Biren G Patel's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Patel's office requested a follow up visit for my mother. My first experience with this doctor and he literally acted like why were we there as if we were bothering him. Since we were there I asked if he could do a urine on my mother as she appeared to have a horrible urinary infection. His response was she is old and there is part of the "deterioration" process. He never examined her or even spoke to her. I again argued this was not her norm. He flat our refused the test or treatment. We ended up calling the home health nurse the next morning. She took one look at her and instructed to go to the ER immediately. She ended up being held over night it was so bad. This doctor is suppose to specialize in this and was apparent to every one but him.

I recently had a lithotripsy that was complicated due to the size of one of the stones. Dr Patel could not have been more professional and courteous. Yes, he tells it like it is, no sugar coating. Other people may find this as rude, but I find it refreshing. From the first visit to the last where he removed my stent was nothing but marvelous. If you want your hand held and whisper sweet nothings, save that for your partner. If you want extremely competent care, see Dr Patel!

Dr Patel is very personable, professional and friendly.

I’ve only actually met with Dr. Patel twice. The other times have been with his PA. Dr. Patel seems nice and informative. His PA on the other hand is rude and uninformed. Everything is the patient’s fault with her. In this particular instance she claims that their office is unable to request medical records from ANYONE because they are not my PCP. So I have to drive across town to physically obtain the records and hand deliver them to her. Upon speaking with the medical records dept. I was told that she is sorely mistaken and they are more than capable of requesting the records. She either doesn’t have all the information or she is too lazy to do the work. From here on out I will be scheduling my appts. with the doctor, not the PA.

NO STARS. It was my first visit. First impressions n last. I was kicked out of his ofc becuz his physicians assistant rude manner n rapid shooting questions didn't permit her pause to prove she was human. Nicole was indifferent n rude she wasn't focused it's called rudeness when I mentioned my grandmother had just died n made no comment just moved on. All she said was"that is not relevant to this appt"?! So cold blooded. No condolences no I'm sorry to hear now let's move on. Instead of choosing to help me Nicole left room went to talk to Dr Patel n came back to tell me I wud not be seen today. At first I thot they just meant today but then she said Dr wud not be establishing me as a patient n that was upsetting so I asked why not ? And then Dr barged in n said to get out of his ofc and don't come back!? Beligerant n unreasonable in front of his staff Patel caused a scene. Both seemed happy to cause me more grief. So i left. He did me a favor. Glad I know who they really are.

Don't expect the office staff to get back to you at all. I am a nurse trying to help a patient get his prescriptions in order and have reached out via phone and via fax to this office multiple times. When I finally received a call back from the PA Nicole Villa. She was extremely rude and conflicting information was given. Would not recommend this to anyone who wants to have a good communication line open with their doctor.

Competent but is your typical "fast food" type practitioner. Do not expect individualized care. Once a program is prescribed, it will be the standard despite degradation or changes in patient's condition. Does not even ask about changes in health at an annual check up. If you are looking for long term care, go somewhere else.

I have been a patient of Dr. Biren Patel for many years. He has performed several procedures/surgeries with the utmost care, professionalism, meaningful follow-up and he is very thorough in his explanations, offers alternatives (if avaiable), answers any and all questions in an understandable fashion. Additionally, he has a good sense of humor! I have the utmost respect for and confidence in Dr. Patel. He exemplifies professionalism and truly cares about his patients!

I've had 3 surgical procedures preformed by Dr Patel. He's always professional and an exceptional surgeon.
