Dr. Elbaridi and his staff are top notch! Great service & communication. I was in excruciating pain and they got me in for my procedure a day early. Most importantly, I left out of my appointment pain free & everything was smooth & efficient. I highly recommend Dr. Elbaridi & the Loop Medical Center team!

Dear Dr Elbaridi,
Thank you so much for making our visit to Loop Medical a memorable one. My husband and I visited your office last week for his increasing back pain and we knew after meeting your staff, your work environment was a positive one. When we arrived, staff promptly and warmly greeted us and provided a hassle-free check in process. Your care was exemplary, and my husband is still talking about the wonderful service and competent care he received. We are very confident in your ability to meet his needs and we have not hesitated to recommend you to others.
We would definitely come back.

The doctor was pleasant and patient with me while I administered the test. For some reason the nasal test tickles and I have a hard time staying still. Overall good experience, his office is very new. It was under construction during my visit.

I logged into the patient portal and I can’t find my results. I call the office almost 10 times straight before 5 PM and nobody answers and the prompts don’t get me anywhere. I have no idea of the test results when I need to take my kids to camp tomorrow. Thanks for nothing

Dr. Patel is one of the best doctors I have encountered. He has excellent bedside manner and took the time to sit with me and explain my pain condition in great detail. He also reviewed the procedure step by step and answered all of my questions thoroughly. I was quite nervous before meeting him, but he eased my concerns and made me feel comfortable. I would highly recommend him to my family and friends.
JPVerified patient
Dr. Neil Patel listened carefully to my issues and informed me about the procedure very well. He has very good bedside manner, I’m usually very nervous but he calmed me. He even showed me what he was doing on skeleton model and also showed me post injection Xray pictures. His staff is very professional and courteous as well. I recommend him and this practice to everyone.
HSVerified patient
My visit with Dr. Neil Patel was excellent. He provided really good care and helped me with my pain. He explained the whole process before starting and was very thorough with his work.
MKVerified patient
Dr. Patel was very kind and patient with me! As someone with chronic back pain and poor posture, he put me at ease with understanding what options I have to treat my pain. The entire team at Loop Medical Center was so kind and helpful and I’m already feeling so much better after my first treatment!
