Dr. Kalpana Vikram Patel, MD

She is in the wrong field working for the wrong hospital. If Florida Hospital only really knew the PR reputation disaster this one doctor is causing. All it takes is on bad apple and she is a very bad one. Can you believe after ignoring my questions and acting as if she had to rush to the bathroom, my issue was that I wasn’t getting adequate diaretic while taking on loads of IV with antibiotic, my heart is weak and needs help removing fluids. I came in on Tuesday weighing 242 and by thursday I was at 257 ! Anyone knows that is deadly for a CHF patient. She refused to get a cardiologist involved refuse to give the regular doses I take at home then asked if the bag next to my bed were my meds and instructed me to just go in and take from my meds whatever meds I felt the hospital was shorting me out on ! Really ? So maybe I can OD and hurt myself . It’s live getting a visit from the grim reaper dressed in a white jacket. This I will take further. I only hope that these ratings are taken… notice so that a patient that doesn’t know how to protect him/herself doesn’t go thru this.

Worst doctor ever , bad attitude, bad manners , and definitely unprofessional I had the worst service from her when I stayed at Florida hospital south , she’s heartless, i hope to see her sick do maybe she feels how patients feel , Florida hospital need to get rid of her she’s destroying a beautiful facility like that Bc of her bad manners .

Extremely poor bedside manner, arrogant, refused to answer questions, tried to change subject accepts no accountability, You are nothing to her, She is rude rude rude! Dismisses your concerns just plain does not care! Was in hospital and she was in charge of floor I was on Fl South, She was so awful I requested her to be taken off my care.

My suggestion is if you happen to fall under her care while in Fl Hospital, ORMC ,or Orlando Health beware! she does truly care about the patient and their needs or concerns. She is mechanical and cold. She dismisses the concerns of the patient and could not care less about their comfort and stability. I honestly do not know how she is in this field.

Very poor bed side manner! Would not answer of my questions! She was rude, pompous and just said it was not her problem to see my own doctor.
