Dr Patel is a great example of what a physician should be, he is patient and takes his time to find out why his patient needs. His office staff is polite and knowledgeable. I would recommend this office to anyone if the other physicians in this office or anything like the example that Dr. Patel sets then it makes going to the doctor so much easier for older patients.
