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.

My visit was the most timely, kind, and accommodating doctor's visit I have had. I arrived early, as I am new to this practice, so had all my paperwork in order by the time my name was called - which was actually 10 minutes prior to my scheduled appointment time! Dr Patel is kind, considerate, very reassuring, and attentive. I have complete confidence entrusting my care to him.

I went to Dr. Patel with complaints about a possible hernia at an entry spot from a previous laparoscopy. He had an intern/trainee with him and chuckled, explaining I might need a colonoscopy to check and I don’t want that (I was 22). He then suggested I see a gynecologist because it was probably something female related (it wasn’t). It was a waste of a copay and afternoon to see him as I had to have surgery from a severe hernia a year later. He does NOT take women seriously.

This was my first time with Atlanta Gastroenterology Associates AS WELL AS my first time doing a telemedicine visit. I called early in the morning and their practice was efficient and handled my information + instruction (on using telemedicine and what would occur). I was offered a televisit appointment on the same day I called. I thought the televisit worked well. Dr. Patel logged in on time. He was friendly and I didn’t feel rushed. We went over my history, went over what happened recently. He obviously reviewed my chart information ahead of time. In addition, he listened well. After listening to my questions, it appears that Dr. Patel stays current on the research. He had good answers for my questions. He gave some education + guidance about how to handle what was going on w/me. As a first-time patient to Atlanta Gastroenterology Associates I am pleased with the care I received from the beginning of the ‘new patient’ process to the visit with Dr. Patel.
