Dr Patel's staff was friendly, helpful and very understanding. Dr Patel is the first doctor in years that I have felt listened to what I was saying and actually tried to help me.
He handled my phobia of needles by distracting me during my blood work, and he even helped make sure I wasn't in public for too long of a period of time due to my social anxiety.
Dr. Patel was my physician for several years now. I was 'handed' to him after my previous physician passed away. He was fine most of the time, but had the odd practice of holding up my medications if I didn't schedule appointments with him when he wanted to see me. I travel often, and sometimes I also just couldn't figure out why he wanted to see me (in absence of new test results to discuss, for example). But he would hold up my refills when I did not schedule appointments. Mind you, the medications I take are ones I can't NOT take. I could suffer a heart attack suddenly going off of one of them, for example. I grew tired of this game and decided I needed another physician.
I would not only recommend him for my adult family and friends but for children as well, this doctor really listens to his patients. He made me a believer in good doctors, and trust me with a cynic like me, that's no easy task.
Example: I've had a spot on my hand for over 2 years, I've had a biopsy, tried medicine after medicine and nothing helped and nobody (Even after the biopsy) could tell me what this was and why it was spreading. Dr Patel looks at my hand once...just once and tell's me he believes he knows what it is. He prescribes a cream and guess what? It's almost gone.
Dr. Patel came across as very discourteous and was in a rush to get me in and out of the door never really looked away from his computer and wrote me a cream for a small fungal rash that actually made me break out all over and when I called his nurse to let them know what had happen they advised me to just try the cream while taking diphenhydramine this of course didn't work at clearing up the break out from the cream or the original issue. I had to go to an urgent care and they wrote me an entirely different cream and everything was cleared up within couple applications... Needless to say I would never go back to this doctor or recommend him to anyone!!!!
