"It was my first time meeting Dr. Patel before my surgery. He took the time to go over the procedure and possible complications and answered all of my questions. The appointment wasn’t rushed at all and I feel like he really listened and heard what I was saying about my concerns and made me feel at ease. The entire office staff was friendly and helpful, and I recommend Dr. Patel and his office for your G.I. needs."

He spoke clearly, making sure I understood. He reiterated what the plan of action was, making sure I got it. I can’t praise my experience highly enough."

"Very organized office making scheduling and billing pretty hassle free. Dr. Patel is very personable, well educated and experienced. He listens and seemed to want to gather a fair amount of information. He also accessed lots of past medical records using the electronic medical records from 3 different providers. So, for me, he is the right mix of friendly and communicative we well as tech savvy. Both the in office visit and out patient procedure were good experiences. Everything runs on time but they expect you to do your part to help make things run smoothly so follow their instructions and you won't have mishaps."
