My husband is a patient of Dr. Patel and I was recently in need of a cardiologist too and I requested Dr Umesh Patel because he is very knowledgable, caring and takes the time to actually listen and talk to his patients (hence the long wait time in his office).

I have been a patient of Dr Patel for almost 2 decades. He is one of the few doctors who is willing to spend as much time as is needed to answer all of your questions. He stays updated with all of the latest Journal articles and new solutions on the market. He will explain why he does or does not agree with the article or product as it relates to me. When he found out I was in the hospital (for an unrelated incident) Dr Patel made a point to come visit me. I can't see me ever going to another cardiologist! If your looking for a doctor who is always looking out for what is in YOUR best interest, then you need to see Dr Patel.

After waiting two and a half hours, I get seen by a rude and unintelligent "doctor." No comments on my cardiac condition except "did you get your blood drawn?" - which was in my records that he had..... Told me to read a book that I could buy at his front desk for my information on my condition. WHAT A SCAM!!!

After waiting for two and a half hours to see him, he was rude and worthless. Not a single piece of advice for my cardiac condition except to buy a book on amazon to read about it. What a waste of time! No idea how he has a medical license.
