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.

Had two procedures with Dr Patel and highly recomm
I saw Dr Patel 11 years apart for two procedures. Was out of area for and used a different doctor for one procedure in the middle years. There was no comparison to the comfort, professionalism, and efficiency that I received. I highly recommend Dr Patel without reservation. Most people are sedated during these procedures, but I refuse the sedation, so I speak with conscious awareness. Thank you, Dr. Patel.

Exceptional First Visit
I’m the type that hates going to see the doctor but I just switch health plans and he was assigned my colonoscopy which I’ve been putting off for years (don’t do this). Dr Patel has EXCELLENT bedside manners. He’s polite, patient and understanding. He explains everything plainly and takes his time to make sure you understand.

Exceptional with and Outstanding Staff
Dr. Samir Patel is an EXCEPTIONAL doctor who exhibits impeccable bedside manners! He is very smart, passionate about his patients, and he doesn’t talk down to people. He explains things in a very concise manner. He is direct but in a respectful way. I have been his patient since 2014. When I first saw him, I was very nervous as I was experiencing some colon issues. He held my hand prior to me receiving anesthesia and made me feel at ease. I had the colonoscopy without any complications. Today, 5/18/2022, I had my routine colonoscopy. Nothing has changed about Dr. Patel. He is still a wonderful doctor! A few things that are really impressive are his staff, each time I visit him my husband is with me and Dr. Patel never treats him as if he is a fixture in the room, he talks to both of us, and he answers any questions my husband has, after the procedure he always give me my medical report with photos, and he has a sense of humor. If I could give him 100 stars I would.
