I had an exceptional experience during my recent visit to the doctor. From the moment I walked in, the entire team demonstrated professionalism, compassion, and efficiency. The front desk staff were warm and welcoming, making the check-in process smooth and stress-free.
The nurse was kind, attentive, and made sure I was comfortable throughout. The doctor was truly outstanding—thorough in their examination, clear in communication, and genuinely cared about my well-being. They took the time to listen to my concerns, explain everything in detail, and never made me feel rushed.
It’s rare to find a medical team that combines such a high level of expertise with empathy and respect. I left feeling confident, heard, and well taken care of. I would highly recommend this Podiatric to anyone seeking quality healthcare.

July 15, 2025Kevin L.Verified patient
I didn’t end up seeing this provider due to me refusing to sign off on paperwork that had nothing to do with standard care practices. My star rating was based on my interaction with the receptionist who was nice.

Great experience. Thank you!
August 9, 2024Jessica W.Verified patient
I'm so glad I found Dr Patel! I've seen two other podiatrists but was not happy with the level of care I was receiving. I wanted a doctor who was going to help me heal and not just numb my symptoms. Dr Patel was very kind, patient and thorough. He explained the more modern techniques that he uses, which is exactly what I've been looking for. I feel so relieved and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of a great podiatrist!
January 11, 2024Nancy Faith A.Verified patient
Dr. Patel saw me right away for a sprained ankle and was super courteous kind and helpful. I had such a thorough appointment he talked me through how a sprain happens, what the treatment options are and what I could do to alleviate pain/swelling. I was really happy with how the appointment went and I’m grateful!! Highly recommend seeing Dr. Patel he’s really great!!

Dr. Patel is an exceptional doctor. He has great bedside manner and shows genuine care in helping you heal. I have seen many doctors for the same issue and none of them have provided me with such a well rounded initial visit.
The receptionist was kind and there was no wait time.
I would recommend him to anyone seeking a podiatrist in the NYC area.

I arrived a little early to fill out paperwork and I was taken into an exam room before my scheduled appointment. The doctor was friendly and explained the injury and treatment very clearly.

February 11, 2020Anuja M.Verified patient
Had such a great appointment! I went in for what I thought was a wart that turned out to be something totally different. Dr. Patel was highly thorough and detailed - I learned so much about my feet beyond what I thought was a wart. Can't recommend enough!
