Patient Reviews
Jul 15, 2023
I trust Dr. D. Patel with my life ... literally. He has always given me sound medical advise. I've learned to follow his orders, and he's never led me wrong. He is non-judgmental and kind. His entire staff is wonderful, from the front office to nursing. I have never had any problem getting an appointment quickly if I needed one, and their phone is always answered promptly.
