The NP Khristen Patel was very kind, knowledgeable and compassionate. Appointment was for my son but she allowed me to be inside the room and discuss his issues and my concerns so I’m so glad she was willing to listen to me as well and understood my point of view as a mother. We were able to do blood work and get medication prescribed so I couldn’t be happier about our experience. I will recommend this practice to my family and friends, thank you!
Verified patient

I had the best experience I’ve ever had with a doctor. I have a lot of medical anxiety and I felt instantly comforted and cared for. Krishna listened to all of my concerns and provided solutions for everything in a super easy to understand manner. I love this doctor’s office!
Verified patient
She was outstanding!!! She was very attentive and knowledgeable. Plus she was personable, she didn’t just look down at her computer the whole time plugging away. Great bedside manner, I found my new primary care provider!

I totally recommend Krishna Patel. She took the time to answer my questions. I did not feel rushed. The office looks very clean and well kept. I felt relaxed when I entered into this office. It helps being surrounded by female staff members.

Dr. Patel and the staff were welcoming and friendly. She listened to all my concerns and provided great answers and resources. Absolutely would recommend.
Verified patient
I would NOT go back to this facility. The doctor, Krishna Patel, was wonderful! Her nurse, Lily, on the other hand was not friendly. She took my blood work and I started to pass out. I made her aware that I’m susceptible to passing out before taking my blood and she did not seem to care. I told her I was about to pass out and asked for crackers. She handed me a juice box and said that this would be good enough. She then proceeded to tell me she would be across the hall but would crack the door if I needed anything. I continued to stay in the room for 15 minutes, in and out of consciousness while in a cold sweat. She never came back to check on me. I drove to the facility so I ended up having to sit in my car for another 15 minutes to be able to regain my vision fully back. I hate to write this review because Krishna was great but after that experience I will not be a returning customer.
Listened and acknowledged information provided and gave insightful recommendations, but didn’t overbear my concerns or push me to go a biased method.
Verified patient
Great first impression and went super fast!
Verified patient
A month ago I booked an appointment with Dr. Renata Gazzi-Johnson, but after booking I saw my appointment was with Krishna. The appointment was for pain on my lower right side. She ordered scans and bloodwork. It turned out to be a kidney stone. She was so thorough! After meeting Krishna I knew she was going to be my new primary care doctor. I recently saw her for my annual physical. She is truly a great choice to have as a primary care provider. She gives options and lets you choose what works best for you!
Verified patient
I was called in almost immediately after I turned in my new patient paperwork. I appreciate the online forms so you don’t have so much to fill out upon arrival. I was seen by Krishna Patel MSN, APRN, FNP-BC she was very throughout, yet fast. Very informative too. I didn’t have to wait forever for the MA’s to come in and complete my labs either. No complaints here!
I had an excellent experience with Dr. Patel. Very professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to my needs. Highly recommended!
Verified patient
great doctor
Verified patient
Dr. Patel was nice but everything felt so impersonal and so routine which didn’t help when I already don’t enjoy going to the doctor. I don’t think the nurse ever said “how are you” or anything reassuring/welcoming . she may have been having a hard day which i get but it definitely made me feel like some thing they just poked and probed and got out of their hair.
Amazing service! Went in for flu-like symptoms and the team was efficient and professional. An easy parking lot to park and I booked the day before - great process!
Outstanding Care from Krishna Patel, MSN, APRN, FNP-BC I can't say enough good things about my experience with Krishna Patel! From the moment I walked into the clean, welcoming office, I felt like I was in good hands. Her bedside manner was exceptional—kind, patient, and truly understanding. Unlike other offices where I've felt dismissed or rushed, Krishna Patel took the time to listen to every concern I had. She made sure to ask if there was anything else on my mind, even after I'd already mentioned quite a few issues. What really stood out was how thorough she was with my blood work. Not only did she run all the necessary tests, but she also didn't hesitate to order the ones I requested, ensuring nothing was overlooked. The front desk staff was also a pleasant surprise friendly, helpful, and far from the frustrating experiences I've had at other clinics. I highly recommend this practice, especially if you've dealt with doctors in the past who seem to disregard your concerns.

Would recommend!
Dr. Patel and the Innovative Care staff were very friendly and professional. If you're looking for a primary that takes Aetna, Dr. Patel at Innovative is a great option. This is the third primary doctor I've seen in the last year and Dr. Patel is the first one that I felt took me seriously. Very respectful doctor. I visited for a check-up, was called up in 5-10 minutes. I was weighed and had my vitals taken. I then waited another 5-10 minutes before meeting Dr. Patel. Without feeling rushed, we discussed my health background and reason for visiting. Her assistant then gave me a flu shot and took a blood sample. My results were available 24 hours later. The patient room was clean and the lobby had a stocked mini-fridge and coffee station. The receptionists check you in and have you file any forms needed as you wait to be called. This location has secure bike parking with a bike post is immediately across from the lobby. Rating: 4 / 5 - Decent for general purposes.
Verified patient
The cleanliness and welcoming atmosphere stood out during my visit. There was not much diversity, but this is America. I do not mind who sees me for my visit. Nevertheless, if a nurse practitioner is going to see me, they should not say a doctor will because that is considered a poor advertisement.
Verified patient
Very helpful! Great clinic!
Verified patient
It was good overall
Verified patient
As someone with a lot of anxiety when it comes to doctors, coming into a place with such friendly staff is such a relief. The wait time was minimal both in the waiting room and when switching off between nurse and pcp. I’m looking forward to my next visit!
