Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

I have been seeing Dr Patel for years now and she has helped me through a lot of difficult times. She’s very patient and caring and has great insight into difficulties that I have faced and overcoming these obstacles. She is a great doctor!

Absolutely wretched. She has no desire to help anyone's except prescribed meds. I have ten years clean and she would incessantly try to prescribe me suboxone, charged me for a no show when I received no confirmation call- her equally unempathetic reception Gretchen, declared it was an courtesy. So sorry but an appointment regarding quality of life is a courtesy? She had zero interest in wanting to hear my side of the story. Awful doctor

Absolutely incompetent, unintelligent and uninterested. If I could give zero stars, I would.

Dr. Patel seems to take no actual interest in her patients well-being and comes off really disingenuous in conversation. I would not recommend unless you can handle serious awkwardness and inconsequential interaction.

Dr Patel has been empathetic and attentive to my needs as a patient who suffers from mental illness. I have been a patient for a few months now and have no issues or complaints thus far.

I would definitely not recommend her to others. Lack of empathy; seems bored and disinterested. Completely unhelpful. And why not mention; comes across as arrogant.
