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.

Best Nephrology Specialist in Tennessee
Dr. Patel is an awesome doctor. Visits are not rushed. He goes over the results of my blood tests with me and explains what each number is and what it means. He reviews all my meds and he approves or stops some meds if they are damaging to kidneys. I have had a couple meds that he stopped and a couple of supplements too. He is so very smart! He's professional but also personable. I really like him and I feel very confident in my care with him at the helm. I would highly recommend Dr. Patel!

Dr. Patel was a breath of fresh air. The fact that he recommended a new non-invasive procedure really made my day, especially after years of foot pain.
