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.

Attentive and caring
I was referred to aDr. Patel, with chronic shoulder and neck pain, that was supposed to be gone after a cervical fusion. He was very attentive and listened to my concerns. He evaluated me carefully to provide the appropriate treatment. I highly recommend him!

Amazing
I ended up seeing Dr. Patel for injections after herniating my L5-S1. He was so kind and compassionate. He was straight forward and explained everything thoroughly. I am a healthcare provider and trusted him fully. Great doctor!!!

The very best
I have been a patient of Dr Udit Patel since he and Dr Sharma established their practice. He has saved me from what would have been wheelchair bound back surgery, just with RFA!! He is incredibly thorough, very personable, always learning something new, I just can’t say enough about him and his nurse, De. They have become family, my mother would now not be walking without him, no surgery involved, nor pain meds. I recommend him to everyone, I could go on and on. Trust me, if you go to him, you will, too!

Highly recommend Dr. Patel for your pain management! He has gone above and beyond to get to the root cause of my pain even beyond the imaging & reports. He is extremely efficient and quick to give me back and improve my quality of life. Never rushed and answers all questions. He definitely cares for his patients.

Dr. Udit Patel is a phenomenal doctor. He’s been treating my neck since my car injury and has even given me injections which I was scared to get them at first but with his experience and knowledge I felt more calm and relaxed and now my neck is feeling better. I highly Recommend Dr.Patel and his office. Great staff and nurses.

Excellent, I was not a fan of injection. I wanted to accomplish my goal through physical therapy. After a few months and a flair up I went to Dr. Patel for injection. Much to my surprise the injections worked. My pain is manageable and I can now go back to physical therapy. Thank you Dr Patel for your patience and understanding of my apprehension. I now understand the benefit of injection. Mentally and physically I am ready to be as active as I can. Thank you I feel blessed to have met this wonderful doctor.

I've been going to see dr patel since 2013. He has always been kind and very laid back. But I recently had an insurance change of which I spoke to him personally about. He sent me to pt, and told me to schedule another follow up, and suggested I apply for social security. I live 40 minutes away and drove out there just to be told sorry Unless you pay 200 dollars he won't see you. I've never had an outstanding balance with them. And I felt very humiliated after that. Fyi it's all about money

Great Doctor! He is the kind of guy that will use every treatment need to get better without the need for invasive surgery. I always consider surgery a last resort.

Dr. Patel is patient and determined to relieve the pain and suffering of the people he treats. It is a relief to know he takes your pain seriously no matter whether it is a 2 or an 8. I will see him again when my chronic back pain flares up again.

It is with pleasure that I am commending Dr Udit Patel,Joliet. I am 64 years young & I say young, because that is how Dr. Patel has helped. Since childhood, I have had migraine headaches. Missed work, important occasions,relationships ruined. 48 years passed seeing specialists in Chicago, suburbs and different states.World re-knowned Doctor/headache treatments,medications,procedures,experimental management and more were conducted over this vast range of time. Dr. PATEL suggested a treatment.TY!

I have been seeing Dr. Patel for about 6 years. He is truly interested in your pain and how he can help. I have never felt rushed. He is not one to over prescribe I want the least amount of medication so I can function. Yes they drug test the state requires it. Dr. Udit Patel is a very caring Doctor and I wouldn't go anywhere else.
