Dr. Vijesh Patel, MD

I like the doctor. He has been my doctor for over ten years. His beast of a secretary is horrible to people. I've seen her talk down to people everytime I'm in the office. Everyone who goes in there has a story about her. She is the doctors sister n law but that does not give her reason to be so very rude to people. Patel needs to man up and take care of his patients emotional needs because that lady is a straight up bully. She screens calls and does not answer phone calls that she considers problems. I've have personally seen this happen. Her coworkers even talk behind her back about how mean she behaves and how patel will not do anything about her. Long story short....doctor is a good doctor in my opinion. Secretary is a mean short tempered bully who brings the complete office experience down from a 5 to a 2.

I had my 1st appt yesterday! He was excellent! He took time with me andgot things moving on blood , lungs etc! I felt very comfortable with him!

I'm QMB patient, and he's charging me co-pay, I don't suppose to pay a penny for my care, he's been my DR for 4 years. I talked to Medicare and they said that I don't have to pay for anything, now because I refuse to pay him he's dropping me off his care, he's not only my P.C.P. but my pain management DR ????, too, it's a shame that he doesn't care about his patients ?? he just care about money, he doesn't want me to look for another DR, he's threatening me with my pain medication and finally his wife told me that he is not going to see me anymore.

I've been seeing From Patel for many years and he's the greatest doctor. I would recommend him and his staff they are all professional and accommodating

Crooked, rude, and all about money instead of helping someone with a swollen finger! I am a very reasonable and forgiving person, and it takes a lot for me to leave a bad review and I leave lots of good ones. We always paid at the time of our appointment and even paid for an appointment missed that I do not remember making. What is bad is I actually really liked the doctor until he sent my husband for an unecessary xray and MRI BEFORE he prescribed an antibiotic and a steroid that cured his swollen finger. He had us worried my husband had a bone infection or blood infection scaring us out of our mind and only when I called and asked why they did not give him an antibiotic while we waited on the xray results, did they prescribed one BUT did not prescribe the steroid, too! Any good ethical doctor would do that first with his symptoms to see if that worked BEFORE ordering an xray and MRI's costing 800 out of our pocket. Also, they only take cash and ONLY give you a handwritten receipt?

I would never recommended this Dr to treat anyone. He is a small town Doctor with limited knowledge and experience. If you care about your health, go to another doctor!

Dr Patel is an excellent Doctor. He is very thorough and spends adequate time discussing issues with you. The main problem I have is his office staff, they are not very friendly or courteous, not only to me but other people that I have talk to. The clinic is very self service, if you need any follow up for any clinical testing that was preformed ( i.e. blood work, MRI, outside X-rays, etc.) You have to verify and schedule yourself back in to see the doctor. They generally will not let you know.
