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.

Very knowledgeable doctor
The staff was friendly and the doctor was knowledgeable and thorough, listened to me attentively. I would definitely recommend this doctor and their practice to others.

Worst doctor I’ve ever seen. Tone deaf and rude!
Awful. More concerned about how good personal insurance was instead of addressing the fact that the appt. was specifically to treat a medical problem in office. She is full of herself and then called me at the end of the day to say, she could of done procedure after all. What a horrible way to treat someone in pain!

Gastro doctor, billing issues & overall assessment
I have a few concerns about Patel’s and Genesis office & billing communication. Procedural skill I can’t offer much of an opinion on, however when a clinician is literally a conversational minimalist, it almost always smacks of not being as competent as better informers. Very brief meeting post-endoscopy. I was essentially only told to double up on proton pump inhibs. I recall no discussion of the already problematic side effects with PPIs, nor a warning about top med school findings showing a significantly heightened risk for dementia in older (such as mine) populations. Dementia article found after my last appt.Addl’y., the report was probably the briefest I have ever received from a doctor. A few sentences that noted very little and no real advice, thus an area suggested for improvement. Maybe I met with her on a bad day in her life, yet the overall experience should be more beneficial. Office & billing staff gave us an unexpected & sizable charge; eventually worked out.
