April 18, 2016Tina M.Verified patient
This was my first visit with Dr Patel. She was willing to listen to my problems, offer her suggestions, and look through my past records that I was carrying with me. She was confident, with just the right amount of personal touch, but very professional at the same time. She talks super fast, but was never impatient. The medical and other support staff were friendly. With all the first time patient paper work, medical exams, lab work, I was out of there in under 90 mins. I don't remember waiting for more than 15 mins. In short, a very satisfactory first visit.

My visit was great ... Dr. Shamim makes you feel very comfortable.
Answered all my questions. She asked a lot about my medical history... It seams that she really cares about you.

Dr. Patel was so professional and efficient while treating me (without seeming stand-offish or as though she was trying to push me through). She really dedicated herself to helping me solve my issues.

I love Dr. Patel. The only thing I don't love is the wait time at her office. Several times, I've waited over an hour from checking in with the receptionist until actually seeing Dr. Patel in an exam room. Other than that, I'm super happy with her.

Dr. Patel has been my doctor for 11 years. I will not see anybody else. I have recommended her many times to friends and family. Everyone is happy with Dr. Patel. She a wonderful and educated, caring doctor.
October 23, 2015Mary S.Verified patient
Dr. Patel is a thorough professional. She made my pregnancy easy and uncomplicated. She takes a very cautious approach which helps eliminate all possible doubts n concerns. Overall she is an extremely positive person and she passes that positivity to her patients. She completely understands a professional woman's lifestyle and guides the pregnancy by providing most practical simple solutions and avoids the over kill. She does not fuss over pregnancy symptoms and tats what I love about her!!!

I don't want to go to this doctor then my PCP force me and say very high words. I made an appointment went to see her. it was beyond my expectation she listen to me carefully and very attentively. Checked me properly and take her sweet time to diagnose the whole problem and until I am satisfied she did not leave.
Best gyne doctor I ever met. I can give her 10 stars.....
July 14, 2015Zeeshan M.Verified patient
With the horribly unethical and unprofessional things that have happened since that appointment and to this day I find it difficult but I will try to stick strictly with reviewing the appointment. The total time for the appointment was over 3 hours from arrival (on time) until I left. The time I spent talking with the doctor was filled with repetitive bragging about her education from high school and throughout her career. While those things do hold importance, I also like to feel like I can trust a doctor. I felt as if I was not truly being listened to because she just knew everything and disregarded what I was personally experiencing. She also did not ask questions that I felt were important to be asked about my pregnancy, it was as if she just did not care and wanted to get the bare minimum out of the way. She is very good on paper but I had decided to get another doctor before the appointment even ended. On a positive note, the doctor's office was clean and the reception desk and nurses were friendly. I hate to be the ONE to leave a negative review but this is how it was for me.

Dr. Patel was awesome! She took the time to listen to all my concerns and was very informative and knowledgable. Also she was quite funny and easy to talk to! Her office staff was pleasurable as well. I waited for a bit in true waiting room but I think for the quality of care I received, it was worth it.

October 18, 2014Maja I.Verified patient
She was very personable, while still professional. She was quick, thorough, and answered all of my questions. She never made me feel judged about the sensitive things that we discussed, as is a common problem that I've had with doctors in the past.

September 17, 2013Olga S.Verified patient
I travel an hour to see Dr Patel because she is seriously an excellent doctor. I cannot say enough good things about her. She cares about her patients and spends time and is a good listener. She is a good scientist as well and keeps up with the latest developments in the medical literature. I've had several procedures with her, childbirth, pregnancy care, as well as general obgyn care and have never had anything but a great experience.
