I was a patient of a doctor in the same practice as Dr. Patel. When my own doctor was away, Dr. Patel was the doctor who covered for him. He diagnosed a rash as shingles, and I went to a dermatologist for a second opinion. The dermatologist gave a different diagnosis. I let my own doctor know, and he informed Dr. Patel. After that, not only would Patel not speak to me, but he said that he would no longer treat me. He was furious because I'd gone for a second opinion. His refusal to treat me meant that if my doctor was away, I'd be forced to seek treatment in an ER. I was and remain shocked that someone who takes the oath "do no harm" would leave a patient stranded. When my own doctor retired and Patel took his place (as an MDVIP physician), I went looking for a new doctor. I could never trust someone who would turn on me like that.

This "Dr" begs for patients and then refuses to call back or provide the promised medical treatment. He has no problem taking your money. He has caused me to be life threateningly sick and then refused medical treatment.

My husband was a patient of Dr. Patel . Dr. Patel did NOT graduate from an American Medical school and he was not a good doctor.

I have been seeing Dr. Patel since he opened his practice and I can honestly say he is the BEST!!!! He is kind, compassionate and a top notch Physician. I only hope he never retires.

Dr. Patel truly cares about my general health. I am lucky to have found my way to him years ago and look forward to many years under his care. I'm not kidding with the 4 star ratings

In dealing with a severe medical issue, this quack sent his patient home for 3 days instead of to the ER. Could not speak to patient while visiting in Hospital. If you value your life, I highly recommend you do not go to this Dr.
