Dr. Kalpesh Ramji Patel, MD

I was receiving care from Dr. Patel when part way through care his office manager called me and said Dr. Patel decided my insurance doesn't pay him enough and is have to get the catheter taken out my someone else. No one was even recommended. So as sick as I was I had to call around Tucson to find help. Too much time went by and I got an UTI and I had to go to urgent care and they helped me out.

The man stopped being a doctor when he conducted a Transurethral Endoscopy on me in less than 3 minutes. He did the same thing with a transrectal ultrasound....simply put: THE MOST PAIN I HAVE EVER FELT. I thought the pain was a normal part of both procedures until I found out differently from another doctor that it isn't. Why he did this I do not know, and I cannot say that I care, but I hope it does not happen to anyone else.

The most memorable experience I had with Patel was getting ready for my bladder scoped . My legs up in the air, my vagina exposed, and he stands over me telling a telemarketer on his cell phone to never call him again. He than put the phone in his pocket, did not wash his hands and scoped me. He then said looks good and walked out. He did not tell me anything or suggest anything and he said more to the telemarketer than to me. Just as wonderful, his nurse was washing the scope in the sink with soap and water. Dr Patel is not ethical, nor good and clearly does not care about sterile environment. This man should not be practicing medicine in this way. He was awful. What kind of doctor talks to telemarketers over an exposed vagina and then not wash his hands?

I switched to Dr Patel after a consultation on treatment options. He did not recommend his own specialty, so I believe he puts the interests of his patients first.
