Dr. Patel is always friendly and listens to all my questions and concerns. When he looks at myChart and my numbers, he makes a knowledgeable assement of what I need to come off of or what I need to stay on. I appreciate the fact that he hears me when I say I feel a certain way and I am wondering if it is a particular drug that is causing me problems. He is a very personable doctor and easy to talk to. I give him a 10 out of 10.
