We wouldn't recommend him to anyone. He needs to put the patients first instead of himself. In our opinion, he lacks empathy and knowledge. He is also very hard to understand, which complicates patient care.

Is he still practicing medicine? Several websites say his clinic is closed? He shouldn’t be practicing medicine in my opinion and he is lacking in his skills as a physician. He’s also very hard to understand, which makes communication difficult.

Horrible doctor and a horrible person. I wouldn't recommend him as a doctor to my worse enemy. He is cruel, sexist and mean spirited. He treats men better than women. I agree with every negative review on him. Karma is real.

He lies and he’s deceitful. Lying and harassment are disgusting and it can ruin innocent lives. However, the truth will win everytime. Myself and others have all of the facts and I completely agree with all of his poor reviews online. He can’t cover up the truth, no matter how hard he tries to erase it anc gaslight.

Dr. Patel is an excellent doctor, it's too bad the world don't have more of him. My husband has serious medical issues and Dr. Patel has always gotten his health back in check. If your looking for an M.D. doctor to take good care of you, Dr. Patel is the number one choice. his medical background tells all.

Dr. Patel is worth waiting for. He takes time to really look at my overall health. downside is the wait. you can get an appointment quickly, but you wait in the waiting room a long time. Dr. Patel's bedside manner is charming and genuine.

I've had a couple experiences with serious medical conditions and this doctor. He does thorough checking of your symtoms and makes appropriate referrals. I'm more please with his medical practice than some past family doctors.
