Less than 1 year agoTabitha A.Verified patient
The office is clean but in comparison to other offices, it’s not very modern. Also, the follow up communication needs improvement. It took a week to get someone to explain my lab results which was nerve wracking. Overall, I’m probably going to start looking for a new pcp and an office that has more things in house.
August 6, 2025Sheena W.Verified patient
Omg, this was my first visit and I already want to go back! The doctor was super knowledgeable, explained everything in a way that made sense, and didn’t rush at all. I felt totally comfortable the whole time. I appreciated the knowledge shared !! Overall, I felt comfortable and well cared for. Such a great experience!

I took a tele appointment to follow up on my bloodwork. Appointment was conducted on time. My provider and I discussed several issues and came up with a plan to address each one. Very satisfied with the tele appointment and my healthcare provider.

The provider was pleasant attentive and knowledgeable. Took the time to listen to me and gave appropriate instructions and referral to further treat my symptoms.

If you need a PCP that cares. Look no further than Akruti Patel of St Peter’s. She is outstanding. Listening to your issues and discussing cause and solutions. No rush. Makes you feel very comfortable.
July 12, 2024Susy B.Verified patient
I had blood work done. The practioner called to give me results while I was at work, when I called her back, I left messages but could not reach her after calling back several times. Finally, the results of my blood work were mailed to me leaving me to try to interpret them myself. I have had to try to figure out what the results mean on my own and that is not a good thing nor is it what I would expect from a physical done by a professional. Busy or not, follow-up should be priority.
March 18, 2024Pamela W.Verified patient
NP Patel went above and beyond to ensure my father, who was recently discharged from an acute rehab facility, was treated respectfully and thoroughly. We were very thankful for such great service - she surpassed our expectations. Additionally there was another professional who was fantastic as well. Did not catch her name. The front desk lady was also phenomenal.
