Rajan K. Patel, MD

If I could leave zero stars, I would. This doctor is dangerous. I was in a lot of pain when I went to him. I had never been diagnosed with migraines or carpal tunnel. He told me I had both. Review of a simple anatomical diagram suggested otherwise. He wanted to inject my head with some sort of medication. I eat healthy. I work out. He suggested lifestyle changes. When I pointed out the discrepancies between his diagnosis and my symptoms, he told me I should go to a psychiatrist. Instead, I got a second opinion from a doctor at USC. I do not have migraines or carpal tunnel. I have an autoimmune system disease that is causing neuropathy. Upon reviewing my historical EMG and completing one himself, my new doctor noted that it was obviously not carpal tunnel. I had 50% less sensory nerve activity even when Patel tested. My arms and legs are now losing feeling. I have autonomic involvement. I'm still undergoing tests, but I'm getting somewhere and it's not in my head.
