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.

Thorough examination
Dr Patel addressed all my concerns and suggested the proper course of treatment. I’ve been going through the hoops with my previous PCP but Dr Patel took her time to help me get it under control. Will recommend her to my friends and family.

I had a good experience with a pre surgery check up. Dr. Patel was kind, listened, and explained things well. I was ready to be unhappy because I miss Dr. Wagner so much. But I think Dr. Patel will be great, as well.

Avoid Dr. Patel at all costs, before it costs you
I never bash people on social but I can't let this one go. Avoid Dr. Vinita Patel at Westfield Family Practice at all costs - because it will cost you. She replaced the wonderful Dr. Wagner and instead of awaiting annual visits and trusting prior health records, she is bringing people in for needless appointments, making up chronic conditions that will need more visits, and gatekeeping medications, presumably to earn her keep with billing hours. I tried to resolve this with the office several times and instead of acknowledging a misstep they have doubled down with harassing billing department phone calls. Over a $55 copay I was assured wouldn't be billed. This office only cares about your and your insurance company's money.
