Regarding the 1 Star Rating above....Dr. G. Patel is not a Pediatrician; he is in Geriatrician. She has to be rating the wrong doctor. I am very pleased with Dr. G. as well as his staff. They are all professionals.

They are extremely unprofessional. Wait time is extremely long- always too congested.The doctor really has NO time for you other than exactly the 1 problem you are there for. This means that they do not care about the growth pattern, the development or any other thing that should be otherwise be noted/ noticed by a pediatrician.The ONE THING THEY ARE GOOD AT is giving you an appointment. The doctor really either doesnt know about the childs growth or doesnt care.It is YOUR responsibility to make sure that your kids immunization is on time IF GIVEN AT ALL.Make copies of all records for your kid because they MISPLACE Why I am spending all this time and effort is because I am the mom of 2 ex-patients. One of my kids is way behind on the immunization and even though the growth is borderline alarming, the doctor was not even aware of the problem till I left the practice. The paperwork for immunization for second child was misplaced twice.
