Krishna Patel, Md's Online Review Report Card

I would not recommend whatsoever, I would give zero stars if it were possible. I scheduled a new patient appointment for suspicious moles, a skin cancer prevention check. Dr. Patel did not take the time to listen to my concerns nor fully examine my moles. In a five minute appointment, the doctor looked at various spots on my face for moles, one including a pimple that she declared to be a "normal mole" which gave me little confidence in her abilities or consideration for my skin concerns. Afterwards I received a bill for $130 due to a miscoding of the appointment even though it was preventative care. Many calls back and forth from her billing office, her physician's assistant, and finally Dr. Patel herself. She was incredibly rude and defensive for my request to consider coding it correctly as a preventative care appointment. As a new patient, a little guidance and care would have been greatly appreciated. I have never been treated so disrespectfully by a doctor or medical establishment. I did not get a proper appointment nor diagnosis. I will be going to another dermatologist to finally get my skin checked properly.

I could have gone to my PCP for a topical clindamycin. My other skin problems were not addressed and nothing was prescribed to help with those conditions.
