Nice and knowledgable. Medical interns are always friendly. Office staff is selectively friendly and can act as if you're wasting their time. Good help is hard to find in D.C. apparently.

I'm accustomed to have RNs or PAs make the initial assessment before the doctor sees me, but this time I was examined by a 4th year medical student. I thought that was very unprofessional for a patient's first visit for an illness (if it were a routine physical, then it wouldn't be so bad). Once Dr. Patel came at the end of the visit, he seemed very jumpy/nervous and didn't seem to have taken time to learn about the reason for my visit. I came in for a fairly simple condition that would have been best served by immediate treatment, but he said he would wait until later in the week to call in a routine prescription after getting lab results back for a chronic condition unrelated and unaffected by bloodwork. He was not thorough and his process doesn't make much sense.

First time patient. Filled out forms ahead of time -- got to the appointment 10 minutes before it started and I was seen nearly right away. Medical student did the exam and Dr. Patel came in later to check in and offer an opinion. Dr. Patel was quick and to the point and seemed knowledgeable. Overall, I was very pleased -- the blood work person could have used a attitude boost but this was the only demerit I could give the entire operation. Pleased -- and I will return in the future.

There was no wait-time at all. Initially, his medical assistant took my vitals and inquired into the reason for my visit and any medical problems or concerns I had. Then Dr. Patel saw me and gave me the results of my tests, prescribed some medication and told me what to watch out for and what to avoid in my diet. Both Dr. Patel and his assistant were very pleasant. Dr. Patel didn't waste any time, but at the same time he answered all my questions. I was out of his office in no time.

THE worst experience EVER! I went in for an "annual physical", and received absolutely NOTHING! I was there for 10 minutes! The doctor didn't even introduce himself, went right into asking me about my family history and spoke extremely low but at the same time extremely fast! I had to ask him several times to raise his voice and speak slower! I told him three times that I was in for an annual physical, but instead he nothing! I had to ask to be weighed! Usually this is done by the medical assistant! I asked for. Blood work to be done to check normal "annual" things, but instead he said I had to reschedule and make a morning appointment and not eat anything! I mean like seriously, I clearly told the front desk I was there for an annual physical so they could've told me to schedule in the morning so that I wouldn't have to waste my time and leave work for no reason! 10 minutes later, as I'm leaving the doctor asks me to inform the front desk that I need a referral to see a neurologist. The front desk lady looks at me and yells to another lady and tells her that she has a patient. This lady tells me that I don't need a referral and to "just" call the number and I informed her that she needed to ask the doctor because he said I needed a referral! She responded back with a rude "excuse me"! This was a first and last for me!!! As a cherry on top, the d

Upon my early arrival as a new patient for an annual physical I asked the receptionist a few questions regarding my insurance - but she had know knowledge of what was going to be covered or not. She was not "rude" per se but not very pleasant - she then directed me to other staff at the office who also didn't really have the answers to my questions. I had already checked my insurance to ensure coverage - but every time I go to the doctor I double check (I've had experiences with "surprise" bills for things I thought were covered). Since they were less than helpful, I called my insurance just to make sure. I came in about 20 minutes early for my appointment, and was brought into the patient room about 35 minutes after my arrival. Then I waited another 10+ minutes alone in the room before the doctor came. Wasn't too bad of a wait time, but I hope next time it will be less...especially for someone who has to go to work immediately after the appointment. Dr. Patel was amiable and pleasant however very soft spoken and a fast talker. Nonetheless, he answered any questions I had and was more than happy to prescribe any medicines I needed. However - it took a while to get the prescriptions before I left...possibly miscommunication with the staff. I also had a blood test done in their lab downstairs, the lady there was fine but not very pleasant. Overall, the experience was fine and I may return - if I return it will be because of convenience to my home - I would suggest Dr. Patel hire a friendlier and more helpful support staff.

I didn't feel rushed, and appreciated the time with the doctor. He answered all my questions. The wait time was over an hour, including 30 minutes after I was shown to the exam room. However, I do like that they do blood work on site, so I figured I saved time from having to go elsewhere for that part of the annual exam. Also, I had to wait another 15 minutes after my appointment to get my prescription written up, I'm not sure why the doctor didn't write it right there, really inefficient process.

I went in for a physical and basic lab work (cholesterol, sugars, etc.). Surprisingly, he said they have added Vit. D levels to the standard tests they run. But I noticed they still have not added an HIV test as a standard test that is recommended. With our city's HIV/AIDS rate, I think it should be a test that patients have to "opt out" of rather than something that someone should have to ask for. It would help more people become aware of their status, positive or negative. Also, he speaks quickly and quietly. Perhaps too quickly and quietly. Speak up!

Doctor Ashesh Patel is a PHENOMENAL doctor...and i don't use that word lightly. My appointment was at 9am Tuesday morning. I arrived at 8:55am, i filled out the paper work as was seen almost immediately there after. The staff was great, kind, professional without being rigid, and were genuinely caring. The office was very "old school" witch i like very much in my doctors office as i feel it is much more hands on. I did spend more time talking with his assistant a sweet and kind med student at GW hospital, but she communicated everything to him and he knew exactly what was going on and didn't need to answer 1000 questions all over again. I have 2 broken ribs and a cold, witch was the purpose of my visit. Dr. Patel is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and never skipped a beat when talking with me. As a new resident to Washington DC he is my new primary care physician, and i cant imagine going to any other doctor. With my first visit his staff and himself now have a patient for life. 99.999999% of doctors these days are very blunt and cold and seem to care more about making sure you get your bill then making sure you are doing okay, but Dr. Patel has an old fashioned charm that truly makes you feel like a human being and not just another "number" like most other doctors do these days. I recommend him to anyone and everyone, you wont find a doctor or staff like them anywhere else these days. Even if you already have a PCP, i suggest giving him a try even just for a regular check up so you can see first hand what a wonderful individual he really is =D!...you just might end up switching to him.

Overall, it was a very smooth first visit! I look forward to contacting and visiting Dr. Patel for my future medical needs.

This was my first visit to the clinic, which struck me as an old-fashioned doctor's office. The staff was professional. The wait was a bit long, but it sort of went with the old charm of the place. Doctor Patel was very pleasant, quiet, soft-spoken, and informal. Although his examination was short, I felt it was thorough and to the point. He seemed caring without fussing too much, which worked fine for me.

Nice and knowledgeable, I've already recommended him to a friend in Virginia who has never found a doctor around her that she likes.

Dr. Patel was wonderful, the entire office was friendly and easy to get through the new patient paperwork. There was a bit of a wait -but it's also cold season, so it was manageable. I would definitely recommend him to friends as well as go back myself!

Very professional. My wait consisted of the time it took me to fill out new patient paperwork. He was very efficient, and I would definitely recommend.

This was my first visit with Dr. Patel. It was very professional and his staff was great. I did not have much face time with Dr. Patel, however I recieved the attention I needed for my visit and feel good about the visit.

I was impressed by how prompt he was, particularly since I'm a new patient and needed to fill out a lot of paperwork. He is very nice, though softspoken and his staff is extremely helpful. Ellen was terrific in sorting out insurance issues.
