Patient Reviews
Nov 05, 2023
Dr. Patel is hands down the most thorough, knowledgeable and helpful Cardiologist I’ve ever known. I’m so fortunate to have such a gifted, patient Cardiologist who listens. He provided answers when no others physicians could. Dr. Patel diagnosed me with Autonomic nervous system dysfunction “Dysautonomia.” He is always a tremendous help and partner in my health journey. I’m grateful for you!
