Dr. Patel is without a doubt the best.. She is excellent in explaining everything with a sense of calm which makes me feel comfortable in what she’s saying. In addition she is one of the nicest people I have ever met. I’m relocating to Florida in about a year and one of my concerns with the move is not being able to see Dr. Patel.

Dr. Minal Patel gave me the information I needed from my MRI. She gave me guidance on when I should repeat my MRI and colonoscopy. We had a very nice conversation.

I initially was seen by Dr. Patel in 2017. She was the only doctor that was able to help me with a very serious issue. Due to personal reasons, I left the state in 2018 only to return so I can go to Dr. Patel again. I'm starting to relapse on my initial issue and I know Dr. Patel will be able to help me get back into remission. She listens to her patients, takes her time, and is knowledgeable about the latest medical techniques and medications. Dr. Patel is the best!
