Dr Patel is always very attentive, listens to me and answers any and all questions. I never feel rushed with him. I believe I am getting excellent care as he seems up to date with all the latest cardiac studies.

Poor bedside manner. Didn’t keep the appointment time had to wait 45 mins past my appointment. Didn’t seem to really care. Treated me as a meat market. Hearding cattle through the motions and when I got to see the dr I got a while five minutes. Why doesn’t this practice respect our time. ? Can’t wait to go to another cardiologist where they actually respect us

Samir Patel, MD is one of the finest and brightest MDs my husband and I have been fortunate to know. His level of caring and expertise are second to none. We trust him implicitly to provide the highest quality of care to us both. He is, as old timers like us are known to say, "the real deal." Our community is fortunate have an MD of his capabilities and as a retired medical laboratory scientist of 42 years, I am delighted to recommend Dr. Samir Patel.
