Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I had an appointment with Dr. Patel in September 2020. Since Covid was pretty rampant, masks were mandatory. He walked into the room and with his back to me, he starts talking. Didn't introduce himself. I asked if he was Dr. Patel and I got this look. Sorry, but if you are going to be 2" from my masked face, please have the courtesy to introduce yourself. He wasn't thrilled when I asked how many procedures he's done and how long in practice. Didn't really answer my questions, but was very anxious for me to book a surgical appointment. He said his procedures were in a medical spa environment. A 1 star rating for him is generous. I called for a referral for doctors at UCSD at the Shiley Institute. No comparison to the doctors at Shiley. The care and quality at UCSD and Shiley is excellent. My surgeon is one of the finest in California.

I am an optometrist. I just examined one of Dr Patel’s post cataract surgery patients. Worst outcome I’ve seen in 30 years. Terrible!
