  • Reviewed on 6/6/2025

    Dr. Patel was very patient. She took a lot of time with me answering all my questions, also asking a lot of questions to get a fuller understanding of what was going on with me. I felt like she was truly listening, did not feel rushed whatsoever. However, I think that's why I was so late getting in my appointment with her because I think she was spending the same amount of time with the patient before me. So my only frustration was the appointment was late. However, now knowing how much time she spent with me, I can understand why.
