Rekha Patel Md's Online Review Report Card

EFP has cared for our family for 45 years. From delivering our children and taking care of their medical needs as they grew, to now the needs of my husband and I who are in our Senior years, we consider ourselves fortunate to be a part of the EFP family.

Dr Patel is a wonderful doctor! She is personable and professional. I am very comfortable and confident with her as my Primary Care Doctor for the past 17 years. Highly recommended!👍

I always feel that I'm getting the best care from EFP. I trust my Dr, Rekha and her staff.

She always remembers what we spoke about at previous appointments no matter if it is a year ago, diagnosis related or small talk. It lets me know that she is truly listening and I never feel rushed. She thoroughly explains things to me if I need elaboration; I am also a healthcare professional so she doesn't have to use layman's terms though. She is kind, experienced, knowledgeable and very attentive and I will stay with her as long as I can!

She was my primary care doctor from age 6-18. I always trusted her judgment because she was my doctor but never should've. I dealt with a series of problems that she would brush under the rug. When I was in middle school I was complaining about unexplained weight gain and mood swings. she did a blood test and saw I had low thyroid levels and Hashimoto's a serious autoimmune condition. She told me everything was fine and when I was 18 I could see an endocrinologist since there wasn't a good pediatric one around. Then when I finally saw an endocrinologist they put me on medication and also noticed a vitamin D difficulty that she never mentioned. Then I had issues with GERD and she just put me on medication and told me there was no need to see a specialist to be diagnosed. She was wrong because when I did they diagnosed me with a serious of stomach issues one of which was celiacs disease since I had the signs of it. Something my doctor never saw the signs for. When I told her I had been diagnosed with celiacs she said "It's no big deal even airplanes offer gluten-free food nowadays!" she also told me that have a little gluten here and there is fine if I don't have bad stomach pain. VERY WRONG. any amount of gluten causes an autoimmune response in someone with celiac disease and to a 17-year-old changing their diet for the rest of their lives IS a big deal! She seemed to never have enough time to meet with me and was always rushing me out of her office not listening to my concerns. I wish I knew this when I saw the signs when I was younger. She doesn't really understand the role of a primary care doctor and sure doesn't give you a reason to trust her "judgment".

This Doctor is one of the Worst - please don't take your child to this person. I am surprised that her licence is not taken away from her. She is very very sweet to talk to but she only see dollar signs when dealing with her patients. My daughter had a problem and I took her to this lady. She gave wrong medication - my daughter got worst and then when I took her to another doctor, he said she has a very bad infection and prescribed antibiotics. When children come to her with possible flu, she takes saliva test and says to call her after 3 or 4 days for results. I have found a wonderful doctor but worry about other children that are under this doctor's - Rekha Patel's care.

wanted to like this doctor and give her the benefit of the doubt. its not a welcoming office for starters. For a Pediatrician, they should be. Staff Lady is very Rude. They dont do bloodwork in office along with ear flushes. I wont be going back

Was treated very disrecptfully. Was charge for 3 shots for my daughter when she just went in for a check up by hema. Nobody knows what there doing in this office. Called off 4 days in a row trying to be seen an was refused. No late hours at all. This practice is a joke.

she is the best, she took very good care of me and help me to get better, with her knowledge

Horrible experience
