The doctor was amazing. He was thorough, seemed engaged, listened to me, and asked pertinent questions related to my health history.
My only issue was I had to wait about 12-13 minutes past my appointment time for the telemed visit.

The Doctor was quite professional, including providing strong advice and feedback on ways to achieve a healthier lifestye. Great job!
February 18, 2026Brian G.Verified patientVideo visit
I would most definitely recommend Dr. Patel. He is so tentative, a great listener and he explains exactly the treatment that the patient is being treated for. When I first begin my appt with him I was in another Doctor office he did not rush to get off the phone he assured me to go on with that visit and he would call me back and he did absolutely that, I have never had this experience with another Doctor. I am looking forward to my treatment plan with Dr Patel... Dr. Patel ROCKS

I had a great experience and learned a lot of things I didn’t know. At 56 years old I’m still learning. Dr. Patel explained what happens as we get older regarding nutrition.
I believe that I have found someone who can provide me help and motivation with my health issues.
Thank you Dr. Patel

Dr. Patel was a clear communicator, good listener, and thorough with his assessment of my medical history. He used this data to recommend a good treatment option and set my mind at ease that he would fight for me with my insurance company. This was very comforting.

January 12, 2026Quanda Y.Verified patientVideo visit
I just think Dr. Patel is fabulous He is kind and sweet and listens. I appreciate that he listens and gives clear advice. As an older, vintage lady that has struggled the last 30 years with my weight going up and down I appreciate that there is no judgement, just reassurance. I am working on the hardest weight, last 25 lbs and so it's nice not being told my bmi isn't high enough or some other reason. At my age, I'm so happy to find a supportive doctor who knows it's not so easy these days. Thank you Dr. Patel
