I'm a 19 year old college student and was very nervous upon arriving at my appointment for a routine gynecological exam. Dr. Patel did absolutely nothing to ease my fears and was extremely cold and difficult to talk to. She made me feel insecure and judged and during the exam, made a comment about self harm scars on my stomach. Not only was this extremely inappropriate but it was very upsetting to me and I ended up leaving the office in tears. I would definitely not recommend Dr. Patel.

I have always found this practice's billing practices appallingly irresponsible. You're going to have to stand up for yourself a lot. The new staff's competence is in question due to lack of all bedside manner.

I have been bringing my now 16 yo daughter to see Dr. Patel for 2 years now. I will not be bringing her back to her again! This past appointment I was horrified by the things coming out of her mouth to a vulnerable 16 yo girl who already suffers with self-esteem issues, especially related to her body! She has no bedside manner, she was rude and dismissed all the important issues we needed to discuss regarding my daughter's health issues, instead spent 20 minutes berating her for her weight!

Arguably the worst provider I have ever interacted with. I was experiencing severe pain from rupturing ovarian cysts and other issues due to a hormonal method of birth control. Meanwhile, she was accusatory and rude throughout the entire visit. Despite her blatant affinity for hormonal birth control methods, I had the device removed and felt better within a few weeks (no more reoccurring cysts either). She has no bed-side manners whatsoever and is extremely condescending and unpleasant. Awful.

I would definitely would NOT recommend this nurse practioner to anybody looking to be treated in a professional manner! Had an appointment today with Karen and was treated in a most highly unprofessional manner. She offered her opinions on subjects that were not related to our visit. These comments were insulting, rude, and offensive. I have been a patient of hers for several years but was shocked by her unsolicited advice. Do yourself a favor and steer clear.

Dr. Patel advised me I needed a biopsy which I advised her that I already had done a few months prior. She said it had to be done within 6 months of a procedure and it was not in my records. So she did another one. When she called me to give me the results prior to surgery she said not enough tissue was taken and the results were inconclusive she'd take another biopsy during the procedure. I demanded she check my records again and she found I did have a biopsy prior as I stated. Very upsetting!

This doctor has ZERO bedside manner and is SO rude. She is one of the reasons I am leaving the practice. When I was pregnant she told me I was gaining to much weight. Then grabbed my arm and said where else is it going to go when it doesnt go to your belly. I gained 25 pounds...25!! My entire pregnancy. I dont think that is too much! I also had many problems once I gave birth and ended up spending an extra few days in the hospital. She showed no care in the world and was RUDE!

When I made an appointment to see her for a condition she was belittling me and gave me a anatomy quiz which was so humiliating. I was so upset when I left the practice.

While Dr. Patel is very knowledgeable, she doesn't have (as of yet?) the needed maturity of critical 'bed-side manners'.
