The patient rating score is an average of all responses on our patient experience survey. The rating averages scores for all questions about care from our providers. The scale on which responses are measured is 1 to 5 with 5 being the best score.
Patient comments are gathered from our patient experience survey and displayed in their entirety. For the convenience of our visitors, some patient comments have been translated from their original language into English while preserving their original meaning as accurately as possible. Patients are de-identified for confidentiality and patient privacy.

Good listener
Dr. Patel was very informative and explained everything in a manner that was easy to understand.
Dr. Patel gave excellent advice, listened well to me all without making me feel rushed.
Dr. Patel always takes time to listen and is so kind and caring. I am very blessed to have him as my doctor. Thank you, Dr.Patel!
Thank you Dr. Patel, for your positive outlook, and assuring me my procedure is not as complicated as I thought.
Dr Patel knows his ears. Very helpful
Dr P Ariel is very knowledgeable and listened well to my questions and concerns
Very kind and knowledgeable. His explanation of the medical problem was very clear. He listened and answered all of our questions and was very helpful to make sure our hometown hospital could facilitate the care we needed.
I've been seeing Dr Patel for years and he is never in a hurry and explains things so well. When I'm finished with visits, my fears and anxieties are put to rest. Thank him.
Excellent physician!
