Patient Reviews
Jul 20, 2024
Dr. Patel and her staff is very good and easy to work with. Kayla, NP was very knowledgeable about my medical history on my very first visit, could not ask for better. Very detailed directions and helpful getting prescriptions. Dr. Patel was very professional and knowledgeable about what I was needing. I was worried about who I could replace Dr. McCall (now retired)with because he was tremendous. I don’t have that worry anymore, Dr Patel is that good.
