Reviews
"Dr. Patel is patient, kind and knowledgeable. For years, I have been given prescriptions that I couldn't afford. He was the first one that every politely asked if i could afford my medicine before giving me a prescription. He gave me an application for the Trillium Drug Plan and a few months of samples. He also explained that much of what was prescribed for me in the past had only potential long term benefits and encouraged me to make choices that made me feel better today. I didn't feel he pushed drugs like my family doctor. He encouraged me to save $50 a month on pills and buy a pedometer for $20. I lost 20 pounds in the next 6 months and my cough and shortness of breath improved and the side effects from the medications he stopped went away! I feel much better. He was humble..."you did all the work, I just kept you entertained...". THANK YOU for your support"
"Dr. Patel is a fantastic physician. Anyone would be lucky to be referred to him. He knows his profession inside out, pays extreme attention to both detail & patient questions."
"I have been under Dr. Patel's care for over two years. It was pure luck that I was referred to him (a nurse) and I have thanked my lucky stars over and over. I was very sick at my first visit and he spent a lot of time getting to know me and what had transpired before. Once he took his position it was full speed ahead - lots of tests and lots of support. He treats his staff with respect as well as his patients. We are still working on the disease and he makes sure all the bases are covered. Because of my situation he referred to a heart specialist and a hearing specialist mostly to gain a base line as both of these aliments could have an impact on me. Thanks Dr Patel you are a winner and keep up the good work."
"My father has been seeing him for 8 months now. He has been very helpful with my dad's medical condition. We have never felt rushed with his appointments. Explains everything to us so we understand. He has always been very kind to us. Great doctor!!"
"Took time to explain my disease even though the prognosis is poor, he allowed me to prepare for the future."
