Patel Vijay MD

Had a rather unpleasant experience here. They aren't particularly quick to respond to you if you call or email. Also, they have over committed in terms of their patient load and you will be waiting for a very long time to see the doctor. If you think your time is important, Patel will make sure you understand it is not as important as his (in a rather rude manner). It’s quite mind boggling how health care providers don’t understand the concept of customer service in world where service is the one area which can set you apart as a provider. On a positive note, Vijay’s support staff is very good - they are doing their best considering their workload. more

Dr. Patel is a ray of sunlight in contrast to the murky gloom of uncaring, unconcerned and all too often uneducated healthcare providers that seem to be the norm these days. I knew he was different when he interrupted my low expectations and said simply, ""fatigue and discomfort is your body's way of letting us know something is not right, you should never ignore that message."" I was so surprised that I was speechless for a minute. I had seen several ""specialists"" prior to him that I was really skeptical that he would actually find something wrong and be able to treat it. He found it in the second visit. Dr. Patel is a miracle and when I think about how four of the physicians I saw before him ""listened"" to me for about 5 seconds before trying to push an antidepressant on me, I feel really luck to have found Dr. Patel. I haven't felt this good since I was in high school. I just wish I could clone him and get rid of all the dead weight passing for medical staff out there! more

I chose Dr. Patel because he had the same name as my Doctor in Atlanta( tried asking family and friends for referrals but resulted in bad experiences) .......I had to think of a creative method to assist me with the search to find a new medical provider. Amazingly enough this method worked for me. Dr. Patel is genuine and sincere but more importantly he truly cares about his patients. I feel so comfotable communicating with him about my medical issues. I trust him so much that I remained a patient even after relocating an hour away. Additionally, I recommended him to my 80 yo mother who is equally pleased with his professionalism, bedside manner, and knowlege. She trusts him so much that she also drives an hour for services. Thanks Dr .Patel and your awesome staff for all that you do!!!! Pros: Great communicator, humility, knowledgeable....DEDICATED Cons: There are not enough like him practicing medicine more

The ""excellent"" kudos from the previous comment says everything. I first met Dr. Patel when he was with a group of medical Dr's. That was over 10 years ago. I was elated that he was going into private practice because it allows him to give his patients the time he feels necessary. With a smile, concern and ability to expand on his medical practice. Pros: Personal one on one care almost doesn't exist in medicine more

Dr. Patel is a rarity, as he makes you feel as though he really cares about you. He is patient, calm, and takes the time to explain any ailments in plain English. In other offices, I felt as though the doctor only wanted me to spend a few minutes in his or her presence, write me a prescription, and send me on my way. Dr. Patel is cut from a different cloth entirely. When he prescribed medication, he actually took the time to tell me how the medication works. If you are looking for a physician who will take the time to properly diagnose you and help you understand your body, then Dr. Patel is the one for you. Pros: Bedside manner, attention to detail, and genuine care for the patient more

Takes the time, makes the extra effort, friendly staff. Open very early in the AM. I have found it very hard to find the ol'timey sort of doctor that actually takes time with their patients, The triangle has grown impersonal in its healthcare services. Finally, a good family doc with a great network of specialists. Pros: easy to find, ample parking, great knowledgeable staff Cons: he spends a lot of time with each patient so waiting is normal more
