 84 year old mother but she was kind to my family. I now live in Chicago, and my mother is a 3 year survivor, at age 87, and their are no doctors in the 3rd largest city in the country that compare to her patience and knowledge. She saved my moms life. Dr Patel will now be exclusively doing research at MD Anderson, Houston, Texas and no longer “seeing” patients as of 12/19/19. My entire family wishes her good luck on her new endeavor. She will be missed.

Dr. Patel is very thorough and knows what she is talking about. I like to keep up with the details of my healthcare, and I am glad to have a doctor that cares just as much as I do. You're not just a number. A compassionate doctor with good bedside manner is hard to find these days. Dr. Patel came highly recommended by another wonderful doctor. I am glad I chose her as my medical oncologist.
