Dr. Rasik A Patel, MD

Dr. Rasik Patel should be investigated and lose his license due to his MALPRACTICE and taking advantage of the elderly! He is calling elderly patients and telling them to come into his office to "sign some paperwork" all so he can get paid for an in-person visit. He did this to a 90-year old woman during the peak of the CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC when the state is mandated to "shelter in place" ESPECIALLY the elderly! She arrived and there was no "paperwork to be signed" and he told her she must continue coming to his office to pick up her monthly prescription and still go to the pharmacy rather than by mail (which is not true.) He has now exposed and risked the life of a 90-year-old woman who trusted him.

Wait times are very long even if you have an appointment. Messes up Rx refills with different type of meds or different amount.

I really admire Dr. Patel's holistic approach. He is also incredibly intuitive in diagnosis. My wife and I are his patients for many years and over the years he had worked miracles for us. He completely fixed my cholesterol and hormone problems, and my wife's shingles and many other issues. He also showed us special stretches to work all core muscles in minutes!

Dr. Rasik Patel has done miracles for me and my wife! I had very high (600+) Triglycerides and cholesterol for several years before I first saw him. The previous doctors had me on a diet of practically nothing but grass, plus strong statins for 3 years. After all that the triglycerides, HDL and LDL could not be balanced (one will improve at the expense of the other).Dr. Patel right away diagnosed the issue, and put me Advicor (much milder medicine, with no statins), plus got rid of the unsustainable diet-restriction, asking to "live normal life, eating with common-sense and moderation." Just 8 months into the treatment ALL my triglyceride, HDL & HDL became better than normal, all the while eating normal food and finally enjoying life. It's been 3 years since then, and I am still in normal range!Dr. Patel takes the time to ask detailed questions to come up with holistic diagnosis. Case and point was how he diagnosed my wife's chronic skin rash issue. He correctly diagnosed that no… medicine was needed, just change the laundry detergent!One more thing that I really appreciate is his availability to answer questions by emails. His office also takes prescription refill request for the maintenance medicines by email, a major convenience.

I have been seeing Dr. Rasik Patel since 2008. He is the best family physican that I have seen since last 12 years. He is very polite & professionalism, very good in diagnosing the problem and subscribing the right medication. He spent lot of time with the patient to answer very question that we ask. If you are looking for a good Physican in Folsom, your best bet is Dr. RASIK PATEL. Once you go for the first visit then you will see why.
