“That was single handily the best doctor experience I’ve ever had in my entire life. He was absolutely incredible and the first person who actually listened to me in the office. I’ve never had anyone treat me like that and be there for me when I was going through so much. He was so good at listening and treated me like an actual human being. He takes a different approach to his way of being with his patients and will now be the only person I ever go visit for anything medically related.”

About Dr. Vikash Patel

My experiences thus far have taught me that the best approach to an individual's health is best achieved by understanding the patient. Taking the time to know their strengths, limitations, goals and level of commitment provides the groundwork on which to build a joint coalition to guide a patient through their healthcare journey. I also hope to cultivate an environment where patients can comfortably voice their queries and differing opinions without reluctance which empowers them to be the primary drivers of their health plan. My experiences thus far have afforded me the knowledge to manage a wide spectrum of chronic diseases (diabetes, hypertension etc) but my preference is to focus on prevention of such conditions. How I stay healthy and happy Rowing, weight lifting, any sports along with spending time with family which is where I draw most of my strength. If you are unable to attend your upcoming appointment, please cancel at least 24 hours in advance through Zocdoc or the One Medical App. Your timely notification allows us to offer this vital appointment slot to other patients in need of care. Please note that failure to show up for your appointment may result in a cancellation fee. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in helping us serve our community effectively.
