Silka Chirag Patel, MD, MPH

After nurses and lab made (multiple) mistakes, Patel jumped to conclusions (wrongly) that I was somehow dieting to lose weight during pregnancy. She continued to be combative and resisted the (much simpler) explanation that a mistake had been made in the weigh ins ( nurse transposed some numbers) . She insisted I was losing weight (...simply and verifiably untrue) and continued to treat me negatively and combatively every time we saw her. It didnt stop till I switched to a diff OB ...who was surprised at the notes/situation..bc I was right on target (so was the baby). Anyway..a bad experience. She wouldnt listen and doubled down rather than take a step back and consider that the records had been mixed up. FWIW their lab also made other mistakes and mixed records up with another patient - frustrating. I wont go back..way too many mistakes generally at the practice/lab .. and a doc who was oddly accusatory about the whole thing. In my opinion, very weird to accuse patients based on… records when your office is clearly making so many mistakes with the records.
