Dr. Smruti Vijay Patel, MD

Came in with abdominal pain. Had to practically beg for a pelvic exam after US results showed “no cysts.” Dr. Patel told me the pain I felt with her exam was “just pressure” and told me to see a GI as nothing was wrong with my female organs. She said my pain could be related to my appendix (that my charts would have clearly showed was removed 3 years ago after appendicitis). Fast forward two days I am in the ER…They find my right ovary had a cyst rupture and I had a sizable cyst on my left ovary. They were able to feel it during the pelvic exam that was once again painful. They did not dismiss my pain and I was properly treated. I would not recommend Dr. Patel and will not be returning to the practice.

I have officially switched to her after 3 other obgyn doctors in the area. My daughter switched as well. She has a great bedside manner, does not just listen to you but hears you and seems to care. The staff in the obgyn area is great!!! And the wait is not bad unless you go to the lab. I was actually shocked at how different that area is. The vibe is not friendly or courteous and even if you are the only one in the waiting room, they make you wait. Had I not gone to the lab it would have been a 5 star staff rating.

Very intelligent and knowledgeable in her field. Took time to explain things to me in terms I would understand. Wait time in the office was a little longer than I would hope for but it was worth it. Would recommend her to all my lady friends.
