Patient Reviews
Mar 20, 2024
I have been a patient of Dr Patel's for over 15 years. He is an excellent listener and shows sincere concern for his patients. His staff are caring people that have been with him for years as well. There is consistency in their care without long delays to respond to appointments, managing appointments or after-hour calls. He is one of the very few doctors I consider good - definitely and highly recommended! I wouldn't have enough character spaces to provide examples of his staff and his superb care.
