Review Summary
Based on the reviews provided, it's clear that experiences with Dr. Patel and the associated practice vary significantly from patient to patient. Here is a summary of the feedback: ### Positive Aspects: 1. **Professionalism and Knowledgeability**: Several patients praised Dr. Patel for his professionalism, knowledge, and friendliness. They appreciated his ability to explain medical conditions clearly and make them feel comfortable during procedures. 2. **Friendly and Supportive Staff**: Many reviews highlighted the courtesy and efficiency of the staff, noting that they were supportive and helpful. 3. **Efficient Experience**: Some patients appreciated the minimal wait times and the welcoming atmosphere. ### Negative Aspects: 1. **Communication Issues**: A number of negative reviews focused on poor communication, both in-person and through administrative interactions. Specific complaints were made about not getting follow-ups and dismissive attitudes from staff. 2. **Billing Concerns**: Several patients reported issues with billing, including unexplained charges, mishandling of insurance, and challenges in communicating with the billing department. 3. **Dismissive Medical Care**: A significant concern was raised regarding dismissive care from Dr. Patel, particularly in a case involving a misdiagnosis, where a patient's serious condition was initially brushed off as weight gain. 4. **Appointment Scheduling Challenges**: Some patients faced difficulty with appointment scheduling, including last-minute rescheduling and long waiting times despite early arrivals. ### Conclusion: While many patients have had positive experiences with Dr. Patel and his practice, there are notable issues regarding communication, billing practices, and the handling of patient concerns that have led to dissatisfaction for others. It's important for prospective patients to weigh these mixed reviews and perhaps consider a consultation to gauge their own comfort level and fit with the practice. For those who have had issues, seeking a second opinion, as some patients have recommended, may be beneficial.ScoreDoc Score

I randomly got a $5 charge 5 months after getting an ultrasound here. I literally had to pay beforehand so how would I have missed $5 when they’re the ones who do the billing? This is why people don’t trust doctors now days. It’s not the amount but the principle of the matter.

Do not recommend North Atlanta Vascular Clinic. I arrived 15 minutes early as instructed, only to be told there was no reason to come early since my paperwork was already completed. I still wasn't called back until 30 minutes after my scheduled appointment. The nurse never introduced herself or asked meaningful questions. I explained my symptoms and got a blank nod before she walked out. The ultrasound tech came in without introducing herself, gave no explanation of what she was doing or what she was looking for, and acted bothered to even perform the ultrasound. She asked why I was there after the exam and, when I explained, didn't respond at all. The doctor was in the room for maybe three minutes. It was obvious he hadn't reviewed my chart. He never examined or even touched the hand I'm having issues with. When I asked about specific concerns, I was basically told it's either surgery or do nothing, totally up to me. The entire experience felt rushed, impersonal, and dismissive. I left feeling like I had just met with an ambulance-chasing lawyer. So you'll sign off on me doing nothing or me having surgery? Make it make sense.
