Mukesh Deviprasad Patel, MD

From the moment, i walked in the door. Dr patel treated me with no bedside manner or common courtesy. For the bulk of the visit he tried to bully me into the outpatient bahavioral therapy, despite my numerous No's. He did not talk to me or treat me like an adult, im 30, and immediatley had an agenda to strip my low dose xanax for panic attacks. He refused to ackowledge that i had panic attacks and treated mr like i was lying. At the end of the appointment, his medical opinion was an email to my Primary Physician for a low dose of Prozac and that my psychiatric care would be through my PCP, not him the Psychiatrist. He should not be working with people who suffer from mental illness, its hard enough to get out of bed and harder to get to doctors for help. Dr patel makes me lose faith in psychiatrists and especially any psychiatrists in the hunterdon group

Very nice man. Didn't try to hospitalize me when a screener wanted to admit me despite a complete lack of any psychiatric symptoms. I was in no way a danger to myself and Dr. Patel recognized that. Thank heavens for people like him to fix situations like I was in because of incompetent screeners who lack good judgement and reasoning skills!
