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.

Intelligent, efficient, and knowledgeable-- Dr. Patel is a great professional.

Dr.Patel has been fantastic with my treatment. Excellent care both pre and post surgery. Wonderful sense of humor as well, really comforting during these difficult times. I highly recommend him for any foot related issues. As for the staff- excellent customer service. I have been going for a few months now due to my Achilles injury and every visit I am treated with outstanding care. Wonderful facility!

As someone else noted: watch out for fast hard sell for the shoe insert. Went for foot pain. Patel prescribed orthotics. Had the bottom of my feet scanned by an uninterested tech using some kind of "scanner" on wheels. Weeks later received what were essentially stiffer versions of Dr. Scholes inserts. Made no real difference. Customer cost: $450.

Not good. Although everyone at the office was friendly and the waiting time appropriate, I did not get real help with my foot problem. Dr. Patel recommended unnecessary foot surgery, waaay too expensive insoles that I have to pay off now and that did not give me any relief. 2 other doctors confirmed that my feet are fine and that I do not need any surgery. They solved my problem inexpensively with just adding a pad to my old insole for pressure relief and Arnica gel. Glad I got the 2nd opinion!

Dr. Patel is a very good doctor with tons of experience. I went into surgery after two weeks of first seeing him. He got all of my insurance and everything approved. His office is very professional and prompt. No issues at all. Five stars all the way!!!
